abstract="The aim of the work presented in this poster is to set up a numerical model in order to simulate skull fracture, and to analyze the effects of the material discontinuity induced by this non-linearity on intracranial stress field. Mechanical parameters of cranial bone were found in the bibliography for the finite element modeling (FEM) of skull fracture. A failure criterion was validated with cranial bone samples and is applied to a new three-dimensional (3D) anatomic skull model. The results comply well with the experimental bone response found in the bibliography. Finally, a simple spherical human head model was used to analyze the effects of skull fracture on head response in case of shock.<p />",
