A parametric study was conducted to delineate the efficacy of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as ballistic faceshields and advanced combat helmets, in the case of a blast. The propagations of blast waves and their interactions with an unprotected head, a helmeted one, and a fully protected finite element head model (FEHM) were modeled. The biomechanical parameters of the brain were recorded when the FEHM was exposed to shockwaves from the front, back, top, and bottom. The directional dependent tissue response of the brain and the variable efficiency of PPE with respect to the blast orientation were two major results of this study.
进行了一项参数研究，以描述个人防护装备（PPE），如防弹面罩和先进战斗头盔，在爆炸情况下的功效。模拟了爆炸波的传播及其与未防护的头部、戴头盔的头部以及完全防护的有限元头部模型（FEHM）的相互作用。当FEHM暴露于来自正面、背面、顶部和底部的冲击波时，记录了大脑的生物力学参数。大脑的方向依赖性组织反应以及PPE相对于爆炸方向的可变效率是本研究的两个主要结果。
