Optimal Impact Isolation for Injury Prevention Evaluated by the Head Injury Criterion

The optimal control of the deceleration of a particle moving along a straight line after an impact against an isolated surface is considered. The force applied to the particle by the surface is treated as the control variable. The deceleration distance is minimized subject to a constraint on the Hea...
