abstract="In this paper, a detailed sensitivity study on the recently developed Translational Energy Criteria (TEC) was accomplished. The results of the study confirmed that the TEC is consistent with the well accepted conclusion implying that a harder head impact causes a more severe head injury. In the TEC analysis, the energy function increases as the impact momentum increases. Thus, a harder hit (higher momentum) causes a more serious head injury and has a higher EC2 value. The results of the TEC analysis also showed that the power function, the impact onset rate and skull fracture correlate well. As a result, the TEC may also be used to predict the occurrence of skull fracture in impact situations.<p />",
