  2. 1. Footbridge Dynamics : Human-Structure Interaction

    Author : Emma Zäll; Raid Karoumi; Mahir Ülker-Kaustell; Andreas Andersson; Peter Van den Broeck; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamics; vibration; footbridge; pedestrian bridge; human-structure interaction; runner; running loads; simplified models; Dynamik; vibration; gångbro; människa-bro-interaktion; löpare; löparlaster; förenklade modeller; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : For aesthetic reasons and due to an increased demand for cost-effective and environmentally friendly civil engineering structures, there is a trend in designing light and slender structures. Consequently, many modern footbridges are susceptible to excessive vibrations caused by human-induced loads. READ MORE

  4. 2. Stellar kinematics in surveys and simulations

    Author : Daniel Mikkola; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galactic dynamics; stellar dynamics; simulations; Gaia; Galactic dynamics; Stellar kinematics; Numerical simulations; Statistical methods; Solar neighborhood;

    Abstract : We study stellar motions in the Milky Way with N-body simulations and large astrometric samples from ESA's Gaia mission. We identify two kinematic populations for white dwarfs in the Solar neighbourhood. We also investigate the accreted halo and reveal two new structures. READ MORE

  5. 3. Computer Simulations of Polymer Gels : Structure, Dynamics, and Deformation

    Author : Natasha Kamerlin; Christer Elvingson; Jan Forsman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer simulations; Brownian dynamics; polymer gel; microgel; spherical boundary conditions; hypersphere; core-shell; deswelling; mechanical properties; uniaxial elongation;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the results of computer simulation studies of the structure, dynamics, and deformation of cross-linked polymer gels. Obtaining a fundamental understanding of the interrelation between the detailed structure and the properties of polymer gels is a challenge and a key issue towards designing materials for specific purposes.

  6. 4. Algorithms for Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Author : Fredrik Hedman; Aatto Laaksonen; Tom Darden; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular dynamics; MD; first principles molecular dynamics; quantum mechanics; liquid water; parallel algorithm; data parallel; MPI; Coulombic interaction; Ewald summation; nonuniform fast Fourier transform; FFT; FFTW; NFFT; ENUF; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : Methods for performing large-scale parallel Molecular Dynamics(MD) simulations are investigated. A perspective on the field of parallel MD simulations is given. Hardware and software aspects are characterized and the interplay between the two is briefly discussed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Protein-water interactions studied by molecular dynamics simulations

    Author : Filip Persson; Biofysikalisk kemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MD simulations; NMR nuclear magnetic resonance ; MRD; water dynamics; protein dynamics; protein hydration; Amide hydrogen exchange; Internal water; compressibility;

    Abstract : Most proteins have evolved to function optimally in aqueous environments, and the interactions between protein and water therefore play a fundamental role in the stability, dynamics, and function of proteins. Although we understand many details of water, we understand much less about the protein-water interface. READ MORE
