Energy storage and dissipation in polyurea composites
… been extensively studied under impact and blast loading. In this research, the tunable performance of polyurea sandwich armor composites is explored in modeling and experimentation. Cylindrical arrays comprised of polyurea, a resilient yet dissipative material, enable improved load transmission …

Computational modeling of blast-induced traumatic brain injury
… for blast effects on the head, and even direct transmission of the shock wave to the intracranial cavity is disputed. Still less is known about how personal protective equipment such as the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) affect the brain's response to blasts. The goal of this thesis is to …

Characterisation and modelling of spinal facet joints
… kinematics of the spine and play a role in the load transmission through the spinal vertebrae. Due to the high level of mobility and the large forces influencing the facet joint, it can develop significant degenerative changes which lead to the back pain problems in the human spine. However, the …

Effective Simplified Finite Element Tire Models for Vehicle Dynamics Simulation
… for vehicle dynamics simulation. The tire as a load-carrying member in a vehicle system deserves emphasized formulation especially for the contact patch because its representation of mechanics in the contact patch directly impacts the handling and ride performance of a vehicle. On the other …

Vibro-acoustic optimization of panel with curvilinear stiffeners
… a panel with straight stiffeners for a complex loading such as bi-axial compression with shear and transverse pressure. The research work in this dissertation addresses the sizing as well as placement optimization of panel with straight and curvilinear stiffeners for desired structural as well …

Biomechanical investigation of the hallux metatarsophalangeal joint
… is a vital joint in the forefoot for normal load transmission and energy efficient locomotion. Albeit a lot in literature about this joint, paucity still exists in the biomechanical aspects. Also, there is a speculation in the biomechanical world that the time integral component of pressure …

On backoff mechanisms for wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
… timers which allow adequate time for current transmissions to finish and, at the same time, avoid unneeded idle time that leads to redundant delay in the network. Moreover, the backoff mechanism used should decide the suitable action to be taken in case of repeated failures of a node to attain …
