A parametric study of the axisymmetric loading of an anisotropically elastic limb model by a tourniquet
The clinical use of tourniquets has an associated nerve palsy incidence rate of approximately 0.1%. The mechanism of damage is thought to be some form of mechanical deformation. No previous work, has quantified such a mechanism. In this work, an axially compressive damage mechanism is proposed and s...
