Abstract

Stress concentrations occur in the shell elements directly under the center core area of a localized external load. Therefore, the force on the center core, not the entire force distribution, is critical for the assessment of skull responses. Based on this concept, a study concerning the effects of various force patterns upon skull responses was carried out. The results lead to the development of a simple method of assessing padding materials for head impact protection.
