Paper reporting model for rate dependent cerebral vasculature published

Congratulations to Noah for getting his paper entitled “A strain-rate dependent constitutive model for Göttingen minipig cerebral arteries” published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering! This paper shows that Göttingen minipig cerebral arteries are rate dependent and proposes a model for use in computational models of head injury that account for the vasculature. See the publications...
