1. Moisture-induced Distortion in Norway Spruce Timber - Experiments and Models
Sammanfattning : Timber is a natural material that is environmentally friendly, renewable, light, strong and, in the eyes of most people, beautiful. Timber does, however, have one important drawback when it is used in a modern mechanised building process - its lack of straightness. LÄS MER
2. Mechano-sorptive Creep in Wood - Experimental Studies of the Influence of Material Properties
Sammanfattning : Mechano-sorptive creep deformations appear when wood is loaded under varying moisture conditions. These creep deformations are known to be larger than the creep deformations under constant humidity conditions. The present thesis deals with mechano-sorptive creep in Norway spruce wood. LÄS MER
3. On the Volume Changes during the Solidification of Cast Irons and Peritectic Steels
Sammanfattning : This thesis work deals with the volume changes during the solidification of cast irons and peritectic steels. The volume changes in casting metals are related to the expansion and/or contraction of the molten metal during solidification. Often, different types of shrinkage, namely macro- and micro-shrinkage, affect the casting quality. LÄS MER
4. Aerobic fitness and healthy brain aging : cognition, brain structure, and dopamine
Sammanfattning : Background: Performing aerobic exercise and maintaining high levels of aerobic fitness may have positive effects on both brain structure and function in older adults. Despite decades of research however, there is still a rather poor understanding of the neurocognitive mechanisms explaining the positive effects of aerobic exercise on cognition. LÄS MER
5. Micromechanical Modelling of Wood and Fibre Properties
Sammanfattning : Wood is a material with mechanical properties that vary markedly, both within a tree and among trees. Moisture changes lead to shrinkage or swelling and modify the mechanical properties. LÄS MER
