Abstract: Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (BTBI) is the main form of injury for individual soldiers in the new war mode. Especially in the frequent terrorist attacks and explosion safety accidents in recent years, more and more civilians are suffering from such kind of trauma. So far, the domestic and foreign scholars have studied the brain injury caused by blast waves, but the injury mechanism, damage threshold, protection technology and injury assessment technology have not been clarified yet. Based on the extensive investigation on the latest research frontiers at home and abroad, the generation of blast waves, the types of brain injuries and its pathological characteristics, the research methods, the injury mechanism, the damage threshold and the protection methods are reviewed, focusing on analyzing the current research status and hot spots, the existing main problems and the future research direction.

Key words: explosivewave, braininjury, mechanicalmechanism, protection
