  2. 1. Digital lines, Sturmian words, and continued fractions

    Author : Hanna Uscka-Wehlou; Christer Oscar Kiselman; Maciej Klimek; Gunilla Borgefors; Mikael Passare; Damien Jamet; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; digital geometry; digital line; hierarchy of runs; combinatorics on words; Sturmian word; upper mechanical word; characteristic word; irrational slope; continued fraction; Gauss map; fixed point; Discrete mathematics; Diskret matematik; matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : In this thesis we present and solve selected problems arising from digital geometry and combinatorics on words. We consider digital straight lines and, equivalently, upper mechanical words with positive irrational slopes a... READ MORE

  4. 2. Topics in algorithmic, enumerative and geometric combinatorics

    Author : Ragnar Freij; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Discrete Morse theory; simplicial G-complex; centrally symmetric polytope; split graph; derangement; pattern packing; composition; finite poset; optimal stopping; secretary problem.; finite poset;

    Abstract : This thesis presents five papers, studying enumerative and extremal problems on combinatorial structures. The first paper studies Forman's discrete Morse theory in the case where a group acts on the underlying complex. READ MORE

  5. 3. Flow and Compression of Granulated Powders : The Accuracy of Discrete Element Simulations and Assessment of Tablet Microstructure

    Author : Ann-Sofie Persson; Göran Frenning; Göran Alderborn; Marie Wahlgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Discrete Element Method; Granule; Flow; Angle of Repose; Discharge Rate; Shear; Rolling friction; Compression; Elastic deformation; Microstructure; Degree of compression; Tensile strength; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

    Abstract : Simulations are powerful and important tools for gaining insight into powder processes. Ultimately, simulations have the potential to replace experiments. Thus, accurate models and insight into the essential factors for descriptions of powder behaviour are required. READ MORE

  6. 4. Discrete element simulation of elasto-plastic shock waves in high-velocity compaction

    Author : Muhammad Shoaib; Leaf Kari; Bruska Azhdar; Wim Desmet; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High-velocity compaction; Discrete element method; Plastic deformaiton; dynaimic loading; elasto-plastic shock wave; Friction; Adhesion; Physics; Fysik; Järnvägsgruppen - Ljud och vibrationer; Järnvägsgruppen - Ljud och vibrationer;

    Abstract : Elasto-plastic shock waves in high-velocity compaction of spherical metal particles are the focus of this thesis which consists of four papers (A-D). The compaction process is modeled by a discrete element method while using elastic and plastic loading, elastic unloading and adhesion at contacts. READ MORE

  7. 5. Discrete element modelling of the mechanical behaviour of lithium-ion battery electrode layers

    Author : Axel Lundkvist; Per-Lennart Larsson; Pär Jonsén; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lithium-ion batteries; mechanical characterisation; simulations; contact mechanics; discrete element method; Litiumjonbatterier; mekanisk karakterisering; simuleringar; kontaktmekanik; diskret elementmetod; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics; Solid Mechanics; Hållfasthetslära;

    Abstract : Since their introduction in the late 20th century, lithium-ion batteries have become the leading battery technology for portable devices and electric vehicles due to their high energy density and rechargeability. However, the increasing demand for a longer battery life span is hindered by the fading of the battery’s charge capacity over prolonged use. READ MORE
