Modal Analysis of the Human Skull

Researchers at North Dakota State University have made great headway in understanding the behavior of the human skull under different strain rates. The study they carried out utilized a combination of computational and experimental modal analysis to compare the accuracy of different techniques used to model a human skull, and ultimately could increase the accuracy of dynamic simulations on the skull.

The research paper was published in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Journal of Vibration and Acoustics. The abstract, as well as the full paper for purchase, can be found here: https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/vibrationacoustics/article-abstract/142/1/011013/1065701
