  1. 16. Age–Related Perspectives on the Biomechanics of Traumatic Injury

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Silvia Pezzutti; [2017]
    Keywords : FE Model; Pediatric; Age; Injuries;

    Abstract : Finite element models have the potential to accurately represent the pediatric body, both from the anatomical and topological point of view. They can describe changes in size and shape as well as changes in the biomechanical properties. READ MORE

  3. 17. FE-Modelling and Material Characterization of Ice-Hockey Helmet

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Isotta Rigoni; [2017]
    Keywords : traumatic brain injury; ice-hockey; helmet; finite element;

    Abstract : The aim of this research was to produce a reliable finite element model of a helmet, that could be used to simulate approval tests as well as impacts to investigate the safety offered. A 2D and 3D mesh was generated from the CAD file of an Easton Synergy 380 with HyperWorks, and then checked referring to standard parameter values. READ MORE

  4. 18. Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Axonal Membrane in Traumatic Brain Injury

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Zohreh Alaei; [2017]
    Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; diffuse axonal injury; molecular simulation; axonal bilayer; strain; shear force; nano-scale deformation; lipid bilayer;

    Abstract : The following project presents in silico investigation of axonal damage in Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI). When axons face a shear force, orientation of the lipids in the axonal membrane gets disrupted. READ MORE

  5. 19. Finite Element Modeling of an Innovative Headband : A study about the headband design and its safety properties

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Giuliana Mozzi; [2017]
    Keywords : finite element; FEM; headband; innovative; modeling; safety;

    Abstract : One of the most recent challenges faced worldwide is the so-called “ageing population” phenomenon. Besides the disabilities and illnesses that the elderly is prone to, traumatic brain injuries represent a common and potentially fatal factor that greatly affects this population. READ MORE

  6. 20. The IL-33/ST2 pathway in CNS : Traumatic brain injury and brain tumour

    University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi

    Author : Xiaofei Li; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a dual function cytokine. It is a member of the IL-1 family and it acts as a pro-inflammatory factor (18 kilo Dalton, 18 kD) like other cytokines in IL-1 family. IL-33 is also a transcription factor (32 kD - form) which can suppress or activate gene transcription in diverse cases. READ MORE
