Stiffness Characteristics of Joshi’s External Stabilization System under Axial Compression: a Finite Element Method Based Study

A finite element model of fractured tibia with Joshi’s External Stabilizing System (JESS) mounted on it was developed using 3D beam elements in the ANSYS software. The model was loaded in axial compression and the average axial stiffness of the model was calculated. The analytical value of axial stiffness was compared with reported experimental value to validate the finite element model. The va...

Parameter Study of GTN Model in a SLM Manufactured Lattice Structure under Compression by Using FEM

This study investigates the effect of material parameters of the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) model on the failure prediction of cellular structures. The effect of elastic modulus, calibration parameter of GTN model, isotropic hardening, fracture strain, and strut diameter on the load-displacement curve of a lattice structure fabricated by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) has been studied by u...

Experimental Study on Axial Compression Behavior of RC Columns Under Rapid Loadings

In this study, experimental study on six RC columns with different slenderness ratios under axial rapid loading was conducted to investigate the axial compression behaviour of RC columns considering the effect of strain rates. The failure pattern of the specimens and the relations of axial loading versus the axial deformation were described. From the test results, the specimens under static and...

Dynamic Enhancement and Multi-axial Behavior of Honeycombs under Combined Shear- Compression Doctoral Committee

III Abstract: This study aims at the energy absorption problems in the crash of high speed vehicles, bird impact and crashworthiness design of aircraft, and the dynamic enhancement and multi-axial behavior of honeycombs under combined shearcompression are investigated. The study consists mainly of two parts. The first part is related to the dynamic strength enhancement of honeycombs under uniax...
