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 ... -
Influence of preservation temperature on the measured mechanical properties of brain tissue
Rashid, Badar; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (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
Rashid, Badar; Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (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 ...
