Mechanical Characterization and Computational Modeling of Snap-cure Epoxy
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-16)Owing to their high specific mechanical properties and excellent energy absorption characteristics, high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials are regarded as viable candidates for improving ... -
Mesoscale modeling and direct simulation of explosively dispersed granular materials
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-09)Explosively dispersed granular materials frequently exhibit macroscale coherent particle clustering and jetting structures. The underlying mechanism is of significant interest to study instability and mixing in high-speed ... -
Optimization of Neck Musculature Activation for Head Kinematics in Frontal, Lateral and Rear Impact Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-07-21)The activation of the neck musculature plays an important role in the response of the head and neck and can affect the risk of injury under impact conditions. Yet, the role of the level (i.e., magnitude) and timing of the ...
