Micromechanisms of fatigue crack growth in cast aluminium piston alloys
(2012)The fatigue crack growth behaviour in as-cast and hot isostatically pressed (HIP) model cast aluminium piston alloys with hypoeutectic Si compositions of 6.9 wt% and 0.67 wt% has been investigated. The HIP alloys showed ... -
Analysis of fatigue crack initiation and S–N response of model cast aluminium piston alloys
(2011)Fatigue crack initiation and S–N fatigue behaviour of hipped model Al7Si–Sr and Al0.7Si piston alloys have been investigated after overaging at 260 °C for 100 h to provide a practical simulation of in-service conditions. ... -

Trace elements in PM2.5 in Gothenburg, Sweden
(Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology, University of NairobiDepartment of Chemistry, University of Gothenburg, SwedenDepartment of Applied Physics, Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden, 2010)Ambient aerosol particles smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) are getting more and more attention worldwide. While legal focus is mainly on sample mass, the composition of the particles is an important research field gaining ... -

Elemental content of PM2.5 aerosol particles collected in G¨oteborg during the G¨ote-2005 campaign in February 2005
(2009)The Gote–2005 measurement campaign aimed at studying the influence of the winter thermal inversions on urban air pollution. Elemental speciation of PM2.5 aerosol particles, collected on Teflon filters at three urban ... -
Inorganic element concentrations in near surface aerosols sampled on the northwest slopes of Mount Kenya
(2001)Eight trace elements, Si, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe and Zn in the near-ground atmospheric aerosols were evaluated in the northwestern part of Mount Kenya using a dichotomous sampler and an EDXRF spectrometer. The samples were ... -
Elemental analysis of size-fractionated particulate matter sampled in Göteborg, Sweden
(Department of Chemistry, Atmospheric Science, Göteborg UniversityInstitute of Nuclear Science & Technology, University of Nairobi, 2008)The aim of the study was to investigate the mass distribution of trace elements in aerosol samples collected in the urban area of Göteborg, Sweden, with special focus on the impact of different air masses and anthropogenic ...
