Computational Biomechanics of Blast-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury: Role of Loading Directionality, Head Protection, and Blast Flow Mechanics

In this dissertation, blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is studied with respect to the blast wave directionality, mitigation capability of helmet/faceshield, and blast flow mechanics using finite element (FE) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) schemes. For the FE study, simulations...
