16. Deployment Control of Spinning Space Webs and Membranes
Abstract : Future solar sail and solar power satellite missions require deployment of large and lightweight flexible structures in space. One option is to spin the assembly and use the centrifugal force for deployment, stiffening and stabilization. READ MORE

17. Metamodel-Based Design Optimization : A Multidisciplinary Approach for Automotive Structures
Abstract : Automotive companies are exposed to tough competition and therefore strive to design better products in a cheaper and faster manner. This challenge requires continuous improvements of methods and tools, and simulation models are therefore used to evaluate every possible aspect of the product. READ MORE

18. Flexible Composites - Strength, Deformation and Fracture Proecesses in Woven and D.O.S. Reinforcement Materials
Abstract : In this thesis the tensile strength, deformation, damage resistance and tear propagation for flexible composites are analysed. There are two essential requirements common to all flexible composites; namely, high tearing strength and good matrix-to-fabric adhesion. The interaction of fabric and matrix is complex. READ MORE

19. Luminescence properties of flexible conjugated dyes
Abstract : In this licentiate thesis the luminescence properties of two flexible conjugated dyes have been studied. The first, Pt1, is a platinum(II) acetylide chromophore used in optical power limiting materials. READ MORE

20. Validation of heavy vehicle loading responses and temperature predictions in flexible pavements using field data
Abstract : It is well established that both traffic-related loading and environmental conditions influence the structural behaviour of pavements. Pavement design methods aim to consider the effect of traffic loading and environmental variables on pavement structure, foresee their changes during the lifetime of the pavement and predict the resulting distresses and pavement life.
