  • Determination of a visco-hyperelastic material law based on dynamic tension test data

    The objective of this study was to determine the visco-hyperelastic constitutive law of brain tissue under dynamic impacts. A method combined by finite element simulations and optimization algorithm was employed for the determination of material variables. Firstly, finite element simulations of brain tissue dynamic uniaxial tension, with a maximum stretch rate of 1.3 and strain rates of 30 s–1 and 90 s–1, were developed referring to experimental data. Then, fitting errors between the engineering stress-strain curves predicted by simulations and experimental average curves were assigned as objective functions, and the multi-objective genetic algorithm was employed for the optimation solution. The results demonstrate that the brain tissue finite element models assigned with the novel obtained visco-hyperelastic material law could predict the brain tissue’s dynamic mechanical characteristic well at different loading rates. Meanwhile, the novel material law could also be applied in the human head finite element models for the improvement of the biofidelity under dynamic impact loadings.
