Abstract

The dynamic response of the human head is investigated using experimental data and analytical simulations. The head acceleration response is characterized from experiments on seated human cadavers subjected to frontal, occipital, and side head impacts. Acceleration time histories at the head vertex and at the front/occiput side of the head are presented for measured force time histories and impact velocities.
