The impact of an object with different thicknesses of different soft materials at different impact velocities on a dummy head (dataset)

The purpose of this data is to study the effect of different thicknesses of different soft materials added to an object on the resultant head acceleration of a developed dummy head upon impact. The object was a cylinder (10 X 10 cm^2) and weigh 0.4 kg. The investigated materials were ecoflex, dragon skin, and clay while the thickness were 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm. The impact velocities were in the range of 1 - 3 m/s. A total of 108 experiments were conducted. The raw data were analyzed for peak head linear acceleration, 3 ms criterion and the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) while the videos were analyzed for the impact velocity. This dataset includes the raw acceleration data and summary of the overall processed data.
