    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Computational Mechanics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Understanding cranial vault dynamics is crucial for injury biomechanics and medical device design.
    • Previous models often simplified the complex material properties and layered structure of the skull.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the free-vibration characteristics of the cranial vault.
    • To investigate the impact of dissipative material behavior in the skull and brain.
    • To evaluate the influence of scalp mechanics on cranial vibration.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and analysis of two mathematical models for cranial vault vibration.
    • Model 1: Incorporates the layered structure (inner table, diploë, outer table) of the skull with a traction-free outer surface.
    • Model 2: Assumes a homogeneous skull but includes the mechanical effect of the scalp.

    Main Results:

    • Numerical computations demonstrate that dissipative material behavior significantly affects the cranial system's frequency spectrum.
    • Both skull and brain damping properties influence the vibration frequencies.
    • The mechanical influence of the scalp was found to be a significant factor in cranial vibration.

    Conclusions:

    • Dissipative properties of cranial tissues and scalp mechanics are critical factors in cranial vault vibration.
    • Accurate modeling of these factors is essential for understanding cranial dynamics and predicting responses to impact.
