1. Damage accumulation and stiffness degradation in composite laminates
Abstract : In the presented thesis analytical modeling of elastic properties degradation and modeling of damage evolution in composite laminates is performed. Transverse cracking initiation on a fiber/matrix level is briefly studied by testing model composites and cross-ply laminates. READ MORE

2. Degradation of thermo-elastic properties in damaged composite laminates : a theoretical study
Abstract : Fiber composites are today widely used in different load carrying structures. The main reason is their high stiffness and strength to weight ratio. Due to these specific properties they are frequently used in car, marine and space industry. READ MORE

3. Prediction of springback in sheet metal forming: with emphasis on material modeling
Abstract : The prediction of springback is probably the area in sheet metal forming simulation, where the least success has been achieved in terms solution accuracy. The springback is caused by the release of the residual stresses in the work piece after the forming stage. READ MORE

5. Mechanics of microdamage development and stiffness degradation in fiber composites
Abstract : Damage in composites reduces its performance and durability and thus its usefulness. The common subject in all papers presented in the licentiate thesis is distributed microdamage, and the materials of interest are a Hemp/Lignin natural composite and glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastics composites.
