Abstract

The development of the Mean Strain Criterion, which considers the total linear acceleration history of the head but assumes a single injury mechanism, is discussed. Various head injury criteria are described and compared. The results of a series of impact and static load deflection tests aimed at establishing force-time and acceleration time histories for fresh cadaver heads to allow the specification of the appropriate impact responses of a new generation of crash test device heads are also presented.
