建立基于人体解剖学结构的HBM(Human body model)头部三维有限元模型。详细描述了人体头部的主要解剖学结构,模型由头皮、颅骨、硬脑膜、脑脊液、软脑膜、大脑、小脑、脑室、脑干、脑镰和脑幕等组成。采用人体头部碰撞实验数据,比较了实验与仿真中头部的动力学响应和颅内压力分布参数,对头部有限元模型进行了验证。结果表明,该模型具有较好的生物逼真度,可以用来分析研究车辆交通事故中颅脑创伤和损伤机理。
This paper aims at investigating brain injury mechanisms and predicting head injuries in real world accidents. For this purpose, a 3D human head finite element model (HBM-head) was developed based on head-brain anatomy. The HBM head model was validated with two experimental tests. Then the head finite element(FE) model and a multi-body system (MBS) model were used to carry out reconstructions of real world vehicle-pedestrian accidents and brain injuries. The MBS models were used for calculating the head impact conditions in vehicle impacts. The HBM-head model was used for calculating the injury related physical parameters, such as intracranial pressure, stress, and strain. The calculated intracranial pressure and strain distribution were correlated with the injury outcomes observed from accidents. It is shown that this model can predict the intracranial biomechanical response and calculate the injury related physical parameters. The head FE model has good biofidelity and will be a valuable tool for the study of injury mechanisms and the tolerance level of the brain.
