[Notes on the use of applied mechanics in a possible interpretation of skull fractures].
Principles of applied mechanics dealing with the breakage of two-dimensional medium, flat or round surfaced bodies can be used in the interpretation of skull fractures. Qualitative assessment can be essentially based on Johansen's yielding lines. This offers a justification for the term "lamina vitrea" assigned by anatomists and surgeons to the inner table of the skull.
