Final Report, 1 January 1976 to 30 September 1979,

Abstract

The technical area of investigation involved the biomechanics of head injury and the biomechanics of the head-neck system under impact and impulsive loading. Theoretical models of the two types of systems were analyzed with respect to response for a known input, and experimental models were constructed and appropriately loaded so that the measured history of mechanical parameters could be compared with predictions. The analysis generally required the use of either digital computing devices or intermediate-sized minicomputers in addition to the specification of an appropriate mechanical model.
