Computational modeling of trabecular bone indentation and development of a new test method to perform unconstrained load-induced subsidence of an intervertebral body fusion device
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-24)Intervertebral body fusion devices (“interbody cages”) used in spinal surgeries are susceptible to axial and/or rotational subsidence into the underlying trabecular bone of the spinal vertebrae. Despite the variety of ... -
Design of Ultrasonic Processing Device for Aluminum Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-19)The work in this thesis examines the design possibility of a device capable of harnessing ultrasonic oscillations through resonance such that it can be applied onto an aluminum surface to produce a compressive residual ... -
Investigation of Transient Gas Dynamics from Laser-Energized Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-21)Soot is formed whenever the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels is incomplete. Since soot particles are very small, they can be inhaled and cause severe health problems, such as pulmonary diseases. They can also cause environmental ...
