Characterization and microstructure-based modeling of spot weld failure in hot stamped steel
(University of Waterloo, 2022-02-08)The performance of automotive safety components in a crash event depends on the mechanical properties of the sheet metal as well as the failure behavior of the spot welds that are used for sheet metal assembly. Unlike many ... -
Insight into Quantitation of Solid-phase Microextraction
(University of Waterloo, 2016-07-21)Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a well-known sampling and sample preparation technique used for a wide variety of analytical applications. As there are various complex processes taking place at the time of extraction ... -
A novel deflection shape function for rectangular capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer diaphragms
(Elsevier, 2015-07-15)A highly accurate analytical deflection shape function that describes the deflection profiles of capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) with rectangular membranes under electrostatic pressure has been ... -
Phenomenological Modeling of Sheet Moulding Compound Composites Under Quasi-Static Three-Point Bending
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-19)A phenomenological model is implemented to model the behaviour of a glass fiber reinforced sheet moulding composite material. Previous characterization of SMC composites, which included the tensile, compressive, in-plane ... -
Seismic Performance Assessment of Multi-Storey Buildings with Cold Formed Steel Shear Wall Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2007-05-22)Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) is a material used in the fabrication of structural and non-structural elements for the construction of commercial and residential buildings. CFS exhibits several advantages over other construction ... -
Thermal Management in Laminated Die Systems Using Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-08)The thermal control of a die is crucial for the development of high efficiency injection moulds. For successful thermal management, this research provides an effective control strategy to find sensor locations, identify ...
