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 ... -
Metallic Multi-Material Adhesive Joint Testing and Modeling for Vehicle Lightweighting
Watson, Brock; Nandwani, Yogesh; Worswick, Michael J.; Cronin, Duane (Elsevier, 2019-12)While adhesive bonding has been shown to be a beneficial technique to join multi-material automotive bodies-in-white, quantitatively assessing the effect of adherend response on the ultimate strength of adhesively bonded ... -
Mode I Traction-Separation Measured Using Rigid Double Cantilever Beam Applied to Structural Adhesive
Watson, Brock; Liao, Chi-Hsiang; Worswick, Michael J.; Cronin, Duane (Taylor & Francis, 2018-08-06)Adhesive joining facilitates the development of multi-material vehicle structures; however, widespread adoption requires material properties to characterize adhesive joints for implementation in finite element (FE) models. ... -
Quantification of Mixed Mode Loading and Bond Line Thickness on Adhesive Joint Strength Using Novel Test Specimen Geometry
Watson, Brock; Worswick, Michael J.; Cronin, Duane (Elsevier, 2020-10)This study quantifies the effect of mixed mode loading and bond line thickness on adhesive joint strength or automotive structural applications. This research is motivated by the need to address the complex loading that ...
