16. Fracture and stress in powder compacts
Sammanfattning : In the field of powder metallurgy (PM), the production methods are constantly developed and improved to produce components with high precision and strength. Cold uniaxial pressing of powder into a green body is a common process in PM. LÄS MER
17. Clinical and morphological aspects of metastatic spinal cord compression
Sammanfattning : Background: Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a serious complication of cancer leading to demyelination and axonal damage of the spinal cord with a risk of para/tetraplegia. It is most common in patients with known cancer but may also be the initial manifestation of malignancy (IMM). LÄS MER
18. Alternative techniques in trochanteric hip fracture surgery. Clinical and biomechanical studies on the Medoff sliding plate and the Twin hook
Sammanfattning : In allowing compression along the femoral shaft (uniaxial dynamization) and optional compression along the femoral neck (biaxial dynamization), the Medoff sliding plate (MSP) represents a new principle in the fixation of trochanteric hip fractures. The Twin hook with 2 apical hooks was designed as an alternative to the lag screw. LÄS MER
19. Towards energy-based fracture modelling for crashworthiness applications
Sammanfattning : The automotive industry is currently adapting to progessively more stringent emission and safety regulations imposed by governmental agencies. This introduces significant design difficulties due to the conflicting nature of passenger safety in automotive manufacturing, namely that increased crashworthiness generally leads to heavier vehicles, which in turn leads to more severe crashes.

20. Deformation and failure of brittle rocks under compression
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the deformation and failure of rocks under compression through a micromechanics model and laboratory studies of the Kaiser effect. It comprises an overview and seven appended papers. The deformation model is developed based on the analysis of the behaviour of microcracks. LÄS MER
