Long-term extreme buffeting response investigations for longspan bridges considering uncertain turbulence parameters based on field measurements
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:216, Doctoral thesis, 2021)When bridges become increasingly longer, the dynamic behavior from wind and waves can dominate the structural load effects. To build better knowledge about the dynamic behavior of long-span bridges subjected to turbulent ... -
Mechanisms and enhancement of CO2 condensation heat transfer
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:236, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of the mechanisms governing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) condensation, and in that way finding a pathway towards a higher condensation efficiency. Liquefaction of CO2 occurs ... -
On the coupling of damage and single crystal plasticity for ductile polycrystalline materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A crystal plasticity model accounting for damage evolution and ductile failure in a single crystal due to the presence of voids or micro-cracks is presented. An accurate, robust and computationally efficient single crystal ... -
The effect of curing temperature on autogenous deformation of fly ash concretes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)For concrete subjected to restrained conditions, autogenous deformation (AD) and thermal dilation (TD) are the main driving forces behind stress development in the hardening phase. Generally, AD in concrete is modelled by ... -

Characterization and modeling of the mechanical behavior of polymer foam
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:173, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Polymer foams are often used in safety applications, for example in pedestrian impact protection where a polymer foam bumper can increase pedestrian safety in the event of an accident. Application of this type of material ... -
Condensation heat transfer of CO2 on Cu based hierarchical and nanostructured surfaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Phase-change processes such as condensation are efficient means of heat transfer. However, condensation is also an energy-intensive process and extensive research is conducted to increase the heat transfer efficiency. ... -
Effects of interconnections between timber floor elements: dynamic and static evaluations of structural scale tests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Long-span timber floor elements increase the flexibility of a building and exhibit a significant market potential. Timber floor elements are endeavouring to fulfil this potential, but building projects employing long-span ... -
Efficient prediction of wind and wave induced long-term extreme load effects of floating suspension bridges using artificial neural networks and support vector machines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Long-term extreme load effects are one of the primary concerns in the design of civil and offshore structures. Such load effects can be evaluated using the accurate but computationally demanding full long-term method or ... -
Anisotropic Plasticity and Fracture of Three 6000-Series Aluminum Alloys
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The influence of microstructure on plasticity and fracture of three 6000-series aluminum alloys is studied with emphasis on the anisotropy caused by the extrusion process. Tension tests on smooth and notched specimens are ... -
Performance of a Linear Solution for Approximating Nonlinear Response of Reinforced Concrete Structures Subjected to Earthquake Shaking
(Chapter, 2020)Nonlinear Time History Analyses (NTHA) are generally regarded as the most accurate way of predicting the dynamic response of a structure to a given seismic ground motion. However, these types of analyses are computationally ... -
