Bioinspired Materials, Designs, and Manufacturing Strategies for Advanced Impact‐Resistant Helmets
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 22, November 2025.This review explores how bioinspired materials, structures, and manufacturing strategies transform helmet design to achieve enhanced impact resistance. Drawing inspiration from nacre, porcupine quills, beetle exoskeletons, and skull architectures, it highlights advances in auxetic lattices, nanocomposites, and functionally graded foams.

Crashworthiness of Safe Fuels [PDF]
ASME 1972 International Gas Turbine and Fluids Engineering Conference and Products Show, 1972 Safety fuels such as emulsified and gelled fuels have been studied over the past several years as one means for reducing the post-crash fire hazard associated with aircraft accidents. However, through the work described herein, only recently has a quantitative evaluation been made to characterize the safety performance of these fuels.

Optimal Design of Cellular Material Systems for Crashworthiness [PDF]
, 2016 This work proposes a new method to design crashworthiness structures that made of functionally graded cellular (porous) material. The proposed method consists of three stages: The first stage is to generate a conceptual design using a topology ...

Characterization and Reporting Protocols for Structural Power Composites: A Perspective
Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 42, November 11, 2025.Here, the issues for testing and reporting on structural power composites are described: multifunctional materials that can carry loads while providing electrical energy. As well as proposing best practice, the development of a “universal coupon” is recommended for studying these materials and any interactions that occur between the two functions ...

Material relation to assess the crashworthiness of ship structures [PDF]
, 2009 A ship collision accident can result in severe environmental damage and loss of life. Therefore the non-linear finite element method with shell elements is used to assess the crashworthiness of ship steel structures through collision simulations. However,
