Abstract
The high incidence of head injuries resulting from transportation system crashes, sports, military activities, falls, assaults, etc. contributes to a preponderance of head injury biomechanics research. A wealth of publications result, addressing phenomenological and mechanistic issues associated with head response to mechanical impact. This literature survey provides an assessment of hypothesized brain injury mechanisms, brain injury criteria, mathematical models of head injury and available techniques for measuring head kinematics and brain tissue deformations associated with exposure to dynamic loads.
