Development of a Detailed Finite Element Model of the BIPED and Verification of Fidelity in Two Cases of Blunt Impact
DownloadFall 2023
Physical surrogates of the human head are commonly used to model cranial impacts and assess head injuries. The Brain Injury Protection Evaluation Device (BIPED mk2) is a head form that contains a brain simulant, fluid layer, connective membranes, a skull, and a skin layer and can measure...

Repeatability of a novel prototype surrogate neck model developed for omni-directional head impacts
DownloadSpring 2022
Head impacts, both concussive and sub-concussive, are common in sports and can lead to adverse side effects. Since head kinematics are thought to correlate with brain injury, the implementation of protective headgear aimed to mitigate kinematics of the head during impacts. While fatal brain...

The development and biomechanics of theropod teeth and comparisons with other reptiles: a functional analysis
DownloadSpring 2012
Teeth are important for taxonomic studies. They are often the only remains found of certain vertebrates in the fossil record. This is because they are more resistant to weathering than most bones, they are small, and they are generally abundant. Most reptiles have homodont dentition, and the...

The effect of torso mass in direct head impacts using a Hybrid III neck and a novel surrogate neck model
DownloadSpring 2023
Concussions are one of the most common injuries in sport and can result in detrimental long-term health effects. To reduce the severity of concussion and head injury, protective headgear has been implemented and is continually evaluated to minimize head kinematics after impact. For investigation...

Three species of Cretaceous marine squamates are described or redescribed. The first, Pontosaurus ribaguster is described from a relatively complete specimen discovered on Hvar Island, Croatia. Preservation of identifiable nektonic teleosts within the gastric cavity (the first identifiable...
