Biomechanical response of the human brain to low-intensity blast: a finite element study of single and repeated exposures

2026-07-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Repetitive low-intensity blast (LIB) exposure has been identified as a probable cause of mild blast-induced traumatic brain injury (mbTBI) and a chronic injury risk to U.S. military personnel. However, the human brain’s biomechanical response to this loading regime remains poorly characterized. Using blast-exposure-validated 3D models of human anatomy, we simulated the intracranial tissue respon...
