21. FEM and Scientific Visualisation as Tools in Furniture Design
Abstract : In the design process, knowledge of structural mechanics is often reduced to its use in determining whether the object that has been designed is sufficiently strong. Strength testing indicates this directly on a yes or no basis, whereas computations are able to quantify the degree of strength. READ MORE

22. Fractured Rock Masses as Equivalent Continua - A Numerical Study
Abstract : In this thesis, fractured rock masses are treated asequivalent continua for large-scale analyses of rockengineering projects. Systematic developments are made for thedetermination of equivalent mechanical and hydraulic propertiesof fractured rock masses using a hybrid discrete fracturenetwork - distinct element method (DFN-DEM) approach.

23. Tooth Interior Fatigue Fracture&Robustness of Gears
Abstract : The demands the automotive gear designer has to considerduring the gear design process have changed. To design a gearthat will not fail is still a challenging task, but now lownoise is also a main objective. Both customers and legalregulations demand noise reduction of gears. Moreover, thequality of the product is more in focus than ever before. READ MORE

24. Moisture-induced stress and distortion of wood : A numerical and experimental study of wood's drying and long-term behaviour
Abstract : With the current advances made in three-dimensional modelling of wood, it is possible to provide an overall picture of moisture flow, and moisture-induced stress and deformations, whereas previously, experiments only provided local measurements. The main aim of the doctoral thesis is to investigate the possibilities of the developed three-dimensional numerical model to predict the behaviour of wood when simultaneously exposed to a mechanical load and a particular climate.

25. Adaptive structural design - Integration of computational tools for CAD, adaptive FEM and optimization
Abstract : BackgroundConstruction is one of the largest industries with major impact on economy, environment and society. Improved structural design is important since the decisions made during the design process strongly influence all later stages, i.e. READ MORE
