Force Effect of Strike and the Possibility of Causing a Skull Fracture of a Human Head a Skull Fracture of a Human Head
Abstract
First, the article describes the force strike measurement of an athlete who performs competitively combat sports. Second, there are the results of scientific studies that deal with the human head injuries due to impacts of various kinds.
These results were determined on the carcasses. During the actual measurement were determined time courses of forces impinging on the dynamometer plate, including size and the direction of the force.
Dynamometer spanned forces up to 10000 N, frequency was set up at 1000 Hz, the accuracy of the estimate was 0.5 % of measured value. A composite plate was attached to a dynamometer which has a special steel construction.
If we compare the results of force effect, we can find out that combat sports can cause fractures of the facial bones or other injuries of a human head or cervical vertebrae.
