    • 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, ...

    • 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 compression at dynamic strain rates 

      Destrade, Michel; Gilchrist, Michael D. (Elsevier, 2012-03-02)
      Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when local mechanical load exceeds certain tolerance levels for brain tissue. Extensive research has been done previously for brain matter experiencing compression at quasistatic loading; ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...
