Effects of Nucleus Size and Position on the Response of the Lumbar Functional Spinal Unit L4-L5 to Complex Loading: Finite Element Analysis
DownloadSpring 2018
The response of the lumbar spine to mechanical load, a major contributing factor in Low Back Pain (LBP), depends on the geometry of the spinal structures. As nucleus size and position vary among individuals, along the spine, and with aging, understanding the effects of inter-individual variation...

Finite Element-based Stress Intensity Factor Estimation for Fatigue Crack Growth Simulation and Stochastic Filtering-based Fatigue Crack Growth Prediction of Pipelines
DownloadSpring 2022
Fatigue cracking is one of the major integrity threats to oil and gas pipelines. Having a reliable trajectory of fatigue crack growth once detected is very crucial for decision making regarding integrity threat management. In-line Inspection (ILI) tools, and other non-destructive methods are used...

Numerical Study of Reservoir Geomechanical Pressuremeter Testing under Anisotropic In-situ Stresses
DownloadSpring 2016
The anisotropy of horizontal stresses in the saturated medium presents tremendous difficulties to the determination of in-situ rock properties especially when the formation is poorly overconsolidated. The application of reservoir geomechanical pressuremeter designed to pressurize the borehole at...
