Strain rate effects on the failure characteristics of excised human skin
(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 ...
Hyperelastic and viscoelastic properties of brain tissue in tension
(ASME, 2012)
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is particularly important for modelling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a mixture of compression, ...
Experimental characterisation of neural tissue at collision speeds
(International Research Council on Biomechanics of Injury (IRCOBI), 2012)
Mechanical characterisation of brain tissue at high loading velocities is particularly important for modelling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a mixture of compression, ...
Mechanical properties of excised human skin
(Springer Verlag, 2010)
In this study we have investigated in influence of
location, gender and orientation on the deformation characteristics
of 55 samples of human excised skin. Uniaxial tensile
tests were carried out at a strain rate of ...
