1. 1. Exploring intra-granular strain in granular systems under mechanical load using scanning 3DXRD

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära

   Author : Philip Vestin; [2021]
   Keywords : Granular mechanics; 3DXRD; x-ray diffraction; Python; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This dissertation serves to explain the theory behind three-dimensional scanning x-ray diffraction while at the same time connecting the theory to a software package used for processing data obtained from measurements using scanning x-ray diffraction. This software package is then used and built upon to analyse the data obtained from the measurement of a sample of 12 silica grains subject to an uniaxial load of 60 N. READ MORE

3. 2. An Investigation of the breakage process of particles : With help of experimental results and discrete element methods

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Ronni Bashiry; [2021]
   Keywords : Geotechnical Engineering; Breakage; Fracture; Spherical particles; DEM; Modelling; Numerical modelling;

   Abstract : In this study the breakage mechanics of brittle glass marbles was investigated. The pro-cess was to firstly investigate them in laboratory environment. The marbles or specimens was loaded until a crushing breakage occurred in a single point load test called Single Sphere Point load test in this document. READ MORE

4. 3. Numerical analysis of vibrations due to impact pile driving

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Sebastian Andersson Olivecrona; Rasmus Sulander; [2016]
   Keywords : Finite element method; Concrete pile; Impact pile driving; Ground vibrations; Soil mechanics; Soil dynamics; COMSOL Multiphysics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Vibrations originating from constructional work can affect the nearby soil and structures. Depending on the properties of the vibrations, these can result in settlements in the soil and damages to existing structures. Along with blasting, impact pile driving is one of the greatest sources of vibrations on a construction site. READ MORE
