1. Muscle Thixotropy : Implications for Human Motor Control
Sammanfattning : Human skeletal muscles possess thixotropic, i.e. history-dependent mechanical properties. This means that the degree of passive muscle stiffness and resting tension is dependent on the immediately preceding history of contractions and length changes. LÄS MER
2. Retarded sorption in wood : experimental study, analyses and modeling
Sammanfattning : Models of moisture flow processes in wood are normally based on a Fickian approach. In many instances, there are considerable discrepancies between modelling and experimental results. It is shown in this thesis that a major cause for these discrepancies is a so-called retarded sorption which is not accounted for in conventional theories. LÄS MER
3. Touching the Essence of Life : Haptic Virtual Proteins for Learning
Sammanfattning : This dissertation presents research in the development and use of a multi-modal visual and haptic virtual model in higher education. The model, named Chemical Force Feedback (CFF), represents molecular recognition through the example of protein-ligand docking, and enables students to simultaneously see and feel representations of the protein and ligand molecules and their force interactions.

4. Coupled thermal, metallurgical and mechanical models of multipass welding
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with modelling and simulation of thermo mechanical processes in multipass welding. The aim of the simulations is to predict the residual stresses and/or the deformations that occur after welding. These residual stresses and deformations are caused by the high temperature gradients due to the local heating. LÄS MER
5. Path integral control endowed robot planning under spatiotemporal logic specifications
Sammanfattning : The increasing level of autonomy and intelligence of robotic systems in carrying out complex tasks can be expected to revolutionize both the industry and our everyday lives. This thesis takes a step towards automation by leveraging the power of path integral control (PIC) methods for solving control problems under such task satisfaction constraints in both a stochastic control and a reinforcement learning setting.
