  2. 1. Revealing invisible strain : Magnetic Fabric Analysis as Strain Indicator in Analogue Models and Nature

    Author : Thorben Schöfisch; 0000-0002-1872-052x Hemin; Bjarne Almqvist; Stefan Luth; Ian Alsop; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analogue Modelling; Magnetic Fabric Analysis; AMS; Strain distribution; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot mineralogi; petrologi och tektonik; Earth Science with specialization in Mineral Chemistry; Petrology and Tectonics;

    Abstract : Strain is accommodated by folding, thrusting and an “invisible” component, known as penetrative strain. Magnetic fabric analysis allows for identification and quantification of this imperceivable strain. In this thesis, magnetic fabric analysis is applied to quantify strain in analogue sandbox models.

  4. 2. Effects of deep excavations in soft clay on the immediate sourroundings-Analysis of the possibility to predict deformations and reactions against the retaining system

    Author : Anders Kullingsjö; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MIT-S1; Sheet pile wall; Soil-structure interaction; Strain; Stress; Ground surface settlement; Finite element method; Case history; Shear test; Shear strength; Pore pressure; Analysis; Constitutive models; Plane strain; Elastoplasticity; Laboratory tests; Factor of safety; Stiffness; e-ADP; Earth pressure; Anisotropy; Soft Clay; Deep excavation; Retaining wall; Shear stress; Deformation;

    Abstract : When excavating in an urban environment, the evaluation of the magnitude and distribution of ground movements is an important part of the design process, since excessive movements can damage adjacent buildings and utilities. In order to minimize movement of the surrounding soil, a retaining wall support system is used for deep excavations to provide lateral support. READ MORE

  5. 3. Quantifying strain in analogue models simulating fold-and-thrust belts using magnetic fabric analysis

    Author : Thorben Schöfisch; Hemin Koyi; Bjarne Almqvist; Stefan Luth; Ram Weinberger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; analogue modelling; AMS; fold-and-thrust belt; strain distribution; décollement friction; magnetic fabric analysis;

    Abstract : Applying the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility to analogue models provides detailed insights into the strain distribution and quantification of deformation within contractional tectonic settings like fold-and-thrust belts (FTBs). Shortening in FTBs is accommodated by layer-parallel shortening, folding, and thrusting. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quantitative Electron Microscopy Studies of Metal Nanoparticle Catalysts: Nanostructure, Support Interaction and Ageing Effects

    Author : Torben Nilsson Pingel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CO oxidation; strain; ageing; specimen preparation; scanning electron microscopy SEM ; FIB SEM; supported nanoparticle catalyst; transmission electron microscopy TEM ; particle size distribution PSD ; platinum;

    Abstract : Heterogeneous catalysis plays a major role in modern society, for example in chemical production, sustainable energy production and emission control technologies. Metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on oxide materials are frequent catalytic systems in this field. READ MORE

  7. 5. Multiscale granular mechanics: A neutron diffraction based experimental approach

    Author : Stefanos Athanasopoulos; Hållfasthetslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Granular media; Neutron diffraction; Plane-strain apparatus; Stress distribution; Localised stress-strain;

    Abstract : Granular media (i.e., assemblies of grains, containing voids), such as sand, are highly complex materials, possessing inherently heterogeneous structure and properties that are manifested by the mobility and interaction of their constituent particles. Despite having been widely studied for centuries (i. READ MORE
