Head and Neck Response of an Active 2 Human Body Model and Finite Element 3 Anthropometric Test Device During a 4 Linear Impactor Helmet Test
Bruneau, David; Cronin, Duane (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2020-02-01)It has been proposed that neck muscle activation may play a role in head response resulting from impacts in American Football. The importance of neck stiffness and active musculature in the standard Linear Impactor Helmet ... -
Importance of the Cervical Capsular Joint Cartilage Geometry on Head and Facet Joint Kinematics Assessed in a Finite Element Neck Model.
Corrales, Miguel; Cronin, Duane (Elsevier, 2021-06-23)Finite element human neck models (NMs) aim to predict neck response and injury at the tissue level; however, contemporary models are most often assessed using global response such as head kinematics. Additionally, many NM ... -
Low Density Polyethylene, Expanded Polystyrene and Expanded Polypropylene: Strain Rate and Size Effects on Mechanical Properties
Cronin, Duane; Ouellet, Simon (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-08)Polymeric foam materials may be used as energy absorbing materials for protection in impact scenarios, and design with these materials requires the mechanical properties of foams across a range of deformation rates, where ... -
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 ...
