Samenvatting
This paper presents a modal analysis of the head-neck system, achieved using human volunteer subjects. The experimental impact device consisted of a pendulum which frontally impacted the forehead of a seated volunteer. Acceleration and frequency of the head were measured. Mathematical frequency analysis was performed. A three dimensional representation was obtained by including the spatial dimension, to show the deformed mode shapes of the neck: extension and translation modes.
