Testing Dynamic Material Properties of Brain Arteries (A Preliminary Report),
Abstract
Freshly excised arteries of the brain obtained from human autopsy have been tested under dynamic loading conditions for the purpose of determining a suitable dynamic constitutive relation for the material. The results of these tests are to be used in the construction of improved mathematical and physical biodynamic models of the head for use in the Head Injury Program. Preliminary results show that the arteries display a nonlinear elastic behavior with no frequency dependent viscoelastic effects over the range of frequencies tested or under static loading. (Author)
