1. Fracture toughness of sea ice : development of a test system based on shevron notched specimens
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Adhesion to machined and laser ablated wood surfaces
Sammanfattning : This thesis is a contribution to the R&D-program ValueActivation at KTH,Division of Wood Technology and Processingand containsfive papers related to the evaluation and development ofmachining techniques (mechanical and irradiation treatments)whereby weak boundaries at the wood surfaces in the form of(mechanical) weak boundary layers and (micro) cracks due tomechanical treatment can be avoided.The first paper describes the development of a methodusing a UV laserto study the mechanically weakenedboundaries.

3. Modelling of fracture toughness using peridynamics : A Study of J-integral, essential work and homogenisation
Sammanfattning : Fracture toughness is one of the most important properties of a material. Being able toaccurately estimate the energy that goes into forming new crack surfaces is essential for the development of new materials, quality assurance, structural monitoring and failure analysis. LÄS MER
4. Fatigue and Corrosion Fatigue Fracture of a Plasma Nitrided, Laser Hardened, and Galvanized B-Mn Steel
Sammanfattning : Fundamental and technological aspects of fatigue and fracture of conventional and advanced material are topics of primary importance to the development of materials science and engineering. Surface treatments have been established to improve the surface properties of material against surface phenomenon such as wear, corrosion, fatigue and corrosion fatigue. LÄS MER
5. Fatigue of Heavy-Vehicle Engine Materials : Damage Mechanisms, Laboratory Experiments and Life Estimation
Sammanfattning : Due to increasing demands on sustainability exerted by end-costumers and policy makers, heavyvehicle manufacturers are urged to increase the engine efficiency in order to reduce the exhaust gas emission. However, increasing the efficiency is also associated with an elevated fatigue rate of the materials constituting the engine parts, which consequently reduces the engine service life. LÄS MER
