Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): The forest industry is at the dawn of a new era.
Decreased demand for traditional products has lead forest products industry to seek opportunities to develop innovative products.
Notably, nanoreinforced materials such as nanocellulose aerogels have caught the attention of the companies.

Native cellulose is very stiff organic compound whereas aerogels are highly porous and light solid materials.
The nanocellulose aerogels combine the high strength of cellulose nanofibers with the light weight of porous structure.

Modelling can be important tool in product development.
With aid of modelling, features that dominate behaviour of materials can be understood.
The aim of this thesis is to develop a mechanical model for nanocellulose aerogels which can be utilized in product development.
More specific, a two-dimensional finite element model for nanocellulose aerogels is developed.
The model can be applied to simulate compressive behaviour of the aerogels.

In this thesis, we analyze the behaviour of the proposed model.
In addition, simulation results of the model are compared against experimental results.
Furthermore, models strengths and weaknesses are analyzed.
