Modal Analysis of Cranium via Experimental and Numerical Approaches

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the modal analysis of the cranium (also the Latin term for the human skull) using both experimental and numerical approaches.The primary objective is to determine the natural frequencies and modal shapes of the cranium, which characterize its dynamic behavior under various conditions.Understanding these properties is essential in fields such as biomechanics and forensic science, as well as medical applications, including surgical planning and trauma analysis.The study details the methodology for conducting experimental measurements and numerical simulations, highlighting the techniques used to capture the cranium's vibrational characteristics.Additionally, the paper discusses the equipment and software employed in the analysis, ensuring accuracy and reliability in the obtained results.By combining experimental data with computational models, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the biomechanical properties of the human cranium.
