5203 |aThis article presents the joint analysis of previous blast test results generated with the brain injury protection evaluation device (BIPED) headform under four significantly different exposure conditions. The focus of the analysis is to demonstrate how the nature of the recorded response is highly dependent on the exposure characteristics and consequently, on the method used to reproduce blast exposure in a laboratory environment. The timing and magnitude of the variations in intra-cranial pressures (ICP) were analysed relative to the external pressure field in order to better understand the wave dynamics occurring within the brain structure of the headform. ICP waveforms were also analysed in terms of their energy spectral density to better identify the energy partitioning between the different modes of response. It is shown that the BIPED response is multi-modal and that the energy partitioning between its different modes of response is greatly influenced by exposure characteristics such as external peak overpressure, impulse, blast wave structure, and direction of propagation. Convincing evidence of stresses generated from local skull deformation is presented along with evidence of stress transmission through relative brain-to-skull motion. These findings suggest that research aimed at defining exposure thresholds should not focus on a single stress transmission mechanism or use experimental designs unrepresentative of realistic blast loading conditions that may favour a given mechanism over another.
