Abstract: Biomechanics is essentially the science that uses mechanical laws in studying biological structures such as muscles, ligaments, joints and other body structures. It is important in understanding the mechanism of injury to the cervical spine(C1-C7).We developed a mathematical approach to mechanical behavior of cervical vertebrae and inter-vertebral discs, in terms of laboratory testing. The paper presents the mathematical model based on Lagrange equations for a frontal impact testing craniocervical system. The steps for the solving these equations are exposed in the paper. These studies were combined with FEA and dynamic analysis for determination of constants, forces and functional relations. Results and conclusions are analyzed in the final.
