Mechanical Characterization and Modeling of the Porcine Cerebral Meninges

The cerebral meninges, made up of the dura, arachnoid, and pia mater, is a tri-layer membrane that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and has an important function in protecting the brain from injury. Understanding its mechanical behavior is important to ensure the accuracy of finite element (F...
