Multiscale Musculoskeletal Modeling Of The Lower Limb To Perform Personalized Simulations Of Movement, Alessandro Navacchia
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Computational modeling has been used for many decades to inform design and decision-making in several fields of engineering, such as aerospace, automotive, petroleum, and others. However, it still struggles to have a similar impact in fields of medicine, such as orthopaedics. Three of the challenges that have limited the use of computational modeling in the clinical practice and in product development are model validation, personalization, and realism. Validation is a challenge because several internal parameters of the human body, such as muscle forces, are not safely measurable in vivo and, consequently, a thorough comparison between model outputs …

Computation Aided Design Of Multicomponent Refractory Alloys With A Focus On Mechanical Properties, Paul Daniel Clark
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Quantum mechanical calculations paired with exponential growth in computer processing speed has created a paradigm shift in materials discovery. Simulations can be carried out to accurately predict structure-composition-property relationships of novel systems. This work focuses on calculating elastic properties of high entropy alloys, a new class of alloys that are built from 4+ elements in equi-atomic proportion. These alloys often exhibit simple microstructures and each constituent element contributes its properties to the overall bulk properties of the amalgamated material. This "cocktail" effect has led to the discovery of many alloys which could drive technical advances in the future. Elastic properties …
