Human skull may be subjected to a sudden impact during road accidents. The failure may or may not be initiated depending on the severity of the impact during the accident. In general a human skull is an arbitrarily shaped shell and the shape and size vary from person to person. It is also of composite in nature and is made of layers of different bones. In the present work, an attempt has been made to determine the impacting velocity at which the failure will initiate in a skull. This impacting velocity may be termed as 'critical impacting velocity'. A finite element based transient dynamic analysis procedure to study the impact behaviour of human skull is presented in this paper. Effort has also been made to generalize the finite element method so as to account for the composite sandwich construction and arbitrary shell shape of a human skull. Using the degenerated shell approach, the geometry and the displacement fields are directly discretized and mapped into the local domain from the global axes system. |
