1. Crack growth paths in rolling contact fatigue — Numerical predictions
Sammanfattning : Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) cracks in railway wheels and rails are costly and complex to deal with. Despite the extensive research efforts that have been put into understanding the mechanisms and developing appropriate predictive models for RCF crack growth, there are still a lot of open questions.

2. Oxygen Induced High Temperature Crack Growth in Ni-base Superalloys
Sammanfattning : Oxygen induced crack growth is a serious concern for the performance of Ni-base superalloys. These alloys are used in gas-turbine engines where they are exposed to hightemperatures, mechanical loads and oxygen-rich environments. LÄS MER
3. On crack growth under compressive stresses
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns fractures subjected to compressive stresses. In the four papers appended fracture behavior in brittle as well as ductile materials is studied. LÄS MER
4. Numerical simulation of crack growth and wear in rails
Sammanfattning : Wear and rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of rails are huge problems for the railway industry with increased world-wide occurrence during the last decades. It is, therefore, of high interest to develop tools for the prediction of wear and RCF which can be used to estimate rail life. LÄS MER
5. Growth of fatigue cracks subjected to non-proportional Mode I and II
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with some aspects of crack growth in the presence of cyclic loading, i.e. fatigue. The cyclic load cases studied here are primary of non-proportional mixed mode type. LÄS MER
