Cranial Biomechanical Simulation

AbstractIn order to improve the understanding, detection and prevention of traumatic brain injury (TBI), a step forward must be taken in the research. A pursue of biomechanical and clinical theories in separate, must give place to a joined effort. Therefore, it is proposed the development of a virtual platform using BioCAD protocol, surface modeling software and finite element method (FEM) analysis software, in order to achieve a model that can be adapted to the needs of the user or patient. This will result in an innovative and most needed tool, so that research and prevention of TBI enter a new level
