Special Issue on Injury and Damage Mechanics for Biological Structures
Journal of Engineering and Science in Medical Diagnostics and Therapy
Submit Paper
The focus of the issue will be studies of the effect of various internal and external agents (e.g., trauma, sports, accidents, surgery, disease, ballistics, and blasts) that can cause the injuries and damages to the tissues utilizing analytical models, numerical simulations, experimental methods, imaging techniques, as well as clinical and preclinical approaches. Also of interest are artificial intelligence and data science approaches aimed at understanding injury biomechanics.
This special issue is intended to be a collection of the latest updates on the research in injury and damage to biological structures, and their prediction, mitigation, and protection.
Topic Areas
THE SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:- Injury and trauma due to falls, collisions, blunt impacts, ballistic impacts, explosive overpressure, hypoxia, and their combinations
- Integration of computational modeling and/or experimental data analysis with clinical and preclinical assessment of tissue and organ injuries
- Multiphysics and/or multiscale computational modeling, experimentation and analysis of injury and tissue damage
- Novel imaging and other clinical techniques to diagnose, assess, and quantify extent of tissue and organ damage, including mild (sub-concussive) to moderate traumatic brain injury
- Advanced 3D characterization, measurement and testing tools, and surrogate systems
- Quantification and analysis of environmental conditions that can cause organ and tissue damage
