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 ...
Bimodular rubber buckles early in bending
(Elsevier, 2009-12-03)
A block of rubber eventually buckles under severe flexure, and several axial wrinkles appear on the inner curved face of the bent block. Experimental measurements reveal that the buckling occurs earlier - at lower compressive ...
