Ballistic Load Sensing Headform (BLSH)
Blunt force impact to the head may cause skull fracture and underlying brain injuries.
Blunt force impact to the head may cause skull fracture and underlying brain injuries.
The Mandible Load Sensing Headform can be used to evaluate the level of impact protection provided by facial/jaw guards by assessing the jaw forces and head accelerations.
Biokinetics has led the way to developing more relevant test equipment to better understand the protective benefits of helmets and body padding.
Biokinetics’ test equipment and tools are focused on gaining a better understanding of the benefits of personal protective equipment whether it is from ballistic, blunt impact or stab threats to the head, torso or other body regions.
NIJ Standard–0115.00, Stab Resistance of Personal Body Armor, is an equipment performance standard developed by the Office of Law Enforcement Standards at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in collaboration with the Police Scientific Development Branch (PSDB) in the United Kingdom (UK). It is produced as part of the Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program of the National Institute of Justice.
Impact to the human head always induces both linear and rotational motions. The impact vector applies a radial force offset to the head’s centre of gravity as well as a tangential force acting across the surface of the cranium, both which induce rotational motion.
Standardized industrial and sports eyewear standards already exist. But what if you have a scenario, either a situation or a projectile, that falls outside the scope of these standards?
Mouth guards are used in sports and other activities to protect the teeth, gums and soft tissues in the mouth against impact damage.
Traditional head impact testing consists of a surrogate humanoid headform instrumented with linear acceleration sensors.
Sports and recreational facilities adopt synthetic turf and resilient flooring surfaces to enhance playability and provide orthopaedic benefit to the participants.
