2. 1. Phase field modeling of flaw-induced hydride precipitation kinetics in metals

   Author : Claudio F. Nigro; Christer Persson; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydride; phase field theory; linear elastic fracture mechanics; finite element method; phase transformation; hydrogen embrittlement; finite volume method;

   Abstract : Hydrogen embrittlement can manifest itself as hydride formation in structures when in contact with hydrogen-rich environments, e.g. in space and nuclear power applications. To supplant experimentation, modeling of such phenomena is beneficial to make life prediction reduce cost and increase the understanding. READ MORE

4. 2. Phase-field modeling of stress-induced precipitation and kinetics in engineering metals

   Author : Claudio F. Nigro; Christina Bjerkén; Ylva Mellbin; Pär A T Olsson; Reinhart Pippan; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phase-field theory; finite element method; corrosion; finite volume method; phase transformation; hydride; hydrogen embrittlement; linear elastic fracture mechanics;

   Abstract : The formation of brittle compounds in metals operating in corrosive environments can be a tremendous source of embrittlement for industrial structures and such phenomenon is commonly enhanced in presence of stresses. To study this type of microstructural change modeling is preferred to experiment to reduce costs and prevent undesirable environmental impacts. READ MORE

5. 3. Railway Wheel Flats. Martensite Formation, Residual Stresses, and Crack Propagation

   Author : Johan Jergeus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sliding contact; metallographic investigation; crack propagation; thermal shock; constitutive modelling; phase transformations; railway wheel flats; full-scale field experiments; transformation plasticity; tread damage; residual stresses; spalling; martensite formation;

   Abstract : A railway wheel flat is a flat spot on the rolling surface of a wheel caused by its unintentional sliding on the rail. The reason for the sliding may be poorly adjusted, frozen or defect brakes, or too high braking forces in relation to the available wheel/rail adhesion. READ MORE

6. 4. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach

   Author : Winston Mmari; Björn Johannesson; Lynn Schreyer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Moisture transport; Coupled heat and moisture; Over-hygroscopic; Hybrid mixture theory; Mixture theory; Swelling; Hygro-mechanical; Non-linear elasticity; Large deformation; Phase field crack model; Anisotropic cracking; FEM; Numerical model; Norway spruce; Wood; Porous media; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. READ MORE

7. 5. On Crack Dynamics in Brittle Heterogeneous Materials

   Author : Jenny Carlsson; Per Isaksson; Urban Wiklund; Cecilia Persson; Ralf Denzer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering science with specialization in Applied Mechanics; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad mekanik;

   Abstract : Natural variation, sub-structural features, heterogeneity and porosity make fracture modelling of wood and many other heterogeneous and cellular materials challenging. In this thesis, fracture in such complicated materials is simulated using phase field methods for fracture. READ MORE
