Brain tissue biomechanics : new tissue phantoms, mechanical characterisation and modelling strategies for enhanced surgical procedure

This thesis aims to clarify some standing issues in the available mechanical knowledge of the human brain. An extensive experimental campaign has been carried out aiming at unravelling the mechanical properties of brain tissue. The outcomes include stiffness, relaxation, permeability and storage and...
