Abstract

The influence of sulci in dynamic finite element simulations of the human head has been investigated. First, a detailed 3D FE model was constructed based on an MRI scan of a human head. A second model with a smoothed brain surface was created based on the same MRI scan as the first FE model. These models were validated against experimental data to confirm their human-like dynamic responses during impact. The validated FE models were subjected to several acceleration impulses and the maximum principle strain and strain rate in the brain were analyzed. The results suggested that the inclusion of sulci should be considered for future FE head models as it alters the strain and strain distribution in an FE model.
