Mechanics of Soccer Heading and Protective Headgear (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)

"This short book provides a concise study of the mechanics of head impact in a soccer heading manoeuvre. It describes the development and validation of finite element models of soccer ball and human head, as well as the simulation of brain dynamics after ball-to-head impact. In addition, it also presents a computational study of the efficacy of wearing protective headgear in mitigating the risk of concussion due to heading in soccer"-- Proporcionat per l'editor Front Matter ....Pages i-xii Concussion in Soccer (Mohd Hasnun Arif Hassan, Zahari Taha, Iskandar Hasanuddin, Mohd Jamil Mohamed Mokhtarudin)....Pages 1-9 Soccer Ball Finite Element Model (Mohd Hasnun Arif Hassan, Zahari Taha, Iskandar Hasanuddin, Mohd Jamil Mohamed Mokhtarudin)....Pages 11-17 Human Head Finite Element Model (Mohd Hasnun Arif Hassan, Zahari Taha, Iskandar Hasanuddin, Mohd Jamil Mohamed Mokhtarudin)....Pages 19-27 Simulation of Soccer Heading Manoeuvre (Mohd Hasnun Arif Hassan, Zahari Taha, Iskandar Hasanuddin, Mohd Jamil Mohamed Mokhtarudin)....Pages 29-37 Analysis of Protective Headgear (Mohd Hasnun Arif Hassan, Zahari Taha, Iskandar Hasanuddin, Mohd Jamil Mohamed Mokhtarudin)....Pages 39-43
