  4. 2. Continuum models and numerical methods for fretting

    Author : Peter Ireman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study is concerned with continuum models and numerical methods for wear, frictional heat and damage. Of special interest are so called fretting phenomena. Fretting occurs when two bodies in contact experience small periodic, relative motion which leads to wear and the promoted initiation of fatigue cracks. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling of laser plasma interaction with applications

    Author : Benjamin Svedung Wettervik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; electron wakefield acceleration; ion acceleration; coherent X-ray pulses; plasma; Vlasov-Maxwell equations; continuum methods; radiation generation;

    Abstract : The development of laser systems with ultra-high intensities has both opened up prospects for compact particle accelerators, as well as probing QED-effects, which are present in the high intensity regime. To describe laser matter interaction, it is necessary to self-consistently account for the paths of a large number of particles and the corresponding electromagnetic fields, with the addition of stochastic effects at high laser intensities.
