• Arterial Flow and Pulse Wave Propagation in one dimensional Arterial Networks with Statistically Distributed Model Parameters 

      Eck, Vinzenz Gregor (Master thesis, 2012)
      Parametric uncertainty in blood flow simulations of cardiovascular systems has received little attention, although methods for blood flow simulation has been subject of many studies. This work presents the implementation ...
    • Dynamic Analysis of Fire Water Pump Module 

      Størkson, Thomas Otto (Master thesis, 2012)
      The thesis starts with a simple description of the system and some brief theory needed for the following analysis. Further a factory acceptance test is performed, this implies measurement of the dynamic response due to ...
    • Fluid Structure Interaction Simulation on an Idealized Aortic Arch 

      Eeg, Thomas Bertheau (Master thesis, 2012)
      The aortic arch is at risk of several cardiovascular diseases, such as aortic dissection. Many of these risk factors are due to the fluid-structure interaction that occurs in the aorta. Fluid-structure interation (FSI) ...
    • Micromechanical Modelling of Strain Localization and Fracture in Aluminium 

      Martinsen, Vegard (Master thesis, 2012)
      Aluminium is often treated as a homogeneous material. However, when investigated on a microscopic scale, a granular structure is observed. The mechanical properties of the constituents, together with the distribution of ...
    • Numerical Analysis of Primary Stability on Cementless Hip Prostheses 

      Olufsen, Sindre Nordmark (Master thesis, 2012)
      Since the first Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) performed in the 60's, it has been regarded among the most successful surgical procedures. When an un-cemented hip prosthesis is employed, the prosthesis is impacted into a ...
    • Static Analysis of Fire Water Pump Module 

      Størkson, Knut Vilhelm (Master thesis, 2012)
      This thesis is based on a project from the previous semester (fall 2011) and initiated by Sigve Gjerstad at Frank Mohn Flato y AS. The thesis introduces the FWP system and different aspects regarding a static analysis of ...
    • Validation of material model for polypropylene (PP) 

      Sælen, Kristin (Master thesis, 2012)
      A hyperelastic-viscoplastic material model intended for thermoplastics has been developed by SIMLab at NTNU. This model formed the basis of the thesis, where a material model for the polymer polypropylene was calibrated ...
    • Validering av materialmodell for polypropylen (HDPE) 

      Hegni, Tonje (Master thesis, 2012)
      Denne rapporten tar for seg validering av en hyperelastisk viscoplastisk material modell som tidligere har blitt implementert i elementmetode koden LS Dyna. Materialet som er evaluert er polyetylen (HDPE) som er levert ...
