Temporal characteristics of translational acceleration in the prediction of helmeted head injury.

Abstract

The study examines the significance of time as a parameter in the prediction of head injury likelihood or severity. It is shown that since the temporal characteristics of the acceleration waveform is simply a reflection of the mechanical characteristics of the headform/ helmet assembly it bears only a trivial relation to the imput forcing function and thus is generally uncorrelatable to head injury severity.
