Spring 2018
This thesis explores the effect of fluid substitution, pore-pressure diffusion and stresses due to hydraulic fracturing on the elastic velocities and microcrack orientations in the surrounding rock. I develop a workflow incorporating three main components to model the velocity field around the...

With a growing elderly population, osteoporotic pelvic fractures have been an increasingly common worldwide problem. Due to the complexity of the human pelvis, difficulties exist in the diagnosis of subtle fractures and complications may arise from standard treatments. Guidelines for approaching...

Lo, Calvin, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.
We investigated the uniaxial compressive behavior of damaged and intact alumina using quantitative X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis coupled with digital image correlation (DIC) for mechanical characterization. Internal three-dimensional crack characteristics such as crack surface area and...

In the province of Alberta a huge amount of energy is needed for diverse applications. Specifically, the demand for heat is limited to a few locations such as the oil sands operation regions and metropolitan areas. Oil sands processing facilities near Fort McMurray and direct heat provision for...

An ever increasing demand to exploit oil and natural gas reserves has significantly increased extraction activities even in the remotest regions of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of the Canadian North. Steel pipelines are the most efficient mode for transporting and distributing these...

Genesis and controls on mineralization at the Hammer Zone silver showing, Mount Mye Trend, hosted by the Anvil Batholith, South-Central Yukon
DownloadFall 2017
When Silver Range resources acquired the Keg property in 2010, one of the prospects included was the Hammer Zone. Ensuing mapping and surface sampling found the Hammer Zone to be a small, bonanza-grade, epithermal silver system contained entirely within the Anvil Batholith. Initial petrographic...

Impact Failure of Planetary Materials: Lateral Field Ejecta Measurements using Particle Image Velocimetry
Download2014
Schneider, Markus, Spray, John, Rogers, Robert, Hogan, James, Vincent, Gregory
The dynamic fragmentation of a fine grained granitoid material has been examined. Target thicknesses ranged from 7 to 40 mm and impact energies from 12 to 2,500 J. Combined particle image velocimetry and image enhancement techniques are introduced and have been used to measure the size and...

Farbaniec, Lukasz, Chapman, David J., Patten, Jack R.W., Smith, Liam C., Hogan, James D., Rack, Alexander, Eakins, Daniel
The relationship between the dynamic mechanical properties of stony meteorites and their microstructures was investigated in-situ for an L-type ordinary chondrite using a split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus and ultra-high speed phase-contrast X-ray radiography at the European Synchrotron...

The pelvic bone is one of most stressed bones in the human body due to its essential task of weight-bearing of upper body. However, pelvic bone fractures usually occur as a result of high-rate impact loads, high cycle with low magnitude (e.g., stress fractures) or bone diseases such as pelvic...

On the evaluation of mechanical properties and ballistic performance of two variants of boron carbide
Download2021-06-01
Lo, Calvin, Li, Haoyang, Toussaint, Geneviève, Hogan, James D.
A comparative study on the microstructure, rate-dependent compressive behavior, and ballistic performance of commercially available pressureless sintered boron carbide-titanium diboride (material Z) and hot-pressed boron carbide (material S) was conducted. Under quasi-static compression at rates...
