Field evaluation of a wearable instrumented headband designed for measuring head kinematics
Anu Tripathi, Yang Wan, Zhiren Zhu +11
Purpose: To study the relationship between soccer heading and the risk of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), we previously developed an instrumented headband and data processing s…
Determining the acceleration field of a rigid body using three accelerometers and one gyroscope, with applications in mild traumatic brain injury
Yang Wan, Benjamin E. Grossman-Ponemona, Haneesh Kesari
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often results from violent head motion or impact. Most prevention strategies explicitly or implicitly rely on motion- or deformation-based injury…
Approximating a matrix as the square of a skew-symmetric matrix, with application to estimating angular velocity from acceleration data
Yang Wan, Benjamin E. Grossman-Ponemona, Haneesh Kesari
In this paper we study the problem of finding the best approximation of a real square matrix by a matrix that can be represented as the square of a real, skew-symmetric matrix. Thi…
Cracking in polymer substrates for flexible devices and its mitigation
Anush Ranka, Madhuja Layek, Sayaka Kochiyama +11
Mechanical reliability plays an outsized role in determining the durability of flexible electronic devices because of the significant mechanical stresses they can experience during…
Laboratory evaluation of a wearable instrumented headband for rotational head kinematics measurement
Anu Tripathi, Yang Wan, Sushant Malave +8
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) are a highly prevalent condition with heterogeneous outcomes between individuals. A key factor governing brain tissue deformation and the risk…
The mechanics of the squash nick shot
Mithun Ravisankar, Madeline Federle, Mina Bahadori +3
Squash is a widely popular racket sport, practiced by millions of people worldwide, played inside a walled court. When played well, players can last for several minutes before the…
Non-classical scaling of strength with size in marine biological fibers
Sayaka Kochiyama, Haneesh Kesari
Intriguing physical phenomena observed in natural materials have inspired the development of several engineering materials with dramatically improved performance. Marine sponge gla…
A mechanics theory for the exploration of a high-throughput, sterile 3D traumatic brain injury model
Yang Wan, Rafael D. González-Cruz, Diane Hoffman-Kim +1
Brain injuries resulting from mechanical trauma represent an ongoing global public health issue. Several and models for traumatic brain injur…
Functional significance of lamellar architecture in marine sponge fibers: conditions for when splitting a cylindrical tube into an assembly of tubes will decrease its bending stiffness
Sayaka Kochiyama, Benjamin Grossman-Ponemon, Haneesh Kesari
Numerous ingenious engineering designs and devices have been the product of bio-inspiration. Bone, nacre, and other such stiff structural biological materials (SSBMs) are composite…
A finite rotation, small strain 2D elastic head model, with applications in mild traumatic brain injury
Yang Wan, Wenqiang Fang, Rika Wright Carlsen +1
Rotational head motions have been shown to play a key role in traumatic brain injury. There is great interest in developing methods to rapidly predict brain tissue strains and stra…
Determining rigid body motion from accelerometer data through the square-root of a negative semi-definite tensor, with applications in mild traumatic brain injury
Yang Wan, Alice Lux Fawzi, Haneesh Kesari
Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) are caused by violent head motions or impacts. Most mTBI prevention strategies explicitly or implicitly rely on a "brain injury criterion". A b…
Angle-independent optimal adhesion in plane peeling of thin elastic films at large surface roughnesses
Weilin Deng, Haneesh Kesari
Adhesive peeling of a thin elastic film from a substrate is a classic problem in mechanics. However, many of the investigations on this topic to date have focused on peeling from s…
An accelerometer-only algorithm for determining the acceleration field of a rigid body, with application in studying the mechanics of mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Mohammad Masiur Rahaman, Wenqiang Fang, Alice Lux Fawzi +2
We present an algorithm for determining the acceleration field of a rigid body using measurements from four tri-axial accelerometers. The acceleration field is an important quantit…
Depth-dependent hysteresis in adhesive elastic contacts at large surface roughness
Weilin Deng, Haneesh Kesari
Contact force--indentation depth measurements in contact experiments involving compliant materials, such as polymers and gels, show a hysteresis loop whose size depends on the maxi…
