An examination of the design of mathematical models incorporating both microstructural and surface effects in anti-plane deformations
DownloadSpring 2015
Micropolar theory and surface mechanics are rapidly becoming key tools in the development of more advanced models which can precisely describe the behavior of deformable elastic solids. Renewed interest in these areas has arisen due to the desire of researchers to generalize continuum-based...

In the development of a numerical model for the water cycle on Mars, adsorption of water vapour in the Martian regolith acts as a significant sink and retards the transport of mass. Adsorption on Mars cannot be studied directly, so a numerical model was created, and a diffusion sorption...

An impact force transducer for anthropomorphic test dummy headforms: Application to study effects of external helmet accessories on biomechanical measures of head injury risk
DownloadFall 2015
The first half of this thesis describes the mechanical design, calibration and validation of an in-fibre Bragg grating based impact transducer. The transducer comprises an in-fibre Bragg grating fixed to an aluminum superstructure (12 mm in diameter, 3 mm thickness) designed to withstand typical...

An Integrated Approach for Sustainability Assessment: The Wa-Pa-Su Project Sustainability Rating System
DownloadFall 2014
As global demand for energy continues to rise, unconventional petroleum extraction and production of petroleum substitutes are both becoming more necessary. Development and operation of unconventional oil projects can have considerable social, economic, and environmental impacts. For example, one...
