      Brain swelling is a serious condition associated with an accumulation of fluid inside the brain caused by trauma, stroke, infection, or tumors. It increases the pressure inside the skull and reduces blood and oxygen supply. ...
    • Finite element methods for the non-linear mechanics of crystalline sheets and nanotubes
