Abstract EN
Brain tissue mechanical properties are of importance to investigate child head injury using finite element (FE) method.
However, these properties used in child head FE model normally vary in a large range in published literatures because of the insufficient child cadaver experiments.
In this work, a head FE model with detailed anatomical structures is developed from the computed tomography (CT) data of a 6-year-old healthy child head.
The effects of brain tissue mechanical properties on traumatic brain response are also analyzed by reconstruction of a head impact on engine hood according to Euro-NCAP testing regulation using FE method.
The result showed that the variations of brain tissue mechanical parameters in linear viscoelastic constitutive model had different influences on the intracranial response.
Furthermore, the opposite trend was obtained in the predicted shear stress and shear strain of brain tissues caused by the variations of mentioned parameters.
