Abstract:
:A three-dimensional finite element model of the human head is presented. The model has been validated against two sets of experimental results. To assess injury likelihood of the head subjected to impact loading, the structural intensity (SI) methodology is introduced in accordance with the prevailing practice in experimental biomechanics. SI is a vector quantity indicating the direction and magnitude of power flow inside a dynamically loaded structure. In this paper, the SI field inside the head model is computed for three cases, namely frontal, rear and side impacts. The results for the three cases have revealed that there exist power flow paths. The skull is, in general, a good energy flow channel. The study has also revealed the high possibility of spinal cord injury due to wave motion inside the head.
