2018-10-23
The dynamics of a fully nonlinear, tree-structured resonator and its response to a broadband forcing of the branches is examined. It is shown that the broadband forcing yields a transfer of energy between the parts of the spectrum so that the spectrum becomes progressively more narrow-band for...

FEM Simulation of Non-Progressive Growth from Asymmetric Loading and Vicious Cycle Theory: Scoliosis Study Proof of Concept
Download2010
Fok, Jonathan W., Carey, Jason P., Adeeb, Samer
Scoliosis affects about 1-3% of the adolescent population, with 80% of cases being idiopathic. There is currently a lack of understanding regarding the biomechanics of scoliosis, current treatment methods can be further improved with a greater understanding of scoliosis growth patterns. The...

Petel, Oren E., Hogan, James D.
In the present study, ejecta dynamics techniques are used to investigate the ballistic response of shear thickening particle suspensions as a means of assessing the particle hardness and the role of interparticle friction during penetration. Through particle material variations, the role of...

Carey, Jason P., Evans, Katherine R.
A tubular braided composite bone cast for improving the efficiency and quality of bone fracture treatment is investigated. Finite element analysis was used to evaluate stress concentrations in fracture sites supported with plate and tubular casts. The stress in a plated bone is 768 % of that in a...

Ramesh, K. , Plescia, J.B., Hogan, J.D., Mir, C.E.
Improvements in computational and analytical modelling of large-scale impact and catastrophic disruption events will come from a better understanding of the failure processes that are active during high strain-rate events. In this study we investigate the dynamic compressive failure and...

Evaluation and prediction of the tensile properties of continuous fiber-reinforced 3D printed structures composite structures
Download2016
Carey, Jason P., Melenka, Garrett W., Schofield, Jonathon, Dawson, Michael R., Cheung, Benjamin O.
Three dimensional (3D) printing is a technique conventionally used to manufacture prototypes. Commercial desktop 3D printers have become available which produce functional 3D printed parts. The MarkOne by Mark Forged manufactures printed structures reinforced with continuous Carbon, Fiberglass or...

Computational Analysis of Gas Transport in Fuel Cell Catalyst Layer under Dry and Partially Saturated Conditions
Download2019-01-01
Sabharwal, M., Pant, L. M., Patel, N., Secanell, Marc
A computational study is performed to analyze oxygen transport in dry and wet stochastically reconstructed catalyst layers (CLs). CL stochastic reconstructions are generated using random penetrating spheres of a given particle size that agree with the statistical correlation functions of a...

A comparative study between optimal metal and composite rotors for flywheel energy storage systems
Download2018-01-01
Most recent research on flywheel rotors has focused on high-speed composite rotors as the storage element of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Literature research indicates that this is primarily due to the high specific energy of composites compared to metals. However, a quantitative...
