  • Title: [Developing a finite element model of human head with true anatomic structure mandible].
    Author: Ma C, Zhang H, Du H, Huang S, Zhang J.
    Journal: Sheng Wu Yi Xue Gong Cheng Xue Za Zhi; 2005 Feb; 22(1):53-6. PubMed ID: 15762115.
    Abstract:
    A finite element model of human mandible is developed from CT scan images by the technologies of three-dimensional reconstruction, image processing and meshing. The mandible model is connected to one modified head model of Hybrid III dummy with joint according to the anatomic structure and mechanical characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. Then a finite element model of the human head with the true anatomic structure mandible is developed. This model has been validated with the cadaver test results. It can be used in researches on the mechanism of craniofacial blunt-impact injury and on the assessment of injury severity.
