Abstract

Since 1974, finite element methods have been used to study the dynamic response characteristics of the brain. A comparison of brain pressures in padded and unpadded impacts showed that padding reduces the pressures in the brain and minimizes brain contusions. A similar pressure difference was observed in helmeted and unhelmeted head impacts and is reported in this paper.
