Factors Contributing to Increased Blast Overpressure Inside Modern Ballistic Helmets

Factors Contributing to Increased Blast Overpressure Inside Modern Ballistic Helmets

This study demonstrates the orientation and the "shape factor" have pronounced effects on the development of the localized pressure fields inside of the helmet. We used anatomically accurate headform to evaluate four modern combat helmets under blast loading conditions in the shock tube. T...
