1. On the mechanics of actin and intermediate filament networks and their contribution to cellular mechanics
Abstract : The mechanical behaviour of cells is essential in ensuring continued physiological function, and deficiencies therein can result in a variety of diseases. Also, altered mechanical response of cells can in certain cases be an indicator of a diseased state, and even actively promoting progression of pathology. READ MORE

2. On error controlled atomistic-to-continuum modeling with application to graphene monolayers
Abstract : In order to consider virtual materials, i.e. materials that are not manufactured yet, it can be advantageous to model physical phenomena on a lower length scale than the macroscopic one. In such a case, homogenization (or coarse-graining) can be a useful tool. READ MORE

3. Optimization in Continuum Flow Problems
Abstract : The work presented in this dissertation was carried out at the Division ofMechanics, Department of Management and Engineering at Link¨oping University,between 2003 and 2008. It was supervised by Prof. READ MORE

4. Continuum modelling of work hardening in precipitation hardened alloys
Abstract : This thesis deals with prediction of macroscopic work hardening in a precipitation hardened alloy. The focus is on the particle contribution. A hierarchical modelling approach is adopted where work hardening in a representative material volume on the microscale is homogenized and used to represent the macroscopic hardening. READ MORE

5. Continuum modelling of composites consolidation
Abstract : This work describes the consolidation of commingled yarn-based thermoplastic composites. The consolidation operation involves deformation of the preform, wetting and compaction of fibre bundles, and resin flow through the preform. READ MORE
