Analysis of Shaken Baby Syndrome

	Shaken baby syndrome is a form of head  trauma that affects the nervous system of infants under the age of 5.  This trauma is the result of  criminal abuse caused  by violent shaking of an infant’s head by thrusting the child back and forth by the chest or shoulders. Using finite element method, repeated infant shakings is simulated to analyze the head-brain structure.
