11. On the Experimental Determination of Damping of Metals and Calculation of Thermal Stresses in Solidifying Shells
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores experimentally and theoretically two different aspects of the properties and behaviour of metals: their ability to damp noise and their susceptibility to crack when solidifying. The first part concerns intrinsic material damping, and is motivated by increased demands from society for reductions in noise emissions. LÄS MER
12. Swelling and Mechanical Properties of Polymer Gels: Salt, Macroion and Network Topology Effects
Sammanfattning : The work in this thesis concerns polymer gels, especially their swelling and mechanical properties modelled using a coarse-grained model of polyelectrolytes. The method used to study polymer gels was molecular simulation utilising the simulation package MOLSIM. LÄS MER
13. Static and fatigue analyses of welded steel structures : some aspects towards lightweight design
Sammanfattning : The objectives of this thesis comprise of overcoming the challenges in designing lightweight welded structures such as material selection, choice of fatigue design methods, and increased performance by using improvement techniques. Material selection of welded joints is dependent on the filler and base material strengths. LÄS MER
14. Modelling of Inelastic Effects in Metal Sheets and Identification of Material Parameters
Sammanfattning : The continuum modelling of the macroscopic behaviour of metallic sheets and the identification of corresponding material parameters for models selected are dealt with in the thesis. Thermodynamics with internal variables provides a framework for the derivation of the models. LÄS MER
15. Residual stresses, fatigue and deformation in cast iron
Sammanfattning : The complex geometry of cylinder heads in heavy-duty diesel engines makes grey iron or compact graphite iron a preferred material choice due to its price, castability, thermal conductivity and damping capacity. Today’s strict emission laws have increased the demands on engine performance and engine efficiency. LÄS MER
