Abstract

In this paper experimental experiences in LARM 2 in Rome are presented to analyze impacts on human head. The experiments are worked out with on a commercial head mannequin that is hit by a rigid object. Two Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors and three force sensors are used to measure the impact characteristics. The sensors are located on suitable head points in order to monitor force, acceleration and angular displacement on lateral impact events. Results of illustrative tests are discussed to investigate and to characterize the biomechanics in human head impacts. Considerations from results are used to formulate a new criterion for neck-head injury by impacts.
