Characterizing and Modeling the Effects of Mode Mixity and Bond Line Thickness on the Traction-Separation Response of Structural Adhesive Joints
Watson, Brock (University of Waterloo, 2021-04-28)As adhesive bonding continues to become more prevalent in automotive structures, the need for high fidelity characterization and modelling of adhesive joints has gained in importance. In this thesis, new specimen geometry ... -
Evaluation of Thoracic Response in Side Impact Crash
Watson, Brock (University of Waterloo, 2010-11-29)Mitigating injury in side impact has been an important topic of research for decades. In the mid 1980’s the American government began a program intended to improve the crashworthiness of vehicles in side impact. This ... -
Importance of asymmetry and anisotropy in predicting cortical bone response and fracture using human body model femur in three-point bending and axial rotation
Khor, Fiona; Cronin, Duane S.; Watson, Brock; Gierczycka, Donata; Malcolm, Skye (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 ...
