16. Stochastic finite element simulations of real life frontal crashes : With emphasis on chest injury mechanisms in near-side oblique loading conditions
Abstract : Introduction. Road traffic injuries are the eighth leading cause of death globally and the leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29. Of individuals killed or injured in road traffic injuries, a large group comprises occupants sustaining a thorax injury in frontal crashes. The elderly are particularly at risk, as they are more fragile. READ MORE

17. Finite element methods for multiscale/multiphysics problems
Abstract : In this thesis we focus on multiscale and multiphysics problems. We derive a posteriori error estimates for a one way coupled multiphysics problem, using the dual weighted residual method. READ MORE

18. Finite element methods on surfaces
Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to improve numerical simulations of surface problems. Two novel computational concepts are analyzed and applied on two surface problems; minimal surface problems and elastic membrane problems. READ MORE

19. Active Muscle Responses in a Finite Element Human Body Model
Abstract : The development of automotive safety systems is moving towards an integration of systems thatare active before and during an impact. Consequently, there is a need to make a combinedanalysis of both the pre-crash and the in-crash phases, which leads to new requirements forHuman Body Models (HBMs) that today are used for crash simulations.

20. Patch loading of stainless steel girders : experiments and finite element analyses
Abstract : This thesis deals with the behaviour of stainless steel girders subjected to patch loading. The current loading situation arises for example at beam- column connections or at crane girders where the load is travelling along a girder. At bridge launching it is also important to consider patch loading. READ MORE
