Abstract
Tissue-level brain injury criteria are essential for analyzing brain injuries using finite element head models (FEHMs), but their consistency remains unclear. This study applied the data-driven method previously proposed for maximum principal strain (MPS) injury criterion to determine thresholds for von Mises stress (VMS), pressure, maximum shear stress (MSS), and the rate of MPS. It then assessed the consistency of these criteria in terms of injury status, injury location, and injury overlap rate in 18 impact simulations. The results showed that the MPS, VMS, and MSS criteria had strong consistency, enhancing the utility of FEHMs in clinical brain injury analysis.
期刊介绍:
The primary aims of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering are to provide a means of communicating the advances being made in the areas of biomechanics and biomedical engineering and to stimulate interest in the continually emerging computer based technologies which are being applied in these multidisciplinary subjects. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering will also provide a focus for the importance of integrating the disciplines of engineering with medical technology and clinical expertise. Such integration will have a major impact on health care in the future.
