Comparison of porcine brain mechanical properties to potential tissue simulant materials in quasi-static and sinusoidal compression
Singh, D.; Boakye-Yiadom, S.; Cronin, D.S. (Elsevier, 2019-07-19)In both finite element and physical surrogate models of head blast injury, accurate material properties of the brain and/or tissue simulants are necessary to ensure biofidelity in predicted response. Thus, there is a need ... -
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 ... -
Influence of moisture and thermal cycling on delamination flaws in transparent armor materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane bonded glass-polycarbonate laminates
Rivers, G.; Cronin, Duane S. (Elsevier, 2019-11)Transparent armor laminates (TALs), manufactured from layers of soda-lime-silica float glass, thermoplastic polyurethane, and polycarbonate, are known to suffer unpredictable delamination in ambient-condition service, ... -
Influence of the chest compression measurement method on assessment of restraint performance in side-impact crash scenarios
Gierczycka, Donata; Cronin, Duane S. (Elsevier, 2018-06-25)Side impact crashes contribute a significant number of fatal injuries (25% of road fatalities in the USA in 2016), with severe thoracic injuries diagnosed in 58% of front near-side impact occupants. Epidemiological data ... -
Quasi-static and dynamic characterization of unidirectional non-crimp carbon fiber fabric composites processed by HP-RTM
Cherniaev, Aleksandr; Zeng, Yu; Cronin, Duane; Montesano, John (Elsevier, 2019-07)Recently developed high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) processes have enabled the integration of lightweight fiber-reinforced composites into automobiles (e.g., frame and roof components, floor segments), which ... -
Sphere on tile ballistic impact experiment to characterize the response of soda lime glass
Sathananthan, Prusodman; Sirois, Alexandra; Singh, Dilaver; Cronin, Duane (Elsevier, 2019-11)Robust computational models of soda-lime silicate glass (SLG) are used in the development of transparent armor systems, which require an independent set of experimental data with known boundary conditions for model validation. ...
