22. Phase Phenomena in Polymer Networks : Empirical Studies on the Influence of Hydrophobicity, Charge Density and Crosslinks on Macroion-Induced Phase Transitions in Polyelectrolyte Gels
Abstract : The thesis concerns polyelectrolyte gels in contact with oppositely charged proteins and surfactant micelles, and includes of four papers (I-IV). In paper I confocal Raman spectroscopy was introduced as a method to trace micelles and investigate the structure of gel-surfactant complexes, in phase separated gel spheres. READ MORE

24. Crack growth paths in rolling contact fatigue — Numerical predictions
Abstract : Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) cracks in railway wheels and rails are costly and complex to deal with. Despite the extensive research efforts that have been put into understanding the mechanisms and developing appropriate predictive models for RCF crack growth, there are still a lot of open questions.

25. Elastic-Plastic Fracture Mechanics and RCF in Rails
Abstract : This thesis concerns issues regarding the modeling and numerical simulation of singularcracks and their propagation in the context of Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) in rails.Typically, such cracks are associated with squats and head-checks in the rail head. READ MORE
