  1. 1. Petrological, geochemical and structural evidence of fluid-rock interaction in the Siljan Ring

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : William Crang; [2024]
    Keywords : methane; hydrothermal fluids; fluid-rock interaction; impact craters; reduction haloes; pyrite preservation; Siljan Ring;

    Abstract : The Siljan Ring in Dalarna, Sweden is the site of the largest meteor impact crater in Europe and has long been a topic of discussion regarding methane production. However, the source of this methane and the timing of production in relation to the impact remain unclear. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigations of Tool Wear Mechanisms in the Turning of Conventional, Calcium Treated and Ultraclean Steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Milou Göransson; [2023]
    Keywords : Clean steel; Ultraclean steel; Longitudinal turning; Cemented carbide cutting tool; Chemical vapor deposition coating; Machinability; Tool wear; Non-metallic inclusions; Rent stål; Ultrarent stål; Längdsvarvning; Hårdmetall skärverktyg; Kemisk ångdeponering beläggning; Bearbetningsbarhet; Verktygsslitage; Icke-metalliska inneslutningar.;

    Abstract : Application of clean and ultraclean steels have shown to provide favourable mechanical properties for bearings and transmission components, specifically regarding fatigue performance, compared to conventional steel grades. Clean steels are characterized by containing a very low level of non-metallic inclusions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Skyline Delineation for Localization in Occluded Environments : Improved Skyline Delineation using Environmental Context from Deep Learning-based Semantic Segmentation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Kyle William Coble; [2023]
    Keywords : Skyline delineation; Skyline detection; Semantic segmentation; Terrain based navigation; Digital elevation models; Uncrewed surface vessel; Planetary exploration robots; Horisont avgränsning; Horisont upptäckt; Semantisk segmentering; Terrängbaserad navigering; Digitala höjdmodeller; Obemannat ytfartyg; Planetariska utforskningsrobotar;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the problem of improving the delineation of skylines, also referred to as skyline detection, in occluded and challenging environments where existing skyline delineation methods may struggle or fail. Delineated skylines can be used in monocular camera localization methods by comparing delineated skylines to digital elevation model data to estimate a position based on known terrain. READ MORE

  5. 4. Petrography of impactites from the Dellen impact structure, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Robert Mroczek; [2023]
    Keywords : Dellen; Impact; structure; magnetite; apatite; shock waves; shock-metamorphic; features; Impactite; petrography; scanning electron microscope; SEM; geology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Identification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, which contains various volatiles that can affect the atmosphere of a body, or magnetite whose magnetic properties constitute a remote sensing indicator which allows us to study and understand the internal structures of distant bodies.

  6. 5. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Analysis and Predicted Physical Properties of Shocked Quartz from the Chicxulub Impact Crater, Mexico

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erina Prastyani; [2022]
    Keywords : EBSD; SEM; shocked quartz; quartz; CPO; seismic velocity; anisotropy; Chicxulub; impact crater; pole figures; MTEX toolbox; microstructural features; planar deformation feature; planar fracture; feather features;

    Abstract : As one of the most common minerals in crustal rocks, quartz has been widely used as an indicator for shock metamorphism. Shocked quartz is found in the Chicxulub impact crater, an impact crater that has been linked to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction ~66 million years ago. READ MORE
