    • Accessing the cohomology of discrete groups above their virtual cohomological dimension 

      Rahm, Alexander D. (2014)
      We introduce a method to explicitly determine the Farrell-Tate cohomology of discrete groups. We apply this method to the Coxeter triangle and tetrahedral groups as well as to the Bianchi groups, i.e. PSL_2 over the ring ...

    • 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 ...

    • Experimental characterisation of neural tissue at collision speeds 

      Destrade, Michel; Rashid, Bader; Gilchrist, Michael (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, ...

    • Hyperelastic and viscoelastic properties of brain tissue in tension 

      Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (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, ...

    • Inhomogeneous deformation of brain tissue during tension tests 

      Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael (Elsevier, 2012)
      Mechanical characterization of brain tissue has been investigated extensively by various research groups over the past 50 years. These properties are particularly important for modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). ...

    • Temperature effects on brain tissue in compression 

      Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael (2012)
      Extensive research has been carried out for at least 50 years to understand the mechanical properties of brain tissue in order to understand the mechanisms of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The observed large variability ...
