Traumatic brain injuries, the leading cause of death and disability in children and young
adults, are the result of a rapid acceleration or impact of the head. In recent years, a global …

In this paper the human brain tissue constitutive model for monotonic loading is developed.
The model in this work is based on the anisotropic hyperelasticity assumption (the …

Brain tissue is one of the most complex and softest tissues in the human body. Due to its
ultrasoft and biphasic nature, it is difficult to control the deformation state during …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a recent focus of biomedical research with a
growing international effort targeting material characterization of brain tissue and …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Finite
