Extreme softness of brain matter in simple shear
Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist, Jerry G. Murphy +2
We show that porcine brain matter can be modelled accurately as a very soft rubber-like material using the Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function, up to strains as high as 60\%. This…
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in simple shear at dynamic strain rates
Badar Rashid, Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist
During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experiences a rapid and complex deformation, which can be seen as a mixture of compression, tension and shear. Moreover, diffuse axona…
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue in tension at dynamic strain rates
Badar Rashid, Michel Destrade, Michael D. Gilchrist
Mechanical characterization of brain tissue at high loading velocities is crucial for modeling Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). During severe impact conditions, brain tissue experienc…
Influence of Preservation Temperature on the Measured Mechanical Properties of Brain Tissue
Badar Rashid, Michel Destrade, Michael Gilchrist
The large variability in experimentally measured mechanical properties of brain tissue is due to many factors including heterogeneity, anisotropy, age dependence and post-mortem ti…
Differences in tension and compression in the nonlinearly elastic bending of beams
Michel Destrade, Jerry G. Murphy, Badar Rashid
The classical flexure problem of non-linear incompressible elasticity is revisited for elastic materials whose mechanical response is different in tension and compression---the so-…
Determination of Friction Coefficient in Unconfined Compression of Brain Tissue
Badar Rashid, Michel Destrade, Michael Gilchrist
Unconfined compression tests are more convenient to perform on cylindrical samples of brain tissue than tensile tests in order to estimate mechanical properties of the brain tissue…
