The adaptive elements of disparity vergence: Dynamics and directional asymmetries.
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-24)Vergence eye movements alter the angle between the two visual axes, creating changes in binocular fixation distance. They are primarily stimulated by retinal image disparities, but can also be driven by inputs from ocular ... -
Dislocation Dynamics for High Strain-Rate Plasticity: Inertial and Thermal Effects
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-26)There has been a trend of miniaturization in recent technological advances, particularly through the development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). To cope with the demand for increasing performance from ever smaller ... -
Experimental Methods for the Constitutive Characterization of Sheet Materials in Generalized Plane Strain
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-11)Decreasing vehicle weight by substituting traditional steel for high-strength steel or aluminum is an effective way to improve fuel economy and decrease greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector. The optimization ...
