Data on the impact of an object with different thicknesses of different soft materials at different impact velocities on a dummy head

The purpose of this data is to investigate the effect of differentthicknesses of different soft materials samples added to an objecton the resultant head acceleration of a developed dummy headupon impact. The object was a cylinder (1010 cm2, diameter andheight) and weighs 0.4 kg. The investigated materials were Ecoflex,Dragon Skin, and Clay while the thickness were 1 mm, 2 mm, 3mm, and 5 mm. The velocities of the impacts for the 108 experi-ments were between 1 m/s and 3 m/s. Three severity indices (i.e.peak head linear acceleration, 3 ms criterion and the Head InjuryCriterion (HIC)) were calculated from the raw acceleration data.The impact velocities were tabulated from the video recordings. Asummary of the processed data and the raw data are included inthis dataset. Online repository contains thefiles:https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TXOPUH
