Traumatic brain injury in pedestrian–vehicle collisions: Convexity and suitability of some functionals used as injury metrics [PDF]
Background and Objective: Abrupt accelerations or decelerations can cause large strain in brain tissues and, consequently, different forms of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). In order to predict the effect of the accelerations upon the soft tissues of the
