Abstract

The finite element human head model is developed for traumatic injury assessment. The model is constructed based on the precise anatomical geometry and validated with test results. In this paper, structural and physiologic explanation of human head will be introduced as well as the modeling methodology. Some of simulation results are also chosen to present major features of the model.
