Influence of preservation temperature on the measured mechanical properties of brain tissue
(Elsevier, 2013-04-26)
The large variability in experimentally measured mechanical properties of brain tissue is due to many factors including heterogeneity, anisotropy, age dependence and post-mortem time. Moreover, differences in test protocols ...
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in simple shear at dynamic strain rates
(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
(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 ...
