ABSTRACT
The study presented in this paper is focused on the analysis of biomechanical effects of
several impact forces exerted on the orbital skeleton. Three different cases of force application
reflecting three sport-related situations have been investigated. Time histories of the impact
force as well as area of its application have been considered. As a tool to carry out numerical
simulation, ANSYS Workbench software platform has been used. The analysis showed that
the most dangerous is the force applied to the lower part of orbital margin. In this case, the
entire zygomatic bone may be damaged due to strong bending load.
