The Evolution of Cord Mechanics with Applications in Biomedical Engineering Research and Industrial Research and Development

9502123 Conway这个职业类型的奖项是为了支持脐带力学应用于生物力学和复合结构的研究。特别是螺旋结构的生物韧带和肌腱结构的作用将被评估。现有的轮胎模型排除了螺旋缠绕钢丝的某些方面，这些方面可能对它们的失败很重要。这项研究将试图为轮胎行业提供更好的失效模型。此外，报告写作任务将被纳入本科设计课程，研究生水平的指导将增加。＊＊＊

9502123 Conway This CAREER type award is to support research in cord mechanics applied to biomechanics and in composite structures. In particular the role of helical construction of biological ligament and tendon structures will be evaluated. Existing models of tires exclude some aspects of the helically wound wires which may be important to their failure. The research will attempt to provide better failure models for the tire industry. In addition report writing assignments will be incorporated into the undergraduate design curriculae and mentoring will be increased at the graduate level. ***
