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...

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...

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...

Surrogate headforms are employed in injury biomechanics to reconstruct head impact scenarios and evaluate protective equipment. The development of human calvarium surrogates to mimic mechanical response at fracture would be an essential step forward in improving the biomechanical biofidelity of...

Flow through an individual rock fracture is of fundamental importance in both experimental and numerical studies aimed at describing the hydraulic behavior of fracture networks or rock masses. A single fracture can exert dominance over fluid pathways, and the results obtained from individual...

Pelvic fractures are severe injuries that are associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity, especially in the elderly population. In severe cases of fracture, urgent surgical intervention may be required with the use of fixation plates to stabilize the fracture. The surgical planning...
