TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to present results from methodologies used in the laboratory that are targeted toward identifying specific brain injury thresholds, as well as identifying new means of diagnostic and treatment techniques for diffuse axonal injury.
Motorcycle accident cause factors and identification of countermeasures
TL;DR: In this paper, an on-scene, in-depth investigation of 900 motorcycle accidents was conducted in Los Angeles, California, where human factors, vehicle and environmental data were collected.
Motorcycle accident cause factors and identification of countermeasures. volume ii: appendix/supplemental data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the data and findings from the on-scene, in-depth investigations of 900 motorcycle accidents and the analysis of 3600 motorcycle traffic accident reports in the same study area.
Human head dynamic response to side impact by finite element modeling
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic response of the human head to side impact was studied by 2-dimensional finite element modeling, and three models were formulated in this study: an axisymmetric model, a single-layered spherical shell filled with an inviscid fluid, and a plane strain model of a coronal section of the head.

Human Head Dynamic Response to Side Impact by Finite Element Modeling
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the membranes and that of the mechanical properties of the skull, brain, and membrane on the dynamic response of the brain during side impact, and to compare the pressure distributions from the plane strain model with the axisymmetric model.
