Abstract

Skull stiffness of children is of great significance to protect brain tissues during traffic accidents. In this paper, the effects of skull stiffness on traumatic brain injury (TBI) are investigated by using a validated 6-year-old child head finite element (FE) model according to Chinese standard GB/T 24550-2009 Results showed that the HIC value, intracranial pressure, Von Mises stress and shear strain of brain tissue increased with the decrease of skull stiffness during the impact of FE model with engine hood. Therefore, the injury risk of the child head decreases with the increase of skull stiffness. And the skull with higher stiffness can provide a better protection for brain tissues during traffic accidents.
