TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Computational Analysis of Head Impact Response Under Car Crash Loadings JO - Proceedings: Stapp Car Crash Conference A1 - DiMasi, FP A1 - Eppinger, Rolf H. A1 - Bandak, FA SP - 425 EP - 438 VL - 39 IS - N2 - A computational procedure for estimating damage on the soft tissue of the brain, by replicating transitional and rotational dynamic loads experienced during actual crash testing has been described. Data from 3-2-2-2 array of accelerometers located within the dummy headpart are used to extract a complete 6 DOF characterization of the headpart translational and rotational velocity and momentum field. These data are used as input to a finite element model of the brain to compute Cumulative Strain Damage Measure values in response to dynamic loads applied using actual crash test data.
