… those conditions were comparable (Table 6) considering the different species and
experimental equipment and techniques used (note that although the study by Fiford and Bilston …

The upper airway is a complex, multifunctional, dynamic neuromechanical system. Its
patency during breathing requires moment-to-moment coordination of neural and mechanical …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non‐invasive imaging technique used to visualise
and quantify mechanical properties of tissue, providing information beyond what can be …

The ability to measure and quantify the properties of skeletal muscle in vivo as a method for
understanding its complex physiological and pathophysiological behavior is important in …

The response of spinal cord tissue to mechanical loadings is not well understood. In this
study, isolated fresh cervical spinal cord samples were obtained from cadavers at autopsy and …

It has long been assumed that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a newtonian fluid with viscosity
similar to water, yet high protein content, has been postulated to increase the viscosity of CSF …

In this paper, some experimental measurements of the behaviour of bovine brain tissue under
large shear strains in vitro are reported, and a constitutive model which is consistent with …

The porous properties of brain tissue are important for understanding normal and abnormal
cerebrospinal fluid flow in the brain. In this study, a poroviscoelastic model was fitted to the …

We report the results from a series of rheological tests of fresh bovine brain tissue. Using a
standard Bohlin VOR shear rheometer, shear relaxation and oscillating strain sweep …

Biomechanical properties of the human tongue are needed for finite element models of the
upper airway and may be important to elucidate the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep …
