Testing & Evaluation

Throughout my professional journey, I have amassed a wealth of expertise in designing, preparing, and conducting tests on various materials and structures, encompassing both quasi-static and high loading rates. I have diligently acquired the necessary skills to proficiently plan experimental protocols, handle instrumentation, facilitate data acquisition, execute tests, and analyse resulting data.

Test of Protective Floor Mats

The protective mats were optimised using FEA and tested to validate their behaviour in response to impact loading.

Vibration Testing

Full level sine vibration testing of flight model of front end electronics box at acceptance level and duration.

Moment of Inertia Determination

Test to determine the moment of inertia of front end electronics box.

Characterisation of Phosphor Bronze

The aim of this test was to verify the yield stress and ultimate tensile strength of various grades of Phosphor Bronze rods.

Injury Tolerance of the Human Leg

The aim of this study was to use lower limb surrogates to investigate whether the posture of the lower limb of the occupant affects the injurious outcome in an underbody blast incident.

Injury Tolerance of the Hand

The aim of this study was to evaluate the probability of injury to the small joints of the human hand due to blunt impact.

Characterisation of the Sciatic Nerve

The aim of this study was to determine the material properties of the human sciatic nerve at different strain rates.

Characterisation of a Foot Orthosis

The aim of this study was to determine the mechanical characteristics of a novel foot and ankle orthosis through various tests.

Stiffness of External Fixators

The aim of this study was to compare the stiffness of the Dolphix system with the existing Hoffmann III system.

Fragmentation Injury to the Tibia

The aim of this study was to quantify the risk of fracture to the anteromedial, posterior, and lateral aspects of the tibia from a metal fragment-simulating projectile.
