Figure 2. An example of the stress contours on the deformed shape of the skull and the ball (base mass model) during impact at intervals of 4 ms.

ABSTRACT

The peak horizontal acceleration of the frontal node on the skull in this study was 35 g (gravity) at the ball velocity before impact of 6.65 m.s1, that of the parietal node was 54 g and that of occipital node was 37 g (Fig. 3).
