Precise analysis of head deformation at falling shock

Accurate evaluation of fall accidents is very important. We have done the experiment in JARI using human-type robot which simulates the human accidental injury. The precise data of acceleration has been taken from the robot. Using the acceleration data, the motion of the head center is derived. The speed and the position of the head center are determined under a realistic condition. The deformation of head surface is also calculated and was found that it is 1.0~1.2 mm in a natural falling. The solutions of a long interval of 324 ms are shown.
