1. Modeling of dielectrophoresis in micro and nano systems
Abstract : This thesis presents models and simulations of dielectrophoretic separation of micro and nano particles. The fluid dynamics involved and the dielectric properties of water inside single-walled carbon nanotube are studied as well. READ MORE

2. A Study on Sandwich Structures : Development, Mechanical Characterization and Numerical Modeling
Abstract : Legislative demands force the automotive industry to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, crashworthiness must not be compromised. A ve-hicle’s GHG emissions, such as carbon dioxide, is dependent on its fuel consump-tion. Lowering the vehicle weight, reducing fuel consumption, will therefor reduce emissions. READ MORE

3. Linear and Nonlinear Mechanics of Lattice Materials : Computational Modelling and Experiments
Abstract : Lattice materials are artificial materials made of repeating unit-cells. The internal architecture of these materials can be engineered for a specific application such as energy absorption, heat transfer, or acoustic damping. READ MORE

4. Numerical methods and multi-scale modeling for phase-field fracture - With applications in linear elastic and poro-elastic media
Abstract : This thesis presents novel numerical methods and a multi-scale modelling framework tailored for advancing the phase-field fracture model with applications in linear elastic and poro-elastic media. In the realm of the numerical methods, the focus lies on devising computationally efficient and robust monolithic solution techniques. READ MORE

5. A Realizable Hybrid Mixture-Bubble Model for Cavitating Flows
Abstract : Cavitating multi-phase flows include an extensive range of cavity structures with different length scales, from micro bubbles to large sheet cavities that may fully cover the surface of a device. To avoid high computational expenses, incompressible transport equation models are considered a practical option for simulation of large scale cavitating flows, normally with limited representation of the small scale vapour structures.
