1. Hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces
Abstract : Interacting surfaces are frequently found in mechanical systems and components. A lubricant is often added between the surfaces to separate them from mechanical contact in order to increase life and performance of the contacting surfaces. In this work various aspects of hydrodynamic lubrication are investigated theoretically. READ MORE

2. Lubrication, contact mechanics and leakage between rough surfaces
Abstract : Mechanical components with interacting surfaces are central in everyday life. Interactions between surfaces, such as the sliding, rolling and bouncing, on one another may be found everywhere. These surfaces are often required to withstand severe conditions resulting in wear, which may ultimately lead to failure. READ MORE

3. Friction in elasto hydrodynamically lubricated contacts : the influence of speed and slide to roll ratio
Abstract : Reducing losses in transmissions has become a high priority in the automotive market during recent years, mainly due to environmental concerns leading to regulations placed on the automotive industry to drive the development of vehicles with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Rising fuel prices and increasing environmental concerns have also made customers more prone to purchase more fuel efficient vehicles. READ MORE

4. Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference
Abstract : In this thesis we consider two very different topics in Bayesian phylogenetic inference. The first paper, "Inferring speciation and extinction rates under different sampling schemes" by Sebastian Höhna, Tanja Stadler, Fredrik Ronquist and Tom Britton, focuses on estimating the rates of speciation and extinction of species when only a subsample of the present day species is available.
