Experimental and numerical characterisation of the elasto-plastic properties of bovine trabecular bone and a trabecular bone analogue
(2012)The inelastic pressure dependent compressive behaviour of bovine trabecular bone is investigated through experimental and computational analysis. Two loading configurations are implemented, uniaxial and confined compression, ... -
Extreme softness of brain matter in simple shear
(Elsevier, 2015-03-13)We show that porcine brain matter can be modelled accurately as a very soft rubber-like material using the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function, up to strains as high as 60%. This result followed from simple shear experiments ...
