New research on the effects of blast waves could lead to an enhanced understanding of head injuries and improved military helmet design. Using numerical hydrodynamic computer simulations, Lawrence ...

Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a well-recognized consequence of extreme blast waves, it is less appreciated that over 80 percent of combat veterans with TBI also develop visual problems. A ...

Some weapons used by the U.S. military are so powerful they can pose a threat to the people who fire them. When weapons are fired, an invisible blast wave travels through the brains of anyone nearby.

Biomedical engineers from Duke University have demonstrated that, despite significant advancements in protection from ballistics and blunt impacts, modern military helmets are no better at protecting ...

In a new paper, researchers compare 100-year-old military helmet technology to what soldiers use today, and the results may surprise you. These researchers wanted to study how helmets endure primary ...
