Design of a Neck-Support-Incorporated Helmet for Reducing the Risk of Concussion in Ice Hockey
PubblicoThe goal of this project was to reduce the likelihood of concussions for ice hockey players by designing a neck support utilizing shear-thickening fluids. A testing mechanism was created to simulate concussion causing impacts while measuring accelerations. It was found that the use of a shear-thickening non-Newtonian fluid reduced the likelihood of a concussion. To support our findings, we computed and compared standard injury indices to evaluate if our goal was met.
