Abstract

If dummy heads are to be used for assessment of human head injury hazard, their geometric characteristics should be based on human anthropometry. The location of skull landmarks as well as the construction and configuration of a skull geometry model are documented in this paper. In using the information presented here, it is important to realize that duplication of human structural geometry in dummy head design is not sufficient to insure similarity of human and dummy responses.
