  2. 21. Rock grouting design: Rheological aspects and radial flow visualizations with ultrasound

    Author : John Shamu; Stefan Larsson; Ulf Håkansson; Liangchao Zou; Chadi El Mohtar; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cement grouts; grouting; yield stress fluid YSF ; thixotropy; critical shear rate; radial flow; wall slip; Bingham model; Cementbaserade injekteringsmedels; injektering; icke-Newtonska vätskors; tixotropi; kritisk deformationshastigheten; radiella strömning; glidning; Bingham modell; Jord- och bergmekanik; Soil and Rock Mechanics;

    Abstract : The rheological properties of cement-based grouts play a crucial role indetermining the final spread in grouted rock formations. In rheological terms,cement grouts are known to be complex time-dependent yield stress fluids,but their steady flow behavior is often described by the simple Binghamconstitutive law. READ MORE

  4. 22. Nonlinear pulse propagation and saturation gain grating phenomena in optical fiber devices

    Author : Evgeny V. Vanin; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nonlinear effects are known to influence the propagation ofoptical waves in fibers already at modest power levels. Thisprovides us with a unique tool to observe nonlinear phenomenaunder comparatively simple experimental conditions and alsoopens the door to numerous important applications. READ MORE

  5. 23. Analysis and Applications of Heterogeneous Multiscale Methods for Multiscale Partial Differential Equations

    Author : Doghonay Arjmand; Olof Runborg; Marcus Grote; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Numerical homogenization; long time wave propagation; multiscale PDEs; Tillämpad matematik och beräkningsmatematik; Applied and Computational Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis centers on the development and analysis of numerical multiscale methods for multiscale problems arising in steady heat conduction, heat transfer and wave propagation in heterogeneous media. In a multiscale problem several scales interact with each other to form a system which has variations over a wide range of scales. READ MORE

  6. 24. Models for analysis of young cast and sprayed concrete subjected to impact-type loads

    Author : Lamis Ahmed; Anders Ansell; Richard Malm; Lennart Elfgren; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Young concrete · Shotcrete · Rock · Impact-type vibration · Finite element method · Fracture mechanics model · Crack width;

    Abstract : The strive for a time-efficient construction process naturally put focus on the possibility of reducing the time of waiting between stages of construction, thereby minimizing the construction cost. If recently placed concrete, cast or sprayed, is exposed to impact vibrations at an early age while still in the process of hardening, damage that threatens the function of the hard concrete may occur.

  7. 25. Dynamic Modelling of Physical Processes in Magmatic Systems: Dyke Emplacement and Flow-Induced Crystal Rotations

    Author : Rémi Vachon; Christoph F. Hieronymus; Janine Kavanagh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Numerical solutions; elasticity and anelesticity; fracturing; magmatic plumbing system; sheet-like intrusions; rheology of the crust; physics of magma; solid mechanics; fluid flow; crystal rotation;

    Abstract : The main motivation for this thesis is to develop and improve numerical tools and methods that help further our comprehension of the volcanic plumbing system and its dynamics.The commonly used standard elastic model predicts solutions of dyke shape, thickness, over-pressure and fracturing criteria that do not always fit natural observations.
