Abstract

The present study introduces a quantitative and methodological tool for assessing the effectiveness with which ballistic helmets protect the brain and optic nerve against non-penetrating projectile impacts. A three-dimensional finite element biomimetic head model with different ballistic helmets was used for this purpose.
