1. Modelling the time-dependent, damage and fracture mechanical properties of load-bearing soft biological tissues
Abstract : Load-carrying soft biological tissues exhibit a wide range of complex time-dependent, damage, and fracture mechanical properties. An effective comprehension of such behaviour is advantageous in characterising tolerance to injury and can provide valuable insights regarding the incidence and progression of certain diseases.

2. Fibre reinforced concrete : fracture mechanics methods applied on self-compacting concrete and energetically modified binders
Abstract : Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is a type of building material that is increasing in use. As new types on concrete develops the need to update the knowledge on the use of fibre reinforcement increases. This thesis covers test methods for FRC that ranges from standard beam tests to sophisticated uniaxial tension tests. READ MORE

3. Phase field modeling of flaw-induced hydride precipitation kinetics in metals
Abstract : Hydrogen embrittlement can manifest itself as hydride formation in structures when in contact with hydrogen-rich environments, e.g. in space and nuclear power applications. To supplant experimentation, modeling of such phenomena is beneficial to make life prediction reduce cost and increase the understanding. READ MORE

4. Phase-field modeling of stress-induced precipitation and kinetics in engineering metals
Abstract : The formation of brittle compounds in metals operating in corrosive environments can be a tremendous source of embrittlement for industrial structures and such phenomenon is commonly enhanced in presence of stresses. To study this type of microstructural change modeling is preferred to experiment to reduce costs and prevent undesirable environmental impacts. READ MORE

5. Health outcomes of women with breast cancer
Abstract : The overall survival of breast cancer patients has increased quite remarkably in the past decades in the developed countries due to substantial improvements in diagnosis and treatment. As a consequence, the proportion of women alive after a breast cancer diagnosis is currently increasing. READ MORE
