abstract="This paper describes an investigation into the localized impact response of aluminium honeycombs and sandwich panels from the perspective of their use in occupant head protection applications. A programme of quasi-static and dynamic low-velocity impact testing using a hemispheric &quot;head form&quot; impactor is described. From this, design data is presented in terms of acceleration histories and head injury criterion values. Furthermore, a simple analytical model is described for predicting acceleration histories for preliminary design purposes.<p />",
