Effects of nerve bundle geometry on neurotrauma evaluation
(Wiley, 2018-06-16)
ObjectiveWe confirm that alteration of a neuron structure can induce abnormalities in signal propagation for nervous systems, as observed in brain damage. Here, we investigate the effects of geometrical changes and damage ...
Fine tuning the electro-mechanical response of dielectric elastomers
(AIP Publishing, 2018-10-16)
We propose a protocol to model accurately the electromechanical behavior of dielectric elastomer membranes using experimental data of stress-stretch and voltage-stretch tests. We show how the relationship between electric ...
On stress-dependent elastic moduli and wave speeds
(Oxford Journals, 2012-03-30)
On the basis of the general non-linear theory of a hyperelastic material with initial stress, initially without consideration of the origin of the initial stress, we determine explicit expressions for the stress-dependent ...
Electrothermal equivalent three-dimensional finite-element model of a single neuron
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-09-14)
Objective: We propose a novel approach for modelling the interdependence of electrical and mechanical phenomena in nervous cells, by using electrothermal equivalences in finite element (FE) analysis so that existing ...
Pattern evolution in bending dielectric-elastomeric bilayers
(Elsevier, 2019-07-24)
We propose theoretical and numerical analyses of smart bending deformation of a dielectric-elastic bilayer in response to a voltage, based on the nonlinear theory of electro-elasticity and the associated linearized incremental ...
Head-to-nerve analysis of electromechanical impairments of diffuse axonal injury
(Springer, 2018-11-14)
The aim was to investigate mechanical and functional failure of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in nerve bundles following frontal head impacts, by finite element simulations. Anatomical changes following traumatic brain injury ...
