- In this paper helmet liner components made by a new viscoelastic material were evaluated for reducing the risk of traumatic brain injury. The project was funded by the Welsh government (Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) grant), Dainese (helmet manufacturer) and Rheon Labs (commercially available helmet add-on components, https://rheonlabs.com/) in collaboration with Imperial College London (m.ghajari@imperial.ac.uk). The results assisted Rheon Labs in product development (info@rheonlabs.com) and were followed up by a study on helmet and component modelling (Siegkas, P. and Ghajari, M., 2017, IRCOBI) and liner optimisation.
