  2. 16. Beam-to-Beam Contact and Its Application to Micromechanical Simulation of Fiber Networks

    Author : Hamid Reza Motamedian; Artem Kulachenko; Umberto Perego; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fiber network; beam-to-beam contact; rotational contact; non-consistent; simulation; finite element; multiscale; microscale; micromechanics; paper; refining; beating; fine; hygroexpansion; shrinkage; drying; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis covers the topic of modeling the three-dimensional fiber net- works with the finite element method. It contains the part addressing the numerical aspects of the modeling, namely, the contact formulation and application of the developed methods to the fundamental questions such as the effect of randomness in fiber properties and effect of fines and hygroexpansion.

  4. 17. Ionic liquids in bio-refining : synthesis and applications

    Author : John Gräsvik; Jyri-Pekka Mikkola; Bertil Eliasson; Manu Lahtinen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ionic liquid; Joniska vätskor;

    Abstract : Fossil fuel resources are not limitless so alternative renewable recourses are needed to fill the void that inevitably will be created once the supplies of this resource start do dwindle. Biomass has the potential to fill this void. READ MORE
