    • Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in simple shear at dynamic strain rates 

      Rashid, Badar; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (Elsevier, 2013-12)
      During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a rapid and complex deformation, which can be seen as a mixture of compression, tension and shear. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) occurs in animals and humans when ...

    • Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in tension at dynamic strain rates 

      Rashid, B,Destrade, M,Gilchrist, MD; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (Elsevier, 2012-09-10)
      Mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is crucial for modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences compression, tension and shear. Limited ...

    • Non-linear anisotropic mechanical behaviour of hard and soft tissues 

      Nolan, David Robert (2015-09-30)
      The overall objective of this thesis is to develop accurate and rigorous constitutive formulations for the non-linear anisotropic behaviour of soft tissue (arterial) and hard tissues (trabecular bone) at large strains. The ...

    • Strain rate effects on the failure characteristics of excised human skin 

      Destrade, Michel (The 9th International Conference on the Mechanics of Time Dependent Materials, 2014)
      Skin is a complex, multi-layered material which exhibits non-linear, anisotropic and viscoelastic behaviour. Its structure is complex and can be broadly divided into three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and ...
