Multiscale Impact Mechanics of Additively Manufactured Periodic Cellular Solids
… finding the presence of struts aligned in the impact direction led to lower EA efficiencies; the influence of shape transformers on the performance of stretching- and bending-dominated lattices was investigated, finding it possible to improve their EA performance by changing the strut …

Impact Mechanics Of A Lap Joint: A Theoretical-Based Parametric Study
… In order to represent a loose lap joint, a beam impacting four springs with gaps is modeled. A basis analysis reveals impulse frequency responses with unique dynamic phenomena. Using steady state response, six influential parameters are studied: damping ratio, contact stiffness, position of …

Impact Mechanics of PMMA/PC Multi-Laminates with Soft Polymer Interlayers
… of how a soft interlayer affects the impact response and energy dissipation mechanisms of all-polymer multi-laminates. An instrumented, intermediate impact velocity experimental setup with strain rates on the order of 100 s-1, is used to assess the impact mechanics of three-layered …

The Effect of Fascicular Elastin on the Mechanical and Functional Properties of Healthy, Damaged, and Healing Tendon
… may rely on different underlying mechanisms to impact mechanics depending on tendon type. Lastly, the role of elastin in post-rupture healing was investigated in Prx1Cre+;Elnfl/fl mice through unilateral partial AT transection and treatment injections (tropoelastin, saline, or no injections). …

An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Axonal Injury, Biomarker Expression And Mechanical Response In A Rodent Head Impact Acceleration Model
… <p>In this dissertation, a modified Marmarou impact acceleration injury model was developed to allow the monitoring of velocity of the impactor and characterization of head kinematics during impact. The rat head sustained linear acceleration and angular velocity of 918±281g and 116±45 rad/sec, …
