| 摘要： | Blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) has become a ``signature wound'' of modern combat due to the expansive use of improvised explosive devices (IED). Over 60% of combat casualties haven been caused by explosive blasts from the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan [1]. The mechanisms that cause bTBI still remain poorly understood. The mechanisms of primary blast injury are thought to be both unique and mechanically very complex to characterize. With the purpose of understanding the mechanics of bTBI, biofidelic cranial phantoms based on organic gelatins were created. White and gray matter have been mimicked by tailoring the mechanical properties to match that of neural tissue with different weight concentrations of Polyacrylamide (PAA). |
