Computational Modeling of Hard Tissue Response and Fracture in the Lower Cervical Spine under Compression Including Age Effects
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-21)Almost half of motor vehicle accident (MVAs) victims experience traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI), which are often associated with rollover accidents. Specifically, rollovers have the highest incidence rate of AIS2+ ... -
Experimental Characterization and Constitutive Modeling of AZ31B and ZEK100 Magnesium Alloys for Monotonic and Reverse Loading Paths
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-15)Finite element (FE) simulations are widely used in automotive design processes to model the forming behavior of sheet metals. Comprehensive material characterization and the availability of suitable constitutive models are ... -
Fatigue of Forged AZ80 Magnesium Alloy
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-25)The majority of research surrounding the fatigue of Mg alloys generally exhibits a rigid dichotomy between theoretical and applied contributions. This research work addresses both of these domains of the field from a more ... -
Modeling the Residual Stress Distribution and Experimental Characterization of Shot Peening on AZ31B Rolled Sheet
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-17)The drive to reduce fossil fuel consumption due to its environmental impacts has generated renewed interest in employing magnesium (Mg), the lightest industrial metal, and its alloys in vehicle manufacturing. One of the ...
