Abstract: The dynamics of inertial head impact and its interaction with brain is highly complex and a matter of continuing research and debate [1-6]. Finite Element Analysis of head impacts and their relation to Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) have been performed using anatomic brain models. This paper provides a high-level perspective on the head movement and the resulting forces on the brain due to a direct blunt impact. A simplified model is used to derive closed form formulas and find forces acting on the brain and the expected areas prone to injury.
