21. Genotoxic hazards in the rubber industry : application of short-term tests in work environment analyses
Sammanfattning : Excess mortality from a number of different types of cancer has been associated with work in the rubber industry. The aim of the present study - using short-term tests for mutagenicity - was to identify potentially hazardous additives and process fumes to which workers are exposed. LÄS MER
22. Performance of Isotropic Magnetorheological Rubber Materials
Sammanfattning : Magnetorheological (MR) rubber materials are controllablecomposites that consist of magnetically polarisable particlesin a rubber matrix. They belong to a group of so-called "smartmaterials" that have seen an increased interest recently. LÄS MER
23. Detecting Inclusions in a Silicone Rubber Phantom Using Standing Lamb Waves and Multiple Frequency Footprints
Sammanfattning : The thesis deals with one major question: is it possible, using one piezoelectric sensor/vibrator, to detect a hard inclusion in a silicone rubber phantom? The question was approached with an open mind and the task was subdivided into three clearly identifiable parts: characterization of the piezoelectric sensor/vibrator (paper I), creating a model of the visco-elastic properties of a tissue-like material (phantom) in contact with the sensor/vibrator (paper II), and to detect the presence of a hard inclusion in the phantom (paper III). All vibrations of the sensor/vibrator and phantom was modeled using a finite element method (FEM). LÄS MER
24. Modelling and experimental testing of truck tyre rolling resistance
Sammanfattning : Truck transport offers a versatile way to ship goods in regional, long haulage and urban applications. However, the heavy truck sector accounts for 6 % of total greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union. Therefore, there is a need for a substantial reduction of these emissions to secure the sustainability of Earth for future generations. LÄS MER
25. Truck tyre rolling resistance : Experimental testing and constitutive modelling of tyres
Sammanfattning : Global warming sets a high demand to reduce the CO2 emissions of vehicles. In the European Union heavy-duty road transports account for 6 % of the total greenhouse gases and one of the main factors affecting these emissions is related to the rolling resistance of tyres. LÄS MER
