Simulation of Damage in Human Cortical Bone with Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis in MATLAB
(Virginia Tech Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2006-09-22)
This paper examines bone fatigue damage using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to predict changes in modulus, damage and cycles to failure.The MATLAB-coded material model has been previously implemented in a full FEA package.It ...
System X: An Advanced Tool for Material Science and Engineering
(Virginia Tech Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2006-09-22)
Virginia Tech students now have one of the world’s most powerful research tools in their own backyard.In the winter of 2003, Virginia Tech researchers took major strides in supercomputer innovation when their high-profile ...
Experimental Simulation of High Energy-Density Plasma Interaction with Liquid Metal Media for Inertial Fusion Reactor First Wall Studies
(Virginia Tech Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2006-09-22)
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) is a promising technology positioned to address the future energy needs of the world.An advanced design concept for ICF reactors is to use a circulating liquid barrier to protect the first ...
Particle Spacing Effects on the Strengthening of Discontinuously-Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites
(Virginia Tech Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2006-09-22)
In metal matrix composites, the spacing between discontinuous reinforcements can affect strengthening by interfering with the motion of dislocations through the metal.This project looks for similar phenomena in polymer ...
Microwave Sintering of Simulated Moon Rock
(Virginia Tech Department of Materials Science and Engineering, 2006-09-22)
The focus of this research was to determine the feasibility of using microwave energy to sinter simulated moon rock.Microwave processing is often used as an alternative to traditional sintering of ceramic materials for its ...
