Abstract

A system has been developed which enables one to study the deformation occurring in model skull-brain systems where the kinematics of the loading conditions are identical to those which are demonstrated to produce a range of specific brain injuries in a subhuman private model. The simple model presented here suggest that the strains can be determined and the rotational acceleration can be scaled as a function of brain mass to yield a linear relationship between the two.
