Development process of finite element models of human skull used in investigation of extreme stress state during a traffic accident. The procedures used in the development of the geometry of the skull from the series of computer tomography scans are shortly described and simplified FE-models presented. Results from a simple FE analysis using several models of different resolution are compared to estimate optimal number of degrees of freedom and to develop a numerically optimal model of human skull.
