Abstract

The human head is modelled by considering the skull to be an elastic prolate spheroidal shell enclosing an acoustic medium which represents the brain. A suddenly applied, uniformly distributed, pressure is applied to the shell surface. Time histories of the distribution of stress in the shell and pressure in the fluid are obtained for material and geometrical parameters representative of a human head. The results are presented.
