21. Experimental and numerical analysis of scratching of homogeneous materials
Abstract : Paper AAbstractA numerical strategy based on the finite element method and intended for an accurate analysis of the scratch test is presented. For simplicity, but not out of necessity,the material was described by classical Mises elastoplasticity utilising large deformation theory. READ MORE

22. New Experimental and Modelling Tools for Multiscale Characterization of Asphalt Mastic
Abstract : Asphalt mastics act as a binding phase in asphalt mixtures and their rheological properties strongly affect the performance of asphalt mixtures with respect to virtually all damage modes. In order to measure mastics properties, relevant for field performance, testing should be performed at size-scales representative for the morphology and material inhomogeneity of asphalt mixtures.

23. Application of artificial neural networks to rock engineering problems
Abstract : This thesis is intended to apply artificial neural network models to different rock engineering problems, such as the determination of aggregate quality parameters, rock indentation depth, ore boundaries and ore grades. The thesis deals with attempts at predictions of these various features from factors that are known or assumed to have an influence on them using artificial neural networks. READ MORE

24. Fracture mechanical modelling of embossed paper
Abstract : This thesis consists of two scientific papers on strength and fracture of embossed tissue paper. In Paper A an experimental study of embossed tissue paper is presented. The mechanical properties of most soft tissue paper are to a large extent governed by the creping and subsequent embossing process. READ MORE

25. Spark Plasma Sintered 3Y-TZP/CNT composites
Abstract : Composites of 3 mol% yttria-doped tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP) reinforced with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) up to 2 wt% have been produced using spark plasma sintering (SPS). The theoretical densities of the studied composites were found to be between 99.4 and 97.4 %. READ MORE
