SUMMARY:Bone Fracture Simulation in Human Body Models
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Duane Cronin\, PhD\, University of Waterloo\, Canada  Location: ERF 1043  Abstract: A primary aim for Finite element Human Body Models (HBM) is to predict injury at the tissue-level\, where injury occurs. However\, the prediction of hard tissue response to loading\, fracture initiation\, and fracture propagation has presented challenges in the simulation environment. In this presentation\, a brief introduction to HBMs\, response to impact\, and injury assessment will be presented. Recently developed methods and approaches for cortical and trabecular bone constitutive modeling will be discussed using examples of long bones\, ribs and vertebra.  Speaker Bio: Duane is a professor in mechanical and mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo\, Canada\, and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in trauma biomechanics and injury prevention. Research interests include material characterization and constitutive modeling\, trauma biomechanics\, personal protection\, vehicle crashworthiness\, and multi-material lightweight vehicle structures. Cronin leads the Neck Model Centre of Expertise for the Global Human Body Models Consortium\, collaborating to develop one of the most detailed and biofidelic human body models used globally by industry and academics. | Event post: https://mie.uic.edu/events?page_id=4842
