Spinal cord injury often results from a compressive load; however, the compression behavior
of spinal cord white matter has not been clearly established. Quantifying the compression …

The rostral-caudally aligned fiber-reinforced structure of spinal cord white matter (WM) gives
rise to transverse isotropy in the material. Stress and strain patterns generated in the spinal …

The aim of the study was to determine experimentally the stress as strain function as well as
the orthotropy and heterogeneity of porcine dura mater of the cervical spinal cord. Material …

To better understand the link between spinal cord impact and the resulting tissue damage,
computational models are often used. These models typically simulate the spinal cord as a …

Background The spinal meninges play a mechanical protective role for the spinal cord.
Better knowledge of the mechanical behavior of these tissues wrapping the cord is required …

Background Few studies exist on the mechanical properties of denticulate ligaments and
none report the variation in these properties at different levels of the spine. The aim of this …

The influence of mechanical load on the extent of nervous tissue damage in the spinal cord
at the time of trauma is presently incontestable. Although numerical modelling cannot fully …

Acute spinal cord injuries (SCI) have a global annual occurrence rate of 14 to 40 per million
population with considerable societal cost. The primary mechanism of injury involves …

OBJECTIVE Because of limitations inherent to cadaver models of endotracheal intubation,
the authors' group developed a finite element (FE) model of the human cervical spine and …

The perforated nature of nets makes it impossible to measure the thermal radiative
properties (emittance, ε n, transmittance, τ n, and reflectance, ρ n) correctly by using any …
