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.
