Bond strength and performance of optical fibre Bragg gratings sensors embedded in composite patch repairs for military aircraft
Jones, Tyler Paul; Thorvaldsen, Tom; Sagvolden, Geir; Pran, Karianne; Olsen, Torbjørn (2016)Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are recognized as a key element in a modern and efficient approach to structural lifecycle management. With novel applications of advanced materials, such as extensive use of ... -
Improved discretisation and linearisation of active tension in strongly coupled cardiac electro-mechanics simulations
Sundnes, Joakim; Wall, Samuel Thomas; Osnes, Harald; Thorvaldsen, Tom; McCulloch, Andrew (2012)Mathematical models of cardiac electro-mechanics typically consist of three tightly coupled parts: systems of ordinary differential equations describing electro-chemical reactions and cross-bridge dynamics in the muscle ... -
Investigation of Theoretical Models for the Elastic Stiffness of Nanoparticle-Modified Polymer Composites
Thorvaldsen, Tom; Johnsen, Bernt Brønmo; Olsen, Torbjørn; Hansen, Finn Knut (2015)Mathematical models are investigated and suggested for the calculation of the elastic stiffness of polymer nanocomposites. Particular emphasis is placed on the effect on the elastic stiffness from agglomerates and the ... -
Preparation and characterisation of epoxy/alumina polymer nanocomposites
Johnsen, Bernt Brønmo; Frømyr, Tomas Roll; Thorvaldsen, Tom; Olsen, Torbjørn (2013)The effect of adding nanosized alumina fillers of both fibre-like and spherical shapes to an epoxy polymer has been investigated. The alumina was dispersed in the epoxy hardener using two different sonication techniques. ...
