The study of traumatic brain injury (TBI) encompasses research spanning from injury prevention to clinical interventions, all of which have been influenced by bioengineering. Bioengineering uses quantitative analyses and problem-solving skills to approach the complexity of many areas of neurotrauma research including injury biomechanics, imaging, biomarkers, and data analytics. This chapter presents basic bioengineering concepts, highlights significant contributions to neurotrauma research, and discusses opportunities in the field that may lend themselves to bioengineering solutions. The intention of the author is to promote an appreciation of engineering and to catalyze problem-solving among readers, engineers and non-engineers alike.

Traumatic brain injury from explosive devices has become the signature wound of the U.S. armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan [1–4]. However, due to the complicated nature of this specific form of brain injury, little is known about the injury mechanisms. Physical head models have been used in blunt and penetrating head trauma studies to obtain biomechanical data and correlate to mechanisms of injury [5–8]. The current study is designed to investigate intracranial head/brain injury biomechanics under blast loading using a physical head model.

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a significant portion of all injuries occurring as a result of automotive, motorcycle and sports related injuries. Over the years, a large amount of literature has been devoted to an increased understanding of clinical symptoms, pathological evidence and injury biomechanics for such injuries. However, the precise causal mechanism, which accounts for complex mechanical interactions and responses in an anatomical structure as complex as the brain, is not fully understood.

The Head Injury Criterion (HIC) has been employed as a measure of traumatic brain injury arising from an impact involving linear acceleration. Some investigators have been reported the shortcomings of the HIC regarding the angular accelerations, head mass and the precise threshold of injury level [1, 2]. In this study the effect of acceleration curves, as a frontal impact, and the HIC values on the strain in the brain was critically analyzed. Specifically in this paper, the strains in the brain for three sets of acceleration pulses, where the peak of the curve takes place early or later (advanced or delayed) during the pulse time, were investigated. The results of this study indicate that for two different acceleration pulses, with the same peak value, duration and the same HIC values the strains in the brain are different. Therefore there is a need for further research leading to better criteria or modification of the HIC as it relates to the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
