A new technique for curved rod bending tests based on digital image correlation
(2021-11-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBackground. The study of the deformation of curved rods subjected to bending and its associated stress state is a complex task that has not been treated in depth in the literature, which makes difficult to obtain constitutive ... -
Injury metrics for assessing the risk of acute subdural hematoma in traumatic events
(2021-12-17)
Article
Open AccessWorldwide, the ocurrence of acute subdural hematomas (ASDHs) in road traffic crashes is a major public health problem. ASDHs are usually produced by loss of structural integrity of one of the cerebral bridging veins (CBVs) ... -
Viscoelastic characterization of parasagittal bridging veins and implications for traumatic brain injury: a pilot study
(2021-10-18)
Article
Open AccessMany previous studies on the mechanical properties of Parasagittal Bridging Veins (PSBVs) found that strain rate had a significant effect on some mechanical properties, but did not extensively study the viscoelastic effects, ... -
A predictive model for fracture in human ribs based on in-vitro acoustic emission data
(2021-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPurpose The aim of this paper is to propose a fracture model for human ribs based on acoustic emission (AE) data. The accumulation of microcracking until a macroscopic crack is produced can be monitored by AE. The ... -
Mechanical behavior of blood vessels: elastic and viscoelastic contributions
(2021-08-26)
Article
Open AccessThe mechanical properties of the cerebral bridging veins (CBVs) were studied using advanced microtensile equipment. Detailed high-quality curves were obtained at different strain rates, showing a clearly nonlinear stress–strain ... -
Influence of anthopometric variables on the mechanical properties of human rib cortical bone
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2021-05-01)
Article
Open AccessObjective. The mechanical properties of ribs from a large number of post-mortem human subjects (PMHS) were analyzed to search for variation according to age, sex or BMI in the sample. A large sample of specimens from ... -
Prediction of mechanical properties of human rib cortical bone using fractal dimension
(Gordon and Breach Science Publishers, 2020-10-26)
Article
Open AccessA large number of post mortem human subjects was used to investigate the relation between the micro-structure of rib cortical bone and the mechanical properties using Fractal Dimension. Uniaxial tensile tests were performed ... -
Probabilistic assessment for clavicle fracture under compression loading: rate-dependent behavior
(2020-10)
Article
Open AccessPedestrians, motorcyclists, and occupants of vehicle involved in side impacts can suffer lateral impacts at the shoulder with sufficiently high forces to fracture the clavicle. While some previous studies have developed a ...
