TLDR
This review paper gives a thorough overview of the work carried out by the scientific community in the field of impact biomechanics about head injuries sustained during sports activity and presents the head injury criteria and their respective thresholds.Abstract:
Head injuries occur in a great variety of sports. Many of these have been associated with neurological injuries, affecting the central nervous system. Some examples are motorsports, cycling, skiing, horse riding, mountaineering and most contact sports such as football, ice and field hockey, soccer, lacrosse, etc. The outcome of head impacts in these sports can be very severe. The worst-case scenarios of permanent disability or even death are possibilities. Over recent decades, many In recent decades, a great number of head injury criteria and respective thresholds have been proposed. However, the available information is much dispersed and a consensus has still not been achieved regarding the best injury criteria or even their thresholds. This review paper gives a thorough overview of the work carried out by the scientific community in the field of impact biomechanics about head injuries sustained during sports activity. The main goal is to review the head injury criteria, as well as their thresholds. Several are reviewed, from the predictors based on kinematics to the ones based on human tissue thresholds. In this work, we start to briefly introduce the head injuries and their mechanisms commonly seen as a result of head trauma in sports. Then, we present and summarize the head injury criteria and their respective thresholds.read more

Helmet design based on the optimization of biocomposite energy-absorbing liners under multi-impact loading
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of agglomerated cork as padding material in safety helmets was analyzed, and a new helmet model with a generic geometry was developed, based on the head injury risk predictions by the finite element head model, YEt Another Head Model (YEAHM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of a new finite element human head model: Yet another head model (YEAHM)
TL;DR: This model was validated against experimental data from impact tests on cadavers, comparing the intracranial pressure at frontal, parietal, occipital and posterior fossa regions and can be now used in accident reconstruction and injury evaluation and even as a design tool for protective head gear.

Assessing impact velocity and temperature effects on crashworthiness properties of cork material
TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of three different types of agglomerated cork to withstand large quantities of impact energy was evaluated with a 9 kg impact mass travelling at velocities up to 13.7m/s.
