1. 1. Fractured Rock Masses as Equivalent Continua - A Numerical Study

   Författare :Ki-Bok Min; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :fractured rock masses; equivalent continuum; discrete fracture Network DFN ; Distinct Element Method DEM ; Finite Element Method FEM ; Nuclear Waste Disposal; Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical Processes;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, fractured rock masses are treated asequivalent continua for large-scale analyses of rockengineering projects. Systematic developments are made for thedetermination of equivalent mechanical and hydraulic propertiesof fractured rock masses using a hybrid discrete fracturenetwork - distinct element method (DFN-DEM) approach.

3. 2. Determination of equivalent hydraulic and mechanical properties of fractured rock masses using the distinct element method

   Författare :Ki-Bok Min; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :equivalent continuum approach; equivalent property; representative elementary volume; distinct element method;

   Sammanfattning : The equivalent continuum approach uses equivalent propertiesof rock mass as the input data for a continuum analysis. Thisis a common modeling method used in the field of rock mechanicsand hydrogeology. LÄS MER

4. 3. Upscaling of Flow, Transport, and Stress-effects in Fractured Rock

   Författare :Johan Öhman; Auli Niemi; Ove Stephansson; Robert W Zimmerman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; Upscaling; fractured media; flow; solute transport; thermo-hydro-mechanical processes; hybrid approach; continuum approximation; discrete fracture network; stochastic continuum; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

   Sammanfattning : One of many applications of geohydraulic modelling is assessing the suitability of a site to host a nuclear waste repository. This modelling task is complicated by scale-dependent heterogeneity and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes. LÄS MER

5. 4. On Methods for Discrete Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures

   Författare :Mats Werme; Krister Svanberg; Wolfgang Achtziger; KTH; []

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introduction and seven appended papers. The purpose of the introduction is to give an overview of the field of topology optimization of discretized load carrying continuum structures. LÄS MER

7. 5. On the Escape of Lyman Radiation from Local Galaxies

   Författare :Elisabet Leitet; Nils Bergvall; Erik Zackrisson; Bengt Gustafsson; Duilia F. De Mello; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galaxies; starbursts; spiral galaxies; Lyman continuum; Lyman alpha; leakage; cosmic reionization; escape fraction; Astronomy; Astronomi;

   Sammanfattning : Cosmic reionization was most likely initiated by star forming dwarf galaxies. Little is known about the physical mechanisms allowing ionizing Lyman continuum (LyC) photons to escape from galaxies, but to learn more we can study local galaxies in detail. LÄS MER
