The Influence of the Specimen Shape and Loading Conditions on the Parameter Identification of a Viscoelastic Brain Model
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
The mechanical properties of brain under various loadings have been reported in the literature over the past 50 years. Step-and-hold tests have often been employed to characterize viscoelastic and nonlinear behavior of ...
Piecewise-Constant-Model-Based Interior Tomography Applied to Dentin Tubules
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Dentin is a hierarchically structured biomineralized composite material, and dentin's tubules are difficult to study in situ. Nano-CT provides the requisite resolution, but the field of view typically contains only a few ...
Comparison of Organ Location, Morphology, and Rib Coverage of a Midsized Male in the Supine and Seated Positions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
The location and morphology of abdominal organs due to postural changes have implications in the prediction of trauma via computational models. The purpose of this study is to use data from a multimodality image set to ...
Brain Injury Prediction: Assessing the Combined Probability of Concussion Using Linear and Rotational Head Acceleration
(BMES, 2013-05)
Recent research has suggested possible long term effects due to repetitive concussions, highlighting the importance of developing methods to accurately quantify concussion risk. This study introduces a new injury metric, ...
