RISAnimal Orientation Affects Brain Biomechanical Responses to Blast-Wave Exposure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, we investigated how animal orientation within a shock tube influences the biomechanical responses of the brain and cerebral vasculature of a rat when exposed to a blast wave. Using three-dimensional finite ...
A Strain Rate-Dependent Constitutive Model for Göttingen Minipig Cerebral Arteries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Computational simulations of traumatic brain injury (TBI) are commonly used to advance understanding of the injury–pathology relationship, tissue damage thresholds, and design of protective equipment such as helmets. Both ...
Influence of Material Model and Aortic Root Motion in Finite Element Analysis of Two Exemplary Cases of Proximal Aortic Dissection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The risk of type-A dissection is increased in subjects with connective tissue disorders and dilatation of the proximal aorta. The location and extents of vessel wall tears in these patients could be potentially missed ...
Rate- and Region-Dependent Mechanical Properties of Göttingen Minipig Brain Tissue in Simple Shear and Unconfined Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: 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 the underlying biomechanics of TBI ...
