11. Asymptotics and dynamics in first-passage and continuum percolation
Sammanfattning : This thesis combines the study of asymptotic properties of percolation processes with various dynamical concepts. First-passage percolation is a model for the spatial propagation of a fluid on a discrete structure; the Shape Theorem describes its almost sure convergence towards an asymptotic shape, when considered on the square (or cubic) lattice.

12. 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
13. On the continuum muscle modeling
Sammanfattning : Modeling muscle behavior using techniques developed in continuum mechanics is a growing eld of research. The developed models allow for a more generalized way of computing stresses and deformations, specially, when it comes to using nite element techniques. LÄS MER
14. On the mechanics of actin and intermediate filament networks and their contribution to cellular mechanics
Sammanfattning : The mechanical behaviour of cells is essential in ensuring continued physiological function, and deficiencies therein can result in a variety of diseases. Also, altered mechanical response of cells can in certain cases be an indicator of a diseased state, and even actively promoting progression of pathology. LÄS MER
15. Continuum modelling of composites consolidation
Sammanfattning : This work describes the consolidation of commingled yarn-based thermoplastic composites. The consolidation operation involves deformation of the preform, wetting and compaction of fibre bundles, and resin flow through the preform. LÄS MER
