Experimental and Analytical Investigation of the Cavity Expansion Method for Mechanical Characterization of Soft Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2016-03-17)In biomedical engineering, the mechanical properties of biological tissues are commonly determined by using conventional methods such as tensile stretching, confined and unconfined compression, indentation and elastography. ... -
Importance of asymmetry and anisotropy in predicting cortical bone response and fracture using human body model femur in three-point bending and axial rotation
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Modeling of cortical bone response and failure is critical for the prediction of Crash Induced Injuries (CII) using advanced finite element (FE) Human Body Models (HBM). Although cortical bone is anisotropic and asymmetric ... -
A Numerical Side Impact Model to Investigate Thoracic Injury in Lateral Impact Scenarios
(University of Waterloo, 2009-04-27)Although there have been tremendous improvements in crash safety there has been an increasing trend in side impact fatalities, rising from 30% to 37% of total fatalities from 1975 to 2004 (NHTSA, 2004). Between 1979 and ...
