Faculty from LSU Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Delaware, and Johns Hopkins University are collaborating on a project that may help us better understand how large and rapid mechanical forces deform the brain during events such as falls and car crashes. Having this understanding is critical to developing computer models for predicting brain injury, as well as designing safer personal protective equipment and brain injury management and prevention strategies.
