Abstract:In this paper, wave propagation in head generated by a local axisymmetric impact on its outer surface is studied. The skull material is treated as isotropic and homogeneous, but presence of the cerebrospinal fluid (considered as a compressible but inviscid irrotational fluid) inside the cranium has been accounted for in the analysis. Some numerical results obtained on the basis of the analytical study, are also presented.
