Modeling Radiation Transport Using MCNP6 and Abaqus/CAE - 2012

This study allows mechanical engineering models to be used in place of legacy constructive solid geometry descriptions, which are far less sophisticated. This capability also allows for the seamless integration of radiation transport calculations with analysis of the resulting thermal and mechanical effects on materials.

Stepwise Validated Finite Element Model of the Human Lumbar Spine - 2012

The objective of the present study was to develop and validate an explicit FE model of the lumbosacral spine and the FSU L4-L5 using patient-specific in vitro data and to evaluate load-deflection characteristics, contact mechanics and efficiency of the FSU. It is also to create a probabilistic model to efficiently predict the performance of the FSU by incorporating disc and ligament material variability.

Fluid-Structure Interaction Simulations of Rocket Engine Side Loads - 2012

The goal of this work was to simulate both the flow in a rocket engine nozzle and the resulting flow-induced transient loads on the nozzle. This unsteady nozzle flow results in structural dynamic excitation, which contributes not only to nozzle stress and deformation but also to the dynamic loads that are transmitted to the rest of the engine.
