6. Modelling of nanometric cutting in metals using MD simulations
University essay from Lunds universitet/MekanikAbstract : This master thesis project has been done within the Mechanics department of Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH). It studies the nanometric cutting process of a single crystal copper workpiece by a cubic diamond tool using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations on the software LAMMPS. READ MORE

7. Wading Simulations of Complete Heavy-Duty Vehicles
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Wading is the phenomenon where a vehicle drives through water with a relatively deep water level. Sincea large portion of the vehicle is submerged in water it can affect the driveability and function of individualcomponents. READ MORE

9. Simulations of experimental crack development in ceramic material with notched specimen
University essay from KTH/HållfasthetsläraAbstract : Low-density armour often uses ceramic materials, as their high compressive strength and relatively low weight make the material ideal for moving in the field. The ballistic protection works by redirecting the plastic flow of the projectile radially, which reduces penetration. READ MORE

10. Simulation strategies for improved contamination modeling of liquid dynamics on automotive surfaces
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningsläraAbstract : A significant level of research is currently being carried out in the development of driver support systems as they are expected to play a key role in minimizing road vehicle accidents and creating a safe driving environment under harsh weather conditions. However, the performance of some components used by existing driver support systems like LIDAR and visual cameras are affected by extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain fall and snow. READ MORE
