1. Support for the conceptual design stage of effective and resource-efficient offerings : A pragmatic and cross-disciplinary approach
Abstract : Human activities in the form of production and consumption have increased to an all-time high. In many cases, this increase has resulted in environmental problems such as waste and pollution that, in turn, affect our health and way of living. Societies have proposed different measures to address such environmental problems. READ MORE

2. Multi-Disciplinary Conceptual Design of Future Jet Engine Systems
Abstract : This thesis describes various aspects of the development of a multi-disciplinary aero engine conceptual design tool, TERA2020 (Techno-economic, Environmental and Risk Assessment for 2020), based on an explicit algorithm that considers: engine performance, engine aerodynamic and mechanical design, aircraft design and performance, emissions prediction and environmental impact, engine and airframe noise, and production, maintenance and direct operating costs.As part of this research effort, a newly-derived semi-empirical NOx correlation for modern rich-burn single-annular combustors is proposed.

3. Using a Social Semiotic Perspective to Inform the Teaching and Learning of Physics
Abstract : This thesis examines meaning-making in three different areas of undergraduate physics: the refraction of light; electric circuits; and, electric potential and electric potential energy. In order to do this, a social semiotic perspective was constituted for the thesis to facilitate the analysis of meaning-making in terms of the semiotic resources that are typically used in the teaching and learning of physics.

4. The Social City : Middle-way approaches to housing and sub-urban golvernmentality in southern Stockholm, 1900-1945
Abstract : This dissertation deals with the period bridging the era of extreme housing shortages in Stockholm on the eve of industrialisation and the much admired programmes of housing provision that followed after the second world war, when Stockholm district Vällingby became an example for underground railway-serviced ”new towns”. It is argued that important changes were made in the housing and town planning policy in Stockholm in this period that paved the way for the successful ensuing period. READ MORE

5. Design Automation for Additive Manufacturing : A Multi-Disciplinary Optimization Approach
Abstract : Additive manufacturing (AM) is a group of manufacturing methods which have attracted rapidly increasing interest in academia and industry during the last years. AM's main benefits are manufacturing of complex shapes and small-scale manufacturing, without the additional cost of traditional manufacturing methods. READ MORE
