A combined experimental and numerical study of stab-penetration forces
(Elsevier, 2013-12)The magnitude of force used in a stabbing incident can be difficult to quantify, although the estimate given by forensic pathologists is often seen as 'critical' evidence in medico-legal situations. The main objective of ... -
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, ... -
Influence of preservation temperature on the measured mechanical properties of brain tissue
(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 ...
