A 3D Continuum Finite Element Muscle Model for the Investigation of Cervical Spine Load-Sharing Mechanisms and Injury Assessment during Impact Loading Scenarios
DownloadFall 2018
The mechanical behavior of the individual cervical tissues as well as the head-neck complex kinematics plays a very important role in proper functioning of the cervical spine and is a key factor in more appropriate understanding of injury mechanism, prevention, detection, control and treatment....

2-D pore and core scale visualization and modeling of immiscible and miscible CO2 injection in fractured systems
DownloadFall 2009
Pore scale interaction between matrix and fracture during miscible and immiscible CO2 injection was studied experimentally using visual models. Initially, visualization experiments were conducted on 2-D glass bead packed models by injecting n-heptane (solvent) displacing different kinds of...

2-D modeling of freeze-up processes on the Athabasca River downstream of Fort McMurray, Alberta
DownloadSpring 2010
This study is part of a three year project aimed to assess the effects of industrial water withdrawals on the ice regime of the Athabasca River. A 2-D numerical model was used to provide quantitative data for this effort. Freeze-up monitoring was carried out over two years along 80-km of the...

Spring 2011
This study was part of the development of an ice jam flood forecasting system for Hay River, NWT. 2-D numerical models were used to simulate ice processes in an effort to predict ice jam formation. A summer survey was conducted to finalize the bathymetry of the Hay River Delta. Observations were...

Workflow for Sand Control Testing of Injection Wells in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD)
DownloadSpring 2020
This research aims at tackling a specific production engineering problem in sand retention testing (SRT). One common practice of operational oil companies is to prevent sanding by deploying standalone screens (SAS). SAS consists of slotted liners (SL), wire wrap screens (WWS), and punched screens...

Three-dimensional slope stability effects in the failure at the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility
DownloadFall 2020
On 4 August 2014, a breach occurred in the perimeter embankment at the Mount Polley Tailings Storage Facility in British Columbia, Canada, causing a spill of mining waste into the environment. The Government of British Columbia retained an Independent Review Panel (2015) to determine the cause of...

Residential construction manufacturing estimating framework: the case of lightweight timber framing
DownloadFall 2020
The term industrialized construction was adopted by the offsite construction industry where the building components are prefabricated in factories and then transported to the construction site for on-site assembly. With this shift towards industrialized construction, new challenges were...
