Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability, often damaging the brain's blood vessels which are crucial for its health.
- This study aimed to investigate how cerebral arteries respond to rapid trauma by testing rat middle cerebral arteries under high rates of deformation.
- Results showed that while the stiffness and failure stress of the vessels increased with the strain rate, the point of failure stretch remained consistent across different rates.
