The impact of different shaped objects of different masses at different impact velocities on a dummy head (dataset)

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the mass, the shape, and impact speed of an object on the resultant head acceleration of a developed dummy head. The investigated mass was in the range of 0.3 - 0.5 kg while the shapes considered were cube, wedge and cylinder. The impact velocities were in the range of 1 - 3 m/s. A total of 144 experiments were conducted and the corresponding videos and raw data were analyzed for impact velocity, peak head linear acceleration, 3ms criterion and the Head Injury Criterion (HIC). This dataset includes the raw acceleration data and summary of the overall processed data.
