1. Application of Differential Geometry to Elasticity and Corresponding Discrete Models
Sammanfattning : The amazing development in technology and industry during the last half of the twentieth century has opened totally new research fields. One of them is computational mechanics. Suddenly very complex, three-dimensional nonlinear engineering problems could be solved as a consequence of explosive advances in computers and numerical schemes. LÄS MER
2. Non-linear behavior of bio-based composite : characterization and modeling
Sammanfattning : The development and application of bio-based composite materials have been frequently studied. Most of the work is done on quasi-static performance of these materials. However, these composites are highly non-linear therefore there is need for investigation of their viscelastic and viscoplastic behavior. LÄS MER
3. Empirical studies of financial asset returns
Sammanfattning : This dissertation aims at understanding differences in rates of returns on financial assets, both in the cross-section and over time. It contains four chapters. The first paper is "Non-separable preferences and risk aversion: Results from the UK". LÄS MER
4. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach
Sammanfattning : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. LÄS MER
5. Acoustical experiments on the non-linear and non-equilibrium behavior of rocks
Sammanfattning : The study of dynamic behavior of non-perfect materials, such as rocks, is a rich topic for developing sensitive material evaluation and damage detection techniques. It has extensive applications in a variety of fields such as Physics, Geology, and Aerospace, Mechanical, Civil, Petroleum, and Material Engineering. LÄS MER
