Two
of Himanshu Saraf’s research papers, based on work done at The Johns
Hopkins University for his MS, have been published this year.
• "Mechanical Properties of Soft Human Tissues under Dynamic
Loading”, Journal of Biomechanics, Vol. 40,
Issue 9,
January 2007 (First Author)
• "Measurement of the Dynamic Bulk and Shear Response of Soft Human
Tissues", Experimental Mechanics,
