1. Development of a Novel QCM Technique for Protein Adsorption Studies
Abstract : The first part of this thesis (Papers I and II) is concentrated on the development of a novel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique to study protein adsorption. The second part (Papers III-V) is focused on the application of the technique on protein adsorption using well characterized surface-solution-protein systems. READ MORE

2. Fatigue of Asphalt Mixes - Theory of Viscoelasticity and Continuum Damage Mechanics Applied to Uniaxial Fatigue Data from Laboratory Tests
Abstract : The advance of analytic (mechanistic) design methods increases the need for fundamental material properties. Fatigue cracking due to traffic loading, in combination with permanent deformation (rutting), thermal cracking, irregularities, frost heave and reflective cracking are some of the major criteria used when designing an asphalt concrete pavement.

3. Electro-viscoelastic Modeling of Electroactive Polymers
Abstract : While traditionally treated separately, the research disciplines dealing with electromagnetic fields respectively continuum mechanics are naturally connected. Not only are the basic equations formulated in a similar way, but the presence of electromagnetic fields affect the balance equations of continuum mechanics and likewise, the presence of material continua affect the electromagnetic fields.

4. Joint Interface Effects on Machining System Vibration
Abstract : Vibration problems are still the major constraint in modern machining processes that seek higher material removal rate, shorter process time, longer tool life and better product quality. Depending on the process, the weaker structure element can be the tool/tool holder, workpiece/fixture or both. READ MORE

5. Anisotropy and non-linear effects in SMC composites : from material data to FE-simulation of structures
Abstract : In the design of composite structures for the automotive industry it is vital to have good tools because development time is very critical. Normally simulation of mechanical properties of sheet moulding compound (SMC) composite structures is stiffness based and limited to isotropic material model. READ MORE
