11. Block stability analysis using deterministic and probabilistic methods
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a discussion of design tools for analysing block stability around a tunnel. First, it was determined that joint length and field stress have a significant influence on estimating block stability. LÄS MER
12. Theoretical Investigation of the Effect of Interface Dielectric Properties on Electric Double Layer Interactions
Sammanfattning : Results for a simple model of interacting electric double layers are presented for the geometry of two parallel planar walls. The wall and solution media are described as dielectric continua, characterized by their frequency dependent dielectric functions. LÄS MER
13. Numerical simulation of kinetic effects in ionospheric plasma
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we study numerically the one-dimensional Vlasov equation for a plasma consisting of electrons and infinitely heavy ions. This partial differential equation describes the evolution of the distribution function of particles in the two-dimensional phase space (x,v). LÄS MER
14. Fluid dynamics and flow structures of wood fibres suspended in gas flows
Sammanfattning : The flow of wood fibres suspended in gas plays a major role in the MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) production process. Development of machinery in this industry has traditionally been based on experience. Only recently has the use of numerical methods such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) become an important part of the development process. LÄS MER
15. Density Functional Theory Studies of Small Supported Gold Clusters and Related Questions : What a Difference an Atom Makes
Sammanfattning : During the last decades the specific manipulation of matter on the (sub-) nanometer scale, also known as nanoscience, became possible by technologies such as the scanning tunneling microscope. Nanocatalysts, i.e. catalytic active structures of up to a few nanometers in size, belong to this rather new class of materials. LÄS MER
