1. Size effect in wood : Characterization of mechanical properties using digital image correlation method
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanikAbstract : As a natural composite material, wood exhibits complex structural char-acteristics and diverse behavior under compression and tensile forces. Itsanisotropic nature results in mechanical properties that vary depending onthe load direction along its longitudinal, tangential, and radial grains. READ MORE

2. CO2 Sequestration by Bio-Accelerated Silicate Weathering
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Human-caused emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are an established reason for the climate changes that affect planet Earth. Negative emission technologies (NETs), for example, bio-accelerated silicate weathering bioreactors, seek to capture and store carbon from the atmosphere. READ MORE

3. Experimental Testing of EPS-foam
University essay from KTH/HållfasthetsläraAbstract : The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the mechanical properties of ExpandedPolystyrene (EPS) through experimental testing. The strain was measured on thespecimen’s surface with Digital Image Correlation (DIC), in order to investigate howthe first principal strain at fracture initiation depends on the loading of the material.

4. Investigation of the basic mechanics of edge cracking in sheet aluminum forming
University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknikAbstract : As technology is developing in all automotive companies, car body designers have also investigated new materials such as composite and aluminum alloys. Designing modern car structures has also created various challenges in the production process, including formability limitations. READ MORE

5. Viscoelasticity of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites : Measuring the time-dependence of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) composite’s mechanical properties, using digital image correlation
University essay from KTH/MaterialvetenskapAbstract : The viscoelastic behavior of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite was investigated, in an effort to learn more about the mechanical properties of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites. Tensile creep tests with constant load were performed for native wood, non-delignified, and delignified wood-polymer composites. READ MORE
