Abstract

In the present work, the effect of trauma impacts on the cranium and the influence of cranial brain fluid on the walls of the cranial vault are analyzed. Using experimental methods (photoelasticity and image correlation), as well as numerical methods with ANSYS Mechanical APDL®, the results were studied in order to know the mechanical behavior in the surface of the cranial vault in which the cranial plates for replacement or reconstructive surgery for injuries by trauma (third degree) are required. Also, it would be considered as an economic and capable option for prosthesis which only considers titanium and stainless steel as material for the replacement.
