2. 6. Local variability in chemical and physical properties of spruce wood fibers

   Author : Anna Bergander; KTH; []
   Keywords : cell walls; chemical composition; elastic constants; elastic strength; Fiber properties; Fibril angles; Mathematical models; Microscopy techniques; Picea Abies; Stiffness; Tensile properties; Wood polymers; Wood;

   Abstract : Wood is well known to be a heterogeneous native materialwith large variations in its composite properties, includingvariations whose origins have not yet been completelyidentified. Traditionally, the macroscopic variations in woodhave received the most attention; for example, the variation indensity from the pith to the bark in trees. READ MORE

4. 7. Numerical study of particle suspensions in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids

   Author : Dhiya Alghalibi; Luca Brandt; Metin Muradoglu; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; inertial suspensions; rheology; non-Newtonian fluids; visco-elastic; sedimentation; deformable particle; hyper-elastic.; tröghetsbehäftad suspension; reologi; icke-Newtonska fluider; vis- koelastik; sedimentering; deformerbara partiklar; hyperelastik; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Solid or deformable particles suspended in a viscous fluid are of scientific and technological interest in a broad range of applications. Pyroclastic flows from volcanoes, sedimentation flows in river bed, food industries, oil-well drilling, as well as blood flow in the human body and the motion of suspended micro-organisms in water (like plankton) are among the possible examples.

5. 8. Thermodynamic and kinetic properties of Fe-Cr and TiC-ZrC alloys from Density Functional Theory

   Author : Vsevolod Razumovskiy; Pavel Korzhavyi; Andrei Ruban; Malin Selleby; Sergei Dudarev; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ab initio; first principles; point defects; vacancy clusters; alloys; steels; iron; carbides; diffusion; phase diagram; density functional theory; elastic constants; elastic properties; thermodynamic modelling;

   Abstract : The complete and accurate thermodynamic and kinetic description of any systemis crucialfor understanding and predicting its properties. A particular interest is in systemsthat are used for some practical applications and have to be constantly improved usingmodification of their composition and structure. READ MORE

6. 9. Elastic Wave Propagation in Anisotropic Media. Application to Ultrasonic NDT

   Author : A. Jonas Niklasson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; layered media; cylinders; cracks; integral equations; scattering; nondestructive testing; elastic waves; ultrasonics; transducers; anisotropy;

   Abstract : The subject of this thesis is elastic wave propagation in anisotropic materials with application to ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT). The first part of the thesis is concerned with modeling of ultrasonic transducers and wave propagation in anisotropic materials in general. First, a scalar 2-D case is considered. READ MORE

7. 10. Modelling tools for quieter vehicles : Waves in poro– and visco–elastic continua

   Author : Martin Östberg; Leif Kari; Jenny Jerrelind; Sergey Sorokin; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vibro-acoutics; poro-elastic; visco-elastic; reduced models; Harmonic expansion; wave guide;

   Abstract : New modelling tools intended to contribute to the development of components for quieter vehicles are developed. The tools are based on continuum models for wave propagation in poro– and visco–elastic media. By using geometric attributes of the studied components, the computational cost may be radically decreased compared to traditional methods. READ MORE
