Development of a New Finite Element Human Head Model

This chapter presents the modelling of a new and geometrically detailed FEHM. This model stands out by its brain with sulci and gyri structures. Several steps were necessary to model it, specially the geometry based on medical images. Material modelling and proper contact definition were also necessary to develop the head model. In addition, the contact definition used for this model allows the brain to move inside the skull, which makes this model more realistic.
