Abstract
This paper describes a computational mechanics framework within which the physiological consequences of an accidental head impact injury can be s imulated. This method relies on a combined use of multibody dynamics and finite element anal yses. Such a procedure could ultimately be used to assist in the clinical diagnosis of neur otrauma and in the design of optimised safety helmets.Keywords
