There has been a wide spread research in the field of sports biomechanics, providing useful information about the risk of injuries in various sports. This information is beneficial in educating athletes and professional trainers about the possible risk of injuries and providing …
Multipoint tooling is a mould making technology that enables the rapid reconfiguration of a mould to create individual components. It replaces the commonly used, elaborately designed, and costly manufactured solid die, with an array of individually adjustable pins. These pins ca…
The fracture of water ballast tank (WBT) coatings due to thermal stresses is widely recognised as an issue. Upon coating fracture, rapid corrosion of the tanker steel structure will occur, leading to expensive structure repairs or even tanker scrapping. In this project, the frac…
In recent years, one of the most significant advances in analysis and simulation of metal forming processes has been the development and application of the finite element method (FEM). Hydroforming microscale sheet metal forming represents a new and attractive solution to many m…
The controversial concern of comfortable seats grows considerably as the new era of technology brings longer traveling trips and more dependence on computers; hence, individuals spend more time seated to work, travel, and play. Uncomfortable sitting may reduce the quality of suc…
Presented in this dissertation are novel models and techniques to analyze the whirling vibration of drillstrings during oil and gas (O&G) operations. Mathematical models are developed to solve for the dynamic whirl response. For this purpose, the drillstring is modeled by a syst…
The main aim of this project was to examine the effects of introducing hierarchy into honeycombs and determining the variables that preside over the global response of the structure. Specifically to understand how the in and out-of-plane elastic and non-linear plastic properties…
