Abstract
Presented is the development of a simulation that allows for preliminary investigation of impact to a 10 day old infant head. A computer-aided drafting (CAD) model is reconstructed from high resolution computerised tomography (CT) scan images and meshed for finite element analysis (FEA); soft tissue responses were defined using recently derived material properties. It is anticipated that the FE model will be used to investigate the paediatric head response during impact conditions, to provide a better understanding/prediction of injury biomechanics.
