Biomechanical Dynamics of Cranial Sutures during Simulated Impulsive Loading

Background. Cranial sutures are deformable joints between the bones of the skull, bridged by collagen fibres. They function to hold the bones of the skull together while allowing for mechanical stress transmission and deformation. Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate how cranial sutur...
