Abstract
Helmet performance and design are intimately related, where the technical functional aspects are for protection and safety, yet non-technically functional aspects determine usability and commercial viability. These proceedings from the Helmet Performance and Design conference held at Imperial College London on the 15th February 2013 reflect the various aspects of research that is key in the field. As organisers we are grateful for the contributions from leaders in the discipline who have travelled far and wide to come together to present the state of the art and to debate the future of the field. Presenters have come from North America, Europe and Asia, bringing world-leading expertise in brain injury, biomechanics, forensic analysis, computational mechanics, materials science, and testing and design. The breadth of participants’ expertise and background demonstrates that this is a truly inter-disciplinary field with wide applicability in sports, motorcycle and bicycle equipment, military helmets, and other fields including clinical treatment.
