Observations of post-hurricane events indicate that light-frame wood houses are vulnerable to failure
Observations of post-hurricane events indicate that light-frame wood houses are vulnerable to failure due to the inability of their connections to provide sufficient transfer of uplift wind loads from the roof of the house to the foundation. One of these connections is the roof-to-wall connection (RTWC), which connects roof trusses to the top plate members of the walls. This issue has been investigated through full-scale testing at the Insurance Research Lab for Better Homes. This thesis describes the detailed finite element modelling performed for this full-scale testing …

The incidence of total shoulder arthroplasty procedures (TSA) to treat osteoarthritis has experienced the most rapid growth among all human joint replacements. However, stress shielding of proximal bone following its reconstruction is a complication of TSA triggering unfavorable adaptive bone remodeling, especially for osteoporotic patients.
A better understanding of how the shape and density of the shoulder vary among members of a population can help design more effective population-based orthopedic implants. Therefore, finite element models representing healthy, osteopenic, and osteoporotic bone qualities in a population were developed using our statistical shape and density model. Bones were reconstructed with hollow- and …
