A comprehensive, geometrically accurate, nonlinear FE model of head and cervical spine wad developed with geometrical data based on the actual geometry of a 68 year-old ale cadaver specimen. Validation of the FE model was conducted under static physiological loading, near vertex drop test, and whipl...
