"A powerful tool for investigating the physical process producing head trauma is finite element (FE) modeling. In this paper, we present a 3D FE model of the human head that accounts for important geometric characteristics of the various components within the human head through an efficient magnetic resonance imaging voxel-based mesh generation method," scientists in the United States report.

"To validate the FE model, a previous cadaver experiment of frontal impact is simulated, and this is where heretofore unknown wave patterns are discovered. The model is run under either of two extreme assumptions concerning the head-neck junction-free or fixed-and the experimental...
