  2. 16. On Surface Topography of Steel Sheet for Car Bodies

    Author : Magnus Jonasson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; paint appearance; forming; steel sheet; bearing area; 3D surface roughness; area parameters; ball filter; friction; surface topography;

    Abstract : This thesis is a contribution to the scientific area of surface topography on sheet metal surfaces. The studies are restricted to exploring the influence of the steel sheet,s surface topography on forming properties and on appearance after painting. READ MORE

  4. 17. A typology of comparatives in Sinitic : grammaticalization, patterns and language contact

    Author : Ansaldo Umberto; David Gil; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; General Linguistics; allmän språkvetenskap;

    Abstract : This dissertation offers a window on the grammatical diversity of Chinese languages, hereafter referred to as Sinitic. It focuses in particular on comparative constructions of southern varieties such as Cantonese, Minnan and Hakka and compares these to northern Mandarin as well as some non- Sinitic languages of Southeast Asia.

  5. 18. Reproductive isolation at contact zones

    Author : Samuel Perini; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hybrid zone; gene flow; genetic variants; mating; local adaptation; marine species; speciation;

    Abstract : Speciation is among the most important evolutionary processes that contribute to biodiversity. It involves the formation of new species that have become reproductively isolated through a process that is not linear and varies in time and space. READ MORE

  6. 19. The effect of scale on the morphology, mechanics and transmissivity of single rock fractures

    Author : Nader Fardin; KTH; []
    Keywords : Anisotropy; Aperture; Asperity degradation; Contact area; Finite Element Method FEM ; Flow analysis; Fractals; Fracture morphology; Heterogeneity; Stress-deformation; Surface roughness; Roughness-Length method; Scale dependency; Stationarity; Transm;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the effect of scale on themorphology, mechanics and transmissivity of single rockfractures using both laboratory and in-situ experiments, aswell as numerical simulations. Using a laboratory 3D laserscanner, the surface topography of a large silicon-rubberfracture replica of size 1m x 1m, as well as the topography ofboth surfaces of several high-strength concrete fracturereplicas varying in size from 50mmx50mm to 200mm x 200mm, werescanned.

    Abstract : Tactile perception is considered an important contributor to the overall consumer experience of a product. However, what physical properties that create the specifics of tactile perception, are still not completely understood. READ MORE
