Microstructure-sensitive modeling of pitting corrosion: Effect of the crystallographic orientation

This work presents an innovative framework for the simulation of stable pit growth that accounts for the material microstructure in the computational model to investigate its effect on pit growth behavior.

An investigation of the effects of traffic induced local dynamics on global damping estimates using operational modal analysis

Simulations of estimating the modal damping on a bridge from hour-long records of traffic loading were conducted by combining physics-based finite element modeling and signal processing.

Uncertainty quantification for constitutive model calibration of brain tissue

The results of a study comparing model calibration techniques for Ogden's constitutive model that describes the hyperelastic behavior of brain tissue are presented.

Assessing the reliability of the cargo deck of a hovercraft through fiber optic strain measurements

Through the use of fiber optic sensing systems, strain data was collected along the cargo deck of two naval hovercraft during various maneuvers and loading conditions.
