1. Modelling of fracture toughness using peridynamics : A Study of J-integral, essential work and homogenisation
Abstract : Fracture toughness is one of the most important properties of a material. Being able toaccurately estimate the energy that goes into forming new crack surfaces is essential for the development of new materials, quality assurance, structural monitoring and failure analysis. READ MORE

2. Tensile fracture of ice : test methods and fracture mechanics analysis
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with several aspects of fracture of both brackish (low salinity) sea ice and freshwater ice. The tests and analyses are confined to tensile, or in fracture mechanics language, Mode I, fracture. READ MORE

3. Micromechanics of oxides - From complex scales to single crystals
Abstract : Protective oxide scales shield high temperature materials from corrosion, thus ensuring safety and long material life under adverse operating conditions. Cracking and spallation of such scales can lead to fatigue crack initiation and expose the material to further oxidation. READ MORE

4. The fracture mechanisms in duplex stainless steels at sub-zero temperatures
Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to study the susceptibility for brittle failures and the fracture process of duplex stainless steels at sub-zero temperatures (°C). In the first part of the thesis plates of hot-rolled duplex stainless steel with various thicknesses were used to study the influence of delamination (also known as splits) on the fracture toughness.

5. 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.
