Abstract

An injury mechanism is defined as a description of the mechanical and physiological changes that result in anatomical and functional damage in the human being. The mechanisms of head injury have been studied through the use of animal experiments, PMHS (Post Mortem Human Subjects), physical models and models developed using Finite Elements.
