• Hydrogen assisted crack growth in iron: a simulations approach 

      Meling, Jan Inge Hammer (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:32, Doctoral thesis, 2021)
      Hydrogen enhances crack growth, limiting the lifetime of industrial components. Despite the abundance of research into hydrogen enhanced crack growth and its proposed mechanisms, none of the models can explain all the ...
    • Investigating Cryptocurrency Trends with Big Data and Time Series Analysis 

      Flood, Sindre (Master thesis, 2018)
      The interest in cryptocurrencies has exploded over the last years and are heavily debated in socialmedia. Concretely,we look at the relationship between Bitcoin prices and Reddit posts for the period 2013 to 2018. Approximately ...
    • Investigation of the Burridge-Knopoff-Pad model with a focus on eigenmodes and Rayleigh Damping 

      Marstrander, Thea Martine (Master thesis, 2021)
      Burridge-Knopoff-Pad-modellen er en nyutviklet og lite studert modell laget for å representere den skjærende lyden fra bilbremser grunnet friksjonsinduserte vibrasjoner. Modellen kombinerer Burridge-Knopoff-modellen som ...
    • Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Antagonistic Salt at the Water/Oil Interface 

      Glende, Gudrun (Master thesis, 2019)
      Blandinger av vann og organiske løsninger er veldig vanlig. De finnes i alt fra menneskekroppen til flere industriprosesser. Ved høyere og lavere temperaturer vil en blanding, som består av vann og den organiske løsningen ...
    • Nanoscale tribological simulations of a semi-crystalline polymer 

      Vacher, Robin Sam (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:95, Doctoral thesis, 2022)
      Many of the objects surrounding us are made of polymers. Those polymers are often used for their tribological properties, for example, shoes with rubber soles or car tyres. Polymers materials become more and more presents, ...
    • Numerical Simulation Comparing the Burridge-Knopoff and Burridge-Knopoff-Pad Model 

      Standnes, Karsten (Master thesis, 2019)
      Denne masteroppgaven undersøker og analyserer data produsert fra gruppesimulering av Burridge-Knopoff og Burridge-Knopoff-Pad modellene. Sistnevnte, BKP modellen, er nylig utviklet og lite undersøkt, derfor er målet å ...
    • Simulating Fretting Fatigue using the Burridge-Knopoff-Pad model. 

      Høgberg, Rasmus (Master thesis, 2020)
      I denne masteroppgaven har jeg utvidet en eksisterende modell basert på Burridge-Knopoff-Pad modellen først implementert av H. Ferre som ble forbedret av K. Standnes. Målet med oppgaven er og utvide dagens modell og undersøke ...
    • Ski friction on snow and ice 

      Dobloug, Morten Meling (Master thesis, 2017)
      This thesis has tree main focus points; ski friction theory, materials and finish and the use of machine learning algorithms. The main results are in the machine learning segment. Olympiatoppen has recorded 16 000 ski pairs ...
    • The Burridge-Knopoff-Pad Model - A New Model for Studying Noise Generation & Brake Dynamics 

      Ferre, Herman Nylund (Master thesis, 2018)
      In this Thesis, I have presented a new model, which, to the best of my knowledge, has never been studied before. The Burridge-Knopoff--Pad model combines the plain Burridge-Knopoff model with a resonating mass. The model ...
    • Understanding the friction of atomically thin layered materials 

      Andersson, Sven Per David; de Wijn, Astrid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Friction is a ubiquitous phenomenon that greatly affects our everyday lives and is responsible for large amounts of energy loss in industrialised societies. Layered materials such as graphene have interesting frictional ...
