  2. 1. Extreme wave conditions and the impact on wave energy converters

    Author : Eirini Katsidoniotaki; Malin Göteman; Vincent Neary; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extreme waves; wave energy converters; CFD; OpenFOAM; environmental contours; focused waves; breaking waves;

    Abstract : The amount of energy enclosed in ocean waves has been classified as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. Nowadays, different wave energy conversion (WEC) systems are being investigated, but only a few concepts have been operated in a sea environment. READ MORE

  4. 2. Terrestrial consequences of hypervelocity impact – shock metamorphism, shock barometry, and newly discovered impact structures

    Author : Sanna Alwmark; Berggrundsgeologi; []
    Keywords : Impact cratering; Impact structure; Shock metamorphism; Shock barometry; Quartz; Planar deformation features; Siljan; Målingen; Hummeln;

    Abstract : Impact cratering was once considered a rare geological process of no, or little, importance to the evolution of the Solar System and planet Earth. After more than 50 years of space exploration and the discovery of numerous (~190 as of October 2016) impact structures on Earth, this view has changed, and it is now clear that impact craters are in fact one of the most common morphological features on solid bodies in the Solar System.

  6. 4. Loads and responses for planing craft in waves

    Author : Anders Rosén; Dan Zenker; Brian Hayman; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Applied mechanics; planing craft; high-speed craft; waves; model tests; sull-scale trials; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Experimental and numerical analysis of loads and responses for planing craft in waves is considered. Extensive experiments have been performed on a planing craft, in full-scale as well as in model scale. The test set-ups and significant results are reviewed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Lamb wave evaluation of concrete plates

    Author : Oskar Tofeldt; Teknisk geologi; []
    Keywords : Lamb waves; guided waves; impact-echo; concrete; non-destructive evaluation;

    Abstract : This thesis is about the application of Lamb waves for non-destructive evaluation of plate-like concrete structures under one-sided access test condition using a portable equipment consisting of an accelerometer and impact hammer. With this type of equipment and based on array signal processing, the impact-echo (IE) method can be extended with measurements of surface waves; this extension allows an evaluation with Lamb waves.
