    • 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, ...

    • Measuring the linear and nonlinear elastic properties of brain tissue with shear waves and inverse analysis 

      Jiang, Yi; Li, Guoyang; Qian, Lin-Xue; Liang, Si; Destrade, Michel; Cao, Yanping (Springer, 2015-02-20)
      We use supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) technique to measure not only the linear but also the nonlinear elastic properties of brain matter. Here, we tested six porcine brains ex vivo and measured the velocities of the ...
