N2  - In the study, developed were two-dimensional finite element models for three coronal sections of the porcine brain and the results were compared with injury data from animal experiments performed at the University of Pennsylvania. The models consisted of a three-layered skull, dura, CSF, white matter, gray matter and ventricles. The maximum shear stress distribution produced from the models was found to be in good agreement with experimental findings. Diffuse axonal injury as indicated by the experiments was found in areas of high shear stress which persisted for relatively longer periods during the impact.<p />
