A musculoskeletal model of a subject specific knee joint with menisci, during the stance phase of a walk cycle
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-26)
Movement simulation and musculoskeletal modeling can predict muscle forces, but current methods are hindered by simplified representations of joint structures. Simulations that incorporate muscle forces, an anatomical ...
Investigation of strength of a hybrid adhesive anchor system used in precast concrete welded repair applications subjected to tensile and eccentric shear loading
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-28)
A common precast industry repair for missing or misplaced connection plates is
the use of an adhesive anchor system to fasten repair plates to precast members.
Typically, the repair plate will experience elevated ...
Hydrologic Analysis of Rain Garden Performance
(2016)
Urban flooding became a significant issue for many cities worldwide due to rapid urbanization and increased impervious areas over the past two decades ([1]). Rain gardens are considered to be an economically-friendly ...
Modeling Pressurized Stairwells with Open Doors
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Stairwells are essential to occupant exiting from tall (high-rise) buildings. In order to
maintain tenable environments in the stairwells, modeling building and fire codes allow the
use of a stair pressurization system ...
Musculoskeletal Modeling of The Human Elbow Joint
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Comprehensive knowledge of the in vivo loading of elbow structures is essential in
understanding the biomechanical causes associated with elbow diseases and injuries, and
to find appropriate treatment. Currently, in ...
Use of Biomechanical Motion Analysis and Pelvic Surgery Simulator for the Prevention of Surgical Errors in Mid-urethral Sling Anti-Incontinence Surgery
(2023)
More than 200 million surgeries are performed annually worldwide in which preventable complications occur in up to 22 percent of these surgeries, with permanent disability rates between 0.4 - 0.8 percent. Resident surgeons ...
Predictive Thermal Modeling and 3E Analysis of Solar Water Heating Systems: Employing A Hybrid Lattice Boltzmann Based Method and Experimental Investigation
(2023)
Today, solar energy is one of the most prevalent forms of renewable energy being used and will come to play one of the most significant roles in meeting future energy demands, which is expected to increase to 34000 PJ by ...
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)
Bridge structures are required to possess high reliability and robustness against the concurrent effect of extreme loads and environmental attacks. To achieve such interrelated goals, it is necessary to assess the system ...
