2. 1. Forced use on arm function after stroke : clinically rated and self-reported outcome and measurement during the sub-acute phase

   Author : Ann M. Hammer; Birgitta Lindmark; Lotta Widén Holmqvist; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : stroke; upper limb; reliability; validity; ICF; forced use; motor function; effectiveness; rehabilitation; physiotherapy; grip force; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

   Abstract : The overall aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of forced use on arm and hand recovery after stroke by applying a restraining sling on the non-affected arm and to investigate psychometric properties of selected upper limb measures.Papers I and II reported a randomised trial with 1- and 3-month follow-ups.

4. 2. Numerical investigation of the sensitivity of forced response characteristics of bladed disks to mistuning

   Author : Mikkel Myhre; KTH; []
   Keywords : aircraft engines; gas turbines; bladed disk assemblies; vibrations; high cycle fatigue; forced response; mistuning;

   Abstract : Two state of the art finite element reduction techniquespreviously validated against the direct finite element method,one based on classical modal analysis and another based oncomponent mode synthesis, are applied for efficient mistunedfree vibration and forced response analysis of several bladeddisk geometries. The methods are first applied to two testcases in order to demonstrate the differences in computationalefficiency as well as to validate the methods againstexperimental data. READ MORE

   Abstract : U-pipe Borehole Heat Exchangers (BHE) are widely used today in ground source heating and cooling systems in spite of their less than optimal performance. This thesis provides a better understanding on the function of U-pipe BHEs and Investigates alternative methods to reduce the temperature difference between the circulating fluid and the borehole wall, including one thermosyphon and three different types of coaxial BHEs.

6. 4. Controlling Forced Response of a High Pressure Turbine Blade

   Author : Jeff Green; Torsten Fransson; Robert Kielb; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Vibration induced High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) is a major consideration in designing gas turbines. Indeed, the Gas Turbine manufacturer must demonstrate that the vibration level of the turbomachinery blading is acceptably low, usually by using an engine strain gauge test. READ MORE

7. 5. Experimental Investigation of Performance, Flow Interactions and Rotor Forcing in Axial Partial Admission Turbines

   Author : Jens Fridh; Torsten Fransson; Björn Laumert; Jürgen Seume; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; axial turbine; partial admission; part loads; experimental investigation; turbine performance; losses; dynamic rotor forces; forced response; unsteady flow; axialturbin; partialpådrag; dellaster; reglersteg; experimentell undersökning; turbinprestanda; förluster; dynamiska krafter; rotorvibration; instationär strömning;

   Abstract : The thesis comprises a collection of four papers with preceding summary and supplementary appendices. The core investigation solely is of experimental nature although reference and comparisons with numerical models will be addressed. READ MORE
