2. 1. Rock Mass Response to Coupled Mechanical Thermal Loading : Äspö Pillar Stability Experiment, Sweden

   Author : J. Christer Andersson; Håkan Stille; Charles Fairhurst; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Yielding; Spalling; Rock mass strength; Confinement; Fracturing; Tensile failure; Shear failure; Displacement; Acoustic Emission; Heating; Stress; Back calculation; Radial expansion; Mining engineering; Gruvteknik;

   Abstract : The geological disposal of nuclear waste, in underground openings and the long-term performance of these openings demand a detailed understanding of fundamental rock mechanics. A full scale field experiment: Äspö Pillar Stability Experiment was conducted at a depth of 450 m in sparsely fractured granitic rock to examine the rock mass response between two deposition holes.

4. 2. Wind-turbine wakes - Effects of yaw, shear and turbine interaction

   Author : Elektra Kleusberg; Dan Henningson; Philipp Schlatter; Stefan Ivanell; Johan Meyers; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind-turbine wakes; yaw; tip-vortex breakdown; shear; computational fluid dynamics; actuator-line method; spectral-element method; Vindturbinsvakar; girning; turbulent nedbrott hos spetsvirvlar; skjuvning; vakinteraktion; beräkningsströmningsdynamik; actuator line-metod; spektralelementmetod; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : The actuator-line method is used together with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations to investigate the flow development behind wind turbines. Initial investigations focus on providing a thorough validation of the implementation in the spectral-element flow solver Nek5000 against existing numerical and experimental datasets. READ MORE

5. 3. Numerical modelling of fluid flow and particle transport in rough rock fracture during shear

   Author : Tomofumi Koyama; Lahru Jing; Auli Niemi; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; single rock fracture; coupled stress-flow test; shear displacement; fluid flow; particle; Geoengineering; Geoteknik;

   Abstract : The effects of different shearing processes and sample sizes on the fluid flow anisotropy and its impact on particle transport process in rough rock fractures are significant factors that need to be considered in the performance and safety assessments of underground nuclear waste repositories. The subjects, however, have not been adequately investigated previously in either laboratory experiments or numerical modeling. READ MORE

6. 4. Behaviour of fracture process zones in concrete influenced by simultaneously applied normal and shear displacements

   Author : Manouchehr Hassanzadeh; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; softening; mixed mode; fictitious crack model; concrete; deformationer; betong; brottmekanik; hållfasthet; brotthållfasthet; spänningar; skjuvspänningar; sprickor; beräkningsmodeller; brottenergi; teori; laboratorieförsök; interlock; crack path; diagonal crack; microcracking; instability; fracture energy; fracture mechanics; shear; tension; process zone;

   Abstract : The thesis deals with the determination of the post peak behaviour of concrete in pure tension, and combined tension (compression) and shear. A test arrangement has been developed in order to determine the post peak behaviour of concrete expressed as stress - displacement curves. READ MORE

7. 5. Predicting shear type crack initiation and growth in concrete with non-linear finite element method

   Author : Richard Malm; Håkan Sundquist; Anders Ansell; Kent Gylltoft; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-linear finte element analysis; concrete; crack width; crack propagation; shear; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract :   In this thesis, the possibility to numerically describing the behaviour that signifies shear type cracking in concrete is studied. Different means for describing cracking are evaluated where both methods proposed in design codes based on experiments and advanced finite element analyses with a non-linear material description are evaluated.
