Computational simulations of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are commonly used to advance
understanding of the injury–pathology relationship, tissue damage thresholds, and design of …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting from either impact-or nonimpact blast-related
mechanisms, is a devastating cause of death and disability. The cerebral blood vessels …

Blood vessels are much stiffer than brain parenchyma and their effects in finite element (FE)
brain models need to be investigated. Despite the publication of some comprehensive three …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), particularly from explosive blasts, is a major cause of casualties
in modern military conflicts. Computational models are an important tool in understanding …

Early stage cerebral aneurysms are characterized by the disruption of the internal elastic
lamina. The cause of this breakdown is still not understood, but it has been conjectured to be …

Mechanical properties of brain tissue characterized in high-rate loading regime are
indispensable for the analysis of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, data on such …

Rapid flexion and extension of the neck may occur during scenarios associated with
traumatic brain injury (TBI), and understanding the mechanical response of the common …

The paper aims at evaluation of mechanical tests of soft tissues and creation of their
representative stress–strain responses and respective constitutive models. Interpretation of …

Development of a closed circulatory system requires that large arteries adapt to the
mechanical demands of high, pulsatile pressure. Elastin and collagen uniquely address …

Linking head kinematics to injury risk has been the focus of numerous brain injury criteria.
Although many early forms were developed using mechanics principles, recent criteria have …
