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....

Spring 2022
Numerical simulation and hybrid simulation are extensively used in earthquake engineering to evaluate the seismic response of structures under seismic loading. Despite the advances in computing power and the development of efficient integration algorithms in the past, numerical simulation...

Development of a Detailed Finite Element Model of the BIPED and Verification of Fidelity in Two Cases of Blunt Impact
DownloadFall 2023
Physical surrogates of the human head are commonly used to model cranial impacts and assess head injuries. The Brain Injury Protection Evaluation Device (BIPED mk2) is a head form that contains a brain simulant, fluid layer, connective membranes, a skull, and a skin layer and can measure...

Shear Strength of Partially Grouted (PG) Masonry Shear Walls: Experimental and Analytical Studies
DownloadFall 2023
When subjected to in-plane loads, the shear behaviour of partially grouted (PG) masonry shear walls is complex due to the heterogeneous and anisotropic nature of the masonry materials and the nonlinear interactions among their constituents. For instance, insufficient shear strength will lead to a...

Fall 2024
Numerical simulation is extensively used in advanced analysis of structures under seismic loading. Even though computational power and solution algorithms have advanced over the years, response evaluation of complex structures using numerical methods can still be challenging due to high...
