1. Modelling of Mass and Heat Transport in Paper - Evaluation of Mechanisms and Shrinkage
Abstract : In this work a one-dimensional model for the mass and heat transport in the thickness direction of paper has been developed. Solid-based coordinates were applied to simplify incorporation of shrinkage. Liquid diffusion, gas convection and vapour and air diffusion were incorporated as mass transport mechansims. READ MORE

2. Laboratory method for the study of moisture-induced waviness in paper
Abstract : Paper that is subjected to moisture undergoes dimensional changes. It expands during moistening and shrinks during drying. When the paper is under tension between rollers, the effects are complex since shrinkage and expansion are restricted in the width direction. Waves can then appear on the paper web. READ MORE

3. Beam-to-Beam Contact and Its Application to Micromechanical Simulation of Fiber Networks
Abstract : This doctoral thesis covers the topic of modeling the three-dimensional fiber net- works with the finite element method. It contains the part addressing the numerical aspects of the modeling, namely, the contact formulation and application of the developed methods to the fundamental questions such as the effect of randomness in fiber properties and effect of fines and hygroexpansion.

4. Micro-mechanical characterization and modeling of paper and paperboard
Abstract : Fiber networks made of cellulose fibers from trees are used as information carriers (paper) and as packaging (paperboard). This thesis investigates the mechanical performance of paper and paperboard via micro-mechanical modeling and presents new methods for the mechanical characterization of the micro scale, necessary in such models.

5. Non-Invasive Multidimensional Imaging Applied on Biological Substances
Abstract : This thesis presents the research and development of a microwave in-strument to capture tomographic information from the inner structure ofthe biological sample. The principle of the instrument is based on theanisotropy introduced by the fibres in materials such as wood and musclesin terms of information regarding changes in the fibre structure. READ MORE
