Abstract

This paper represents a continuation of previous research on closed head impact in the human cadaver and an associated mathematical model. Two different sets of experiments were conducted: sequential impacts on a single embalmed helmeted specimen; and impact experiments on individual helmeted unembalmed specimens. Impact parameters and intracranial pressures were measured. A finite element model is presented which can predict the intracranial pressures throughout the brain for the first 8 msec.
