A. Charalambopoulos et al., THE EFFECT OF GEOMETRY ON THE DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HUMAN SKULL, International journal of engineering science, 36(9), 1998, pp. 1047-1060
In the present work we discuss the role of small deviation of the sphe
rical to spheroidal geometry on the frequency spectrum of the human dr
y-skull. The analysis is based on the three dimensional theory of elas
ticity, complex analysis techniques and the construction of the Navier
eigenvectors for the problem under discussion. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scie
