  • Abstract
    A review of recent research on the limiting performance analysis of impact isolation systems for injury prevention is presented. A limiting performance analysis establishes the absolute optimum for a performance index measuring the quality of an isolation system by solving an optimal control problem. Problems related to the optimal design of a crashworthy helicopter seat, automobile seatbelts, and sporting helmets are discussed.
