Topographical mapping of the mechanical characteristics of the human neurocranium considering the role of individual layers

Abstract The site-dependent load-deformation behavior of the human neurocranium and the load dissipation within the three-layered composite is not well understood. This study mechanically investigated 257 human frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital neurocranial bone samples at an age range of 2...
