Optimized Evaluation of Bone Tissue Material Properties by Inverse Finite Element Analysis and Femur Fracture Testing
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The main objective of this research is to characterize bone inhomogeneous elastic, yield, and post-yield behaviors, using a computational-experimental approach. The current study uses the force-displacement results of one ... -
The Physico-Chemical Investigation of Interfacial Properties in Natural Fiber/Vinyl Ester Biocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Bast fibers are one of most widely used types of cellulosic natural fibers. Flax fibers, a specific type of bast fiber, have historically been used as reinforcements in composites because they offer competitive advantages, ... -
Simulation-Based Optimization and Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Macromechanical and Micromechanical Characterization of Soft Biological Tissues
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious health and socioeconomic issue which affects thousands of lives annually in the United States. Computational simulations play an important role in better understanding of the TBI ...
