Dynamic Analysis of Frontal Human Skull Using Finite Element Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main purpose of the present study is to develop one degree of freedom of frontal human head impact test procedure using finite element simulation. This study is to compare the results between simulation and experimental result conducted by Delye et al. To conduct this study, the process involve is to develop finite element modeling of human skull and to analyze the data analysis which investigating the impact conditions of human skull during a human head impact on the resulting total deformation and stress distribution. There were geometric preparations, selection of elements, selection of materials, application of loadings, and the specification of boundary conditions.
