Characterization of Activities of Crumb Rubber in Interaction with Asphalt and its Effect on Final Properties
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Recycling of millions of scrap tires produced everyday is crucial challenge encountered by waste management systems. Recycling tire rubbers in form of ground tire rubber, known as crumb rubber modifier (CRM), in asphalt ...
Micromechanical Characterization of Brain White Matter with Bi-Directional Orientation of Axonal Fibers
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Axonal injury within the white matter of human brain and spinal cord has led to several diseases in the Central Nervous System (Karami and Shankar, [1]). Diffuse axonal injury, one of the forms of Traumatic Brain Injury ...
Computational Biomechanics of Blast-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury: Role of Loading Directionality, Head Protection, and Blast Flow Mechanics
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
In this dissertation, blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is studied with respect to
the blast wave directionality, mitigation capability of helmet/faceshield, and blast flow
mechanics using finite element (FE) ...
Brain Tissue Mechanical Characterization and Determination of Brain Response under Confined Blasts Explosions
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Mechanical experimental tests including stress relaxation, simple monotonic ramps, and impact loads were performed on porcine brain tissues to investigate the response of the brain under different loading scenarios. Linear ...
