21. Moisture-induced distortion in timber structures - examples based on partition walls
Sammanfattning : The shape of timber changes due to variations in moisture content (MC). In Scandinavia, producers normally dry timber to an MC of 18%. However, after the studs are built into the wall structure, for example, they may become distorted as a result of further drying in the structure. The final MC in a heated building in Scandinavia is about 8%. LÄS MER
22. Leukocyte-endothelial interactions in arteries in vivo : a new concept in the study of physiology and disease in large blood vessels
Sammanfattning : Pathophysiological events in large blood vessels contribute to immense morbidity and mortality in our society. A major clinical problem is a disease known as atherosclerosis. It involves a slow inflammatory deposition of lipid within the walls of large arteries that with time will weaken the arterial wall. LÄS MER
23. Timber/Glass Adhesive Bonds for Structural Applications
Sammanfattning : Timber with its natural appearance and glass with its transparency may be appealing material for architects and users of modern buildings. Glass is a brittle material, but it is about six times stiffer than timber. Combined appropriately, the materials could form different types of composite products, e.g. LÄS MER
24. Numerical study of particle suspensions in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
Sammanfattning : Solid or deformable particles suspended in a viscous fluid are of scientific and technological interest in a broad range of applications. Pyroclastic flows from volcanoes, sedimentation flows in river bed, food industries, oil-well drilling, as well as blood flow in the human body and the motion of suspended micro-organisms in water (like plankton) are among the possible examples.

25. Deformation and failure of rock
Sammanfattning : In this doctoral thesis work the relationship between the deformation and the initiation of failure around an underground excavation was studied. In this work data from observed failure and measured deformations was used. This work is based on information obtained from laboratory test, underground field cases and numerical analysis. LÄS MER
