N2  - Most investigators of brain injury mechanisms agree that rotational motion of the skull is the major agent in producing hemorrhages and lesions at the super- ficial parts of the brain (See e.g. Ommaya and Hirsch, 1971). It must then be essential to know the character and magnitude of the resulting distortion of the brain. Determination of this distortion requires knowledge of the rheological parameters controlling the internal motions in the brain. For this purpose a two-parameter model has been developed, enabling comparatively simple experimental investigations and an exact solution of the equations of motion.<p />
