Beginning in the 1960s many studies have been performed to investigate the mechanical
properties of brain. In this paper we point out the difficulties linked with in vitro experimental …

With the contribution from more than one hundred CNS neurotrauma experts, this book
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account on the latest developments in the area of …

OBJECTIVE: Brain responses from concussive impacts in National Football League football
games were simulated by finite element analysis using a detailed anatomic model of the …

Sports-related concussion is a major public health problem in the United States and yet its
biomechanical mechanisms remain unclear. In vitro studies demonstrate axonal elongation …

The dynamic behavior of porcine brain tissue, obtained from a series of in vitro observations
and experiments, is analyzed and described here with the aid of a large strain, nonlinear …

Blast waves generated by improvised explosive devices can cause mild, moderate to severe
traumatic brain injury in soldiers and civilians. To understand the interactions of blast waves …

The mechanical characterization of brain tissue is a complex task that scientists have tried to
accomplish for over 50 years. The results in the literature often differ by orders of magnitude …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health burden, and the development of
advanced countermeasures to mitigate and prevent these injuries during automotive, sports …

This research aims at improving the definition of the shear linear material properties of brain
tissue. A comparison between human and porcine white and gray matter samples was …

Finite element modelling has been used to study the evolution of strain in a model of the
human brain under impulsive acceleration loadings. A cumulative damage measure, based …
