Army-UNL Center for Trauma Mechanics

Abstract

The goal of this project is to understand the fundamental material and mechanical behaviors of protective systems in mitigating brain trauma under blast loading conditions. Such knowledge will enable the development of a reliable, repeatable testbed to validate new protective systems under blast loading conditions and, subsequently, reduce the short- and long-term effects of blast waves on the warfighter. This project will employ novel sensor, imaging, and engineering technologies to quantitatively characterize the mechanics of mild blast-induced traumatic.
