The article reports on development 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. The finite element models will be used for evaluation of parameters that are necessary for protective helmet design.
