Simulating Global Motion of the Brain in Response to Trauma

This research constructs a three-dimensional (3D) topological model that comprehensively predicts the macroscopic movement of the brain within the skull [5]. The consideration of impact angles and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics highlights the unique forces of various injurious scenarios [1][6]. To accomplish these tasks, the project utilizes ANSYS LS-DYNA's finite element capabilities, which captures the nuanced interactions of the aforementioned factors derived through a series of differential equations. This holistic approach provides unprecedented insights into the brain's dynamic response to forces.
