11. Experiments and modelling of fracture initiation at impact
Sammanfattning : The thesis addresses different questions, each necessary in the understanding of dynamic fracture initiation and crack propagation in steel. Emphasis lays on dynamic crack propagation experiments performed in the ductile to brittle transition region and possible conclusions, that can be drawn from them. LÄS MER
12. Towards energy-based fracture modelling for crashworthiness applications
Sammanfattning : The automotive industry is currently adapting to progessively more stringent emission and safety regulations imposed by governmental agencies. This introduces significant design difficulties due to the conflicting nature of passenger safety in automotive manufacturing, namely that increased crashworthiness generally leads to heavier vehicles, which in turn leads to more severe crashes.

13. Modeling of Inelastic Response of Metals with Emphasis on Cyclic Viscoplasticity
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the continuum modeling of the macroscopic behavior of engineering metals, in particular as part of life prediction strategies. Focus is primarily placed on the formulation and numerics of models for cyclic rate-dependent response. LÄS MER
14. Concrete Structures Subjected to Fragment Impacts
Sammanfattning : As concrete is commonly used for protective structures, how a blast wave and fragment impacts from an explosion affect the concrete is an important issue. Concrete subjected to explosive loading responds very differently from statically loaded structures. LÄS MER
15. Brain injury biomechanics in closed-head impact : studies on injury epidemiology, tolerance criteria, biomechanics and traffic injury prevention
Sammanfattning : Permanent disability from traumatic brain injury is a devastating consequence of traffic crashes. Injury prevention is a fruitful approach to reduce the incidence and severity of disabling brain injury. LÄS MER
