Extrudable hydroxyapatite/plant oil-based biopolymer nanocomposites for biomedical applications: Mechanical testing and modeling
Bahmani, Aram; Comeau, Patricia A.; Montesano, John; Willett, Thomas L. (Elsevier, 2019-07-15)Towards developing bone-inspired, high performance composite biomaterials, two nanocomposite inks, consisting of a plant oil-based biopolymer resin (soybean oil epoxidized acrylate (SOEA)) and silanized nano-hydroxyapatite ... -
Modelling the micro-damage process zone during cortical bone fracture
Dapaah, Daniel; Badaoui, Raphael; Bahmani, Aram; Montesano, John; Willett, Thomas (Elsevier, 2020-02-01)Cortical bone employs intrinsic toughening mechanisms to delay crack growth initiation and propagation hence increasing its fracture toughness. Computational models of the bone fracture process though do not explicitly ... -
A new approach to rapidly generate random periodic representative volume elements for microstructural assessment of high volume fraction composites
Li, Geng; Sharifpour, Farzad; Bahmani, Aram; Montesano, John (Elsevier, 2018-07-15)An algorithm based on event-driven molecular dynamics theory was developed to rapidly generate periodic representative volume elements (RVEs) with nonuniform distributions for both unidirectional fibre-reinforced and ... -
Three-dimensional micromechanical assessment of bio-inspired composites with non-uniformly dispersed inclusions
Bahmani, Aram; Li, Geng; Willett, Thomas L; Montesano, John (Elsevier, 2019-03-15)Bio-inspired composites with hexagonal platelet and cylindrical inclusions were studied. A novel algorithm termed staggered hardcore algorithm (SHCA) was used to rapidly generate 3D periodic representative volume elements ...
