Abstract EN
The objective of this study is to analyze the biomechanical effects of sinuses in the skull on the facial impact response.
Two models were built, where one had sinuses and the other had none.
The models were verified using cadaver test data, including impacts to frontal bone, zygomatic bone, and maxillae.
In the maxilla and zygoma impact, sinuses were found to have no significant effect on the global distribution of stress or stiffness of facial bones, and the influence was limited in local area.
In forehead impact, the sinuses significantly affected the distribution of stress and strain in the skull due to its location in facial bones.
The result shows that if the sinus is far away from the location of impact, its effect on the overall response of skull could be ignored.
In addition, the distance between the region of interest and sinuses is another important parameter when studying the local effect of sinuses.
