7. Hip fractures : A biomechanical analysis of fracture strength prediction, prevention, and repair
Abstract : Due to the aging population, hip fracture incidence has been increasing over the past decades. Measurements of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry are the gold standard for hip fracture risk assessment, where patients with a low bone density have a high risk of fracture.

8. Numerical simulations of blast loaded steel plates for improved vehicle protection
Abstract : In the past decade, there has been an increasing demand from governments for high level protections for military vehicles against explosives. However, the design and validation of protection is a time consuming and expensive process, where previous experience plays an important role. READ MORE

9. Mechanical Characterization of Heterogeneous Brittle Materials
Abstract : Comminution is one of the highest energy-consuming processes in the mining and mineral processing industry by consuming around 2% of the global generated energy with an overall efficiency of 1-3%. Different approaches to the optimization of processes have been developed, but there is still room for improvement. READ MORE

10. Methods for mechanical testing based on analysis of elastic waves in rods
Abstract : This thesis summarizes six papers on development and applications of a method to evaluate the normal force and particle velocity at any cross-section of a nonuniform rod from measurements of strain at two different cross-sections. In Paper A the method is developed. It is an extension of that developed by Lundberg and Henchoz for uniform rods. READ MORE
