Dynamic response of the human head to an external stimulus

In this work we present an analysis concerning the mathematical formulation of the general problem of the dynamic loading of the human head. In the proposed analysis the system is assumed to constitute of a stratified spherical medium and a methodology is developed for the study of the dynamic behaviour of the human head. The response of the human head (displacement field and pressure) is investigated when a Dirac force in space and time is applied on it. The role of various parameters entering the dynamic characteristics of the system is extensively discussed.
