    • Determination of friction coefficient in unconfined compression of brain tissue 

      Rashid, Badar; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael (Elsevier, 2012-10)
      Unconfined compression tests are more convenient to perform on cylindrical samples of brain tissue than tensile tests in order to estimate mechanical properties of the brain tissue because they allow for homogeneous ...

    • Extreme softness of brain matter in simple shear 

      Destrade, Michel; Murphy, J.G.; Gilchrist, M.; Rashid, J.G.; Saccomandi, Giuseppe (Elsevier, 2015-03-13)
      We show that porcine brain matter can be modelled accurately as a very soft rubber-like material using the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function, up to strains as high as 60%. This result followed from simple shear experiments ...
