“…Because the blast loads are spatially and temporally distributed over the entire head and neck, the anatomical model should include the head’s skin, facial structures including ocular and nasal cavities, cranium, and neck geometry. Such anatomical geometries are currently being developed (Chafi et al, 2009; Moore et al, 2009; Przekwas et al, 2009, 2011; Nyein et al, 2010; Ortega, 2011; Zhang et al, 2011; Sundaramurthy et al, 2012). Since blast loads occur at very fast rates, the brain injuries tend to be spatially distributed loci of micro-injuries, e.g., DAI.…”

“…These injuries have generally been attributed to secondary blast (i.e., fragment-and blast driven debris-related) mechanisms but primary blast may be a significant contributor. 1 Primary blast injury has been extensively studied in the lungs, gut, and ears, mainly with regard to survivability 2 and traumatic brain injury (TBI), 3 but similar studies of the eye are sparse. However, a handful of case studies and recent experimental work have determined that primary blast (in the absence of secondary debris) can cause eye damage at survivable levels.…”

“…Barrel pressures in center-fire rifles can be as high as 450 MPa 1 , with frequencies of several hundred kilohertz [5]. Blast waves from battlefield explosions can reach 1 MPa, and the rapid change in pressure from the blast can be a major factor in traumatic brain injury for warfighters [6][7][8], as well as affecting the integrity of structures and equipment. Medical applications, such as blood pressure measurements, have a range of 10 kPa to 100 kPa, with a frequency content of the order of 100 Hz (a 1% time slice of a heart beat) [9].…”
