1. Haptic and visual simulation of material cutting process : a study focused on bone surgery and the use of simulators for education and training
Abstract : A prototype of a haptic and virtual reality simulator has been developed for simulation of the bone milling and material removal process occurring in several operations, e.g. temporal bone surgery or dental milling. The milling phase of an operation is difficult, safety critical and very time consuming. READ MORE

2. Haptic Milling Simulation in Six Degrees-of-Freedom : With Application to Surgery in Stiff Tissue
Abstract : The research presented in this thesis describes a substantial part of the design of a prototypical surgical training simulator. The results are intended to be applied in future simulators used to educate and train surgeons for bone milling operations. READ MORE

4. Effect of Dwell-times on Crack Propagation in Superalloys
Abstract : Gas turbines are widely used in industry for power generation and as a power source at "hard to reach" locations where other possibilities for electrical supply are insufficient. There is a strong need for greener energy, considering the effect that pollution has had on global warming, and we need to come up with ways of producing cleaner electricity. READ MORE
