Abstract

In this thesis a comparative analysis of two new models of instrumented human head surrogate will be assessed. Both head surrogates are characterized by an high level of biofidelity, in fact the 3D model of the skull has been obtained from MRI scans, the surrogate brain produced in silicon rubber shows the partition in lobes and cerebellum and the presence of an oil simulates the cerebrospinal fluid. Both heads are equipped with accelerometers, gyroscopes and pressure sensors.
