SP - EP - VL - 35 IS - N2 - The objective of the study was to determine the role of acceleration-deceleration pulses on brain strains in lateral impact. A coronal plane finite element model was developed and validated with experimental temporal motion and strain data from literature. Parametric studies were conducted by applying acceleration, deceleration, or combined acceleration-deceleration pulses with varying separating time intervals. Temporal principal strains were obtained at the corpus callosum, base of post-central sulcus, and cerebral cortex of the parietal lobe regions. Results indicated region- and pulse-specific responses to angular accelerations and separating time intervals.
