Capabilities of Helmets for Preventing Head Injuries Induced by Ballistic Impacts

The limiting performance of ballistically loaded helmets designed to reduce head injuries is studied analytically. The projectile does not penetrate the helmet. This analysis evaluates the absolute minimum of the peak displacement of the helmet shell relative to the head, provided that criteria meas...
