With this book as their guide, readers will discover how to design
better protective equipment and devices such as helmets, seat
belts, and wheelchairs in order to minimize the risk or the extent
of injury to people subjected to impact loads. It is based on the
theory of optimal shock isolation, first developed in the 1950s to
protect missile systems from intensive shock loads.
Using examples from automotive, aviation, and military areas,
the authors demonstrate how optimal shock isolation theory enables
designers to improve the performance of protective equipment by
incorporating control and optimization methods developed for shock
isolation systems.
The first part of "Injury Biomechanics and Control" lays down
the engineering foundation, setting forth core principles and
techniques, including:
Fundamentals of impact and shock isolation systems
Basic optimal shock isolation for single-degree-of-freedom
systems
Optimal shock isolation for multi-degree-of-freedom systems
The second part applies the principles set forth in the first
part to solve real-world problems, using simple mathematical models
that simulate the mechanical response of human bodies to impact
loads in order to optimize shock isolation systems. This book
enables scientists, engineers, and students in mechanical,
biomechanical, and biomedical engineering to fully realize the
potential of shock isolation methods for the development of
protective equipment and devices.
