**[GRF Project #1]{.underline}**

**Title of Project:** Determining mechanical properties of human
pediatric ribs

**Sponsor:** Vehicle Research and Test Center

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

**Length of Assignment**: 12 months

**Disciplines:** Mechanical Engineering/Biomechanics/Skeletal Biology

**Prerequisites:** Ph.D. Candidate

**Description of Assignment:**

Biomechanical testing is not commonly applied to post-mortem pediatric
subjects because of obvious ethical issues. Therefore, little is known
about the mechanical properties of the human pediatric thorax. This
project intends to develop experimental techniques for defining the
material and structural properties of pediatric rib tissue from small
rib specimens obtained at autopsy. These data will be used to
characterize properties of the pediatric thorax to aid in constructing
more biofidelic pediatric dummies and computer models.

Quasi-static three-point bend tests have been applied to adult ribs in
the past to determine their material properties. There is currently no
comparable published data for pediatric ribs. Previous testing has
revealed that large variance in gross rib geometry and cross-sectional
properties can interfere with measured mechanical variables. This
inconsistency provides inaccurate material properties data because the
test set-up is non-repeatable. It is desired to formulate an
experimental test approach that can produce accurate material property
measurements for pediatric ribs with widely varying geometry and
material properties.

Additionally, innovative microscopic analyses of the bone specimens
should be explored in the biomechanical context. Analyses should include
cross-sectional geometric and histomorphometric variables to correlate
with strength parameters and child developmental data. The use of
skeletal histomorphometric data and non-age based developmental data may
provide an improved understanding of the varied response of pediatric
bone. The overall goal of this analysis is to obtain a reliable
methodology to predict a child's risk of rib fracture in a vehicular
impact.

The results of this study will be: 1) methodological advances in test
technique for obtaining accurate material properties of pediatric ribs,
and 2) description and quantification of how the microscopic changes of
pediatric ribs during development can affect their material and
structural properties.

**Academic Credit:** To be determined by the university

**Expected Outcome:** A report, or thesis, (1) delineating an
experimental approach for testing pediatric rib specimens that provide
accurate material properties and (2) a methodology for relating
pediatric rib strength to the living child's development.

**[GRF Project #2]{.underline}**

**Title of Project:** A methodology for determining human soft tissue
properties in-situ.

**Sponsor:** Vehicle Research and Test Center

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

**Length of Assignment**: 12 months

**Disciplines:** Mechanical Engineering

**Prerequisites:** Ph.D. Candidate

**Description of Assignment:**

Although numerical modeling of the human body is advancing rapidly the
usefulness of results are limited by our minimal knowledge of the
mechanical properties of human tissues under high-rate impact loading.
This project intends to develop a methodology and experimental technique
for measuring applied displacements and reaction force for human tissue
in-situ under compressive, tensile and shear loading. These data will be
used to generate material constitutive relationships for human tissue.

Traditionally material property studies of human tissue have been done
by removing an organ from a post-mortem human subject and excising
tissue samples for testing in standard engineering tests such as
compressive or tensile tests. Because the response of most human tissue
is rate dependent, non-linear, inelastic and non-isotropic these
traditional methods have proven to provide less than accurate material
properties. The act of obtaining tissue samples (cutting) changes the
properties dramatically and process of storage, mounting and measuring
force and displacement during testing greatly affect the results. It is
desired to make force versus displacement measurements at high rates of
loading (high frequency) with the parent organ in-place in the body and
without excising samples by cutting tissue, i.e., a minimally invasive
technique.

The goal of this methodology is to obtain material property data from
autopsy subjects during the post-mortem examination without interfering
with the medical procedure and without additionally damaging the
subject. This approach will provide more accurate data from intact
organs with natural boundary conditions.

It is anticipated that this project will utilize innovative techniques
and mechanical equipment to impart small displacements at high
frequencies on the tissue of in-situ organs. Forces are expected to be
in the range of 0.01 to 5 N with displacements in the millimeter to
centimeter range and frequencies from 0 to several hundred Hz.

The results of this study will be a theoretical description of the
approach, a conceptual design for the equipment and fabrication of
equipment sufficient to obtain proof-of-concept data obtained from
animal tissue and/or post-mortem human subject tissue.

**Academic Credit:** To be determined by the university

**Expected Outcome:** A report, or thesis, developing (1) the
theoretical basis for obtaining post-mortem tissue material properties
in--situ and (2) a prototype and a demonstration test of the
experimental equipment developed to make the measurements.

**[GRF Project #3]{.underline}**

**Title Of Project:** Pavement Shear Strain Response to Dual And Wide
Base Tires

**Sponsor:** Federal Highway Administration

**Length of Assignment:** 12 months

**Disciplines:** Engineering Mechanics, Pavements, Experimental Stress
Analysis

**Prerequisites:** Bachelor of Science in Engineering

**Description Of Assignment**: FHWA is interested in the effects of wide
base tires which are seeing increased usage in the United States. The
intent of this study is to process and analyze data collected from
instrumented pavements sections that were loaded by a truck equipped
with both dual and wide base tires in hot weather conditions. The data
was collected from the SPS-8 pavement test sections at the Ohio Test
Road. The pavement was instrumented with strain gage rosettes oriented
in the vertical direction to capture shear strains induced from the
passing wheel loads at different speeds and tire inflation pressures.
The data will be used to show relative shear strains induced in pavement
surface layer due to the changing experimental loading conditions. In
addition to the strain data, other information that is needed for
complete analysis includes the lateral wheel path offset position,
ambient temperature, vehicle configuration, sensor location,
tire-pavement interface pressure distribution and materials
characterization. While all this data exists, it is in various locations
and needs to be sorted through and pulled together for analysis. The
integration of this package of information would then be used to verify
the accuracy of existing computer models with respect to their ability
to predict pavement response for the given loading, structural and
material conditions.

The analysis of data from these experiments may reveal the relative
strains induced by each tire type and design. This work is meant to
compliment ongoing work on a 3D FEM tire model at the University of
Florida, 3D FEM Pavement modeling at the University of Illinois and the
Vehicle-Pavement Interaction work as part of the Asphalt Research
Consortium at the University of Nevada -- Reno, as well as
Transportation Pooled Fund solicitation #1175, "The Impact of Wide-Base
Tires on Pavement Damage: A National Study.
<http://www.pooledfund.org/projectdetails.asp?id=1175&status=1>. It is
anticipated that the research fellow will be coordinating his or her
efforts with these universities in the course of this fellowship.

FHWA sponsored an international workshop on the use of wide base tires
at TFHRC October 25-26, 2007. Many useful references may be found in the
minutes to that workshop, which can be found here:
<http://www.arc.unr.edu/Workshops.html>

**Academic Credits**: 6 ‑ 12 credits

**Outputs/Products** A research report, conference paper and
presentation that demonstrate the relative primary strain response of
instrumented pavements to loading from the dual and wide base tire
configurations. An organized data set would also be developed and will
accompany the report. The report and data set will help lay the
foundation for additional validation of pavement primary response
models.
