冲击波引起的颅骨弯曲:脑损伤机制与头盔设计
Skull Flexure from Blast Waves: A Mechanism for Brain Injury with Implications for Helmet Design
摘要:
创伤性脑损伤(TBI)已成为当前军事冲突的标志性损伤,具有衰弱,昂贵和持久的影响。虽然头部撞击导致TBI的机制已经得到了很好的研究,但爆炸导致TBI的机制还不清楚。从数值流体动力学模拟中,我们发现,即使没有头部撞击,非致命性爆炸也会引起足够的颅骨弯曲,从而在大脑中产生潜在的破坏性载荷。这种机制可能有助于TBI的损伤诊断和装甲设计的可能性。
英文摘要:
Traumatic brain injury [TBI] has become a signature injury of current military conflicts, with debilitating, costly, and long-lasting effects. Although mechanisms by which head impacts cause TBI have been well-researched, the mechanisms by which blasts cause TBI are not understood. From numerical hydrodynamic simulations, we have discovered that non-lethal blasts can induce sufficient skull flexure to generate potentially damaging loads in the brain, even without a head impact. The possibility that this mechanism may contribute to TBI has implications for injury diagnosis and armor design.
