Modeling of Human Head Injuries in an Armored Vehicle

摘要

The aim of studies presented in this paper is numerical analysis IED explosion impact on injuries of soldier's head in a wheeled armored personnel carrier. The most dangerous scenarios for head injury have been selected for detailed analysis using FEM. The author's model of the human head allowed the analysis of dynamic effects on individual head structures. The results of the simulations made it possible to assess the parameters determining head injury of the soldier during the IED explosion which will enable the development of guidelines to improve their safety. The developed model allows to determine the parameter of stress, strain and pressure acting on the human head. The results of these studies can be used to improve the construction of military helmets to minimize the possibility of head injury. The presented research was carried out as part of the NCBiR grant DOBR-BIO4/022/13149/2013 of 20/12/2013.
