Abstract

Current head injury tolerance parameters or criteria used for regulation involve linear acceleration levels or their histories for the entire cranium. Other proposed criteria pertain to angular acceleration, or a mean strain; a viscous criterion has been proposed for soft tissue. Such prescrip- tions are unable to differentiate between various regions of the head. This paper outlines a procedure based on the principles of continuum mechanics and knowledge of material properties.
