Description
Summary:I would like to give a grateful acknowledgement for their financial support to this project. Gestamp HardTech in Luleå, Sweden, has been the main corporation partner during the work and I specially like to express gratitude to Jan Krispinsson, Lars Wikström and Ola Hallergren for their guidance through the project. Per Johansson, test engineer at Gestamp HardTech has made the experiments possible. A special thanks to my two supervisors at the division, Professor Mats Oldenburg and Professor Karl-Gustav Sundin for their support and guidance during the project. All present and former colleagues on the division are also given my gratitude. I also want to mention all friends outside the academic world. I would like to thank my parents, Tore and Eva and my sister Malin for always being there when I need them. Last but certainly not least, I thank my girlfriend Caroline for her encouragement and patience throughout the time of the project.
