Static compression tests were undertaken on 40 human skulls while still covered by tissue. The compression tests were performed on the median sagittal part of the calotte. It was found that the skull, like the tubular bones, is fully elastic. Dissection revealed considerably more fractures, particularly in the basal region, than were shown on x-ray pictures (50%). With regard to the mechanisms of fracture, Fig. 2 shows that fractures occur only while the last third of the load is being applied. The following parameters were determined: maximum stress upon fracture, strain, elongation, elasticity module and elasticity coefficient.
对40个仍覆盖着组织的人类头骨进行了静态压缩测试。压缩测试在颅盖的正中矢状部分进行。结果发现，头骨与管状骨一样，具有完全弹性。解剖显示骨折数量比X光片显示的（50%）多得多，尤其是在基底区域。关于骨折机制，图2显示骨折仅在施加最后三分之一载荷时发生。测定了以下参数：骨折时的最大应力、应变、伸长率、弹性模量和弹性系数。
