Spatial And Temporal Deformation Pattern Of The Brain From Blunt Trauma, Abdus Ali
Spatial And Temporal Deformation Pattern Of The Brain From Blunt Trauma, Abdus Ali
Theses
It is widely accepted that under extreme loadings the soft tissue of the brain will deform inside the skull, creating large amounts of both stress and strain on the tissue. This can result in a focal injury, or in the case of acceleration and deceleration, diffuse injuries. Any attempt at understanding the underlying mechanisms and effects of TBI, have to start by focusing on what is actually occurring within the brain. The objective of this experiment is to record differences in the spatial and temporal patterns of deformation within the brain during blunt trauma when changing impact parameters. A linear …
