Heterogenous Lung Model for Blunt Impact Loads Using Strain Rate-Dependent Material Properties of Parenchyma and Bronchi.

This study aids in the development of a heterogeneous lung model for automobile crashes and blunt trauma. Existing finite element models of the lung tissue are modeled as homogeneous and consider only the parenchyma while ignoring the bronchi. Though…
