Abstract

This paper reviews the literature available on the biomechanics of facial impact response and previous anthropometric dummy faceform concepts for facial injury assessment. The general requirements for a biomechanically realistic faceform, developed from the literature, are given and the development of a simple structural modification to achieve this performance in a production head for the Hybrid III dummy is described.
