Deformation and force data for 22 isolated human cephalus (heads) subjected to single dynamic impact events, in a drop tower.

The spreadsheet contains two tabs.

The first tab "Deformation" contains Deformation data, in units of [mm]. The columns correspond to the specimens (IDs are given in the first line), and the second row indicates the nominal impact velocity.

The second tab "Force" contains axial force data, in units of [N]. The columns correspond to the specimens (IDs are given in the first line), and the second row indicates the nominal impact velocity.

Test protocol, specimen information, and data collection and post-processing details are provided in detail in the following manuscript:
