1. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach
Abstract : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. READ MORE

2. Dielectric Properties of Liquid-Impregnated Porous Solids
Abstract : Dielectric spectroscopy is a versatile tool that can often be used as a non-destructive, indirect way of measuring other important properties (such as content of crude oil or degree of curing of a resin). The dielectric properties of materials are thus of interest in several circumstances and not only for materials used for electrical purposes (such as electrical insulation). READ MORE

3. Modeling of foams for impact simulations
Abstract : Stimulated by the strong drive in the automotive industry to reduce energy consumption,and, linked to that, the need to reduce weight, this thesis concerns modeling of foams forimpact simulations. To start with, a continuum hyperelasto-viscoplastic model is developedwithin the framework of Theory of Porous Media. READ MORE

4. Continuum modeling of the coupled transport of mass, energy, and momentum in paperboard
Abstract : This thesis investigates the coupling between moisture, heat, and deformation in paperboard. The presented investigations are primarily conducted via macroscale continuum modeling but experimental characterisations are also made. READ MORE

5. On the Dynamics of Porous Media - Application to Road and Railway Structures
Abstract : Load-bearing road and railway structures normally consist of layers of particulate porous materials, often with bitumen-based binders. The layered system is subjected to dynamic loading from traffic, which inevitably causes material deterioration that enhances permanent surface deformation. READ MORE
