    Author : Jose Hernández Vargas; Johan Silfwerbrand; Helena Westerlind; Roberto Naboni; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 3D concrete printing; digital fabrication; concrete structures; additive manufacturing; robotic fabrication; design for manufacturing; structural optimisation; functionally graded concrete; topology optimisation.; 3D-betongutskrift; digital tillverkning; betongkonstruktioner; additiv tillverkning; robotstyrd tillverkning; design för tillverkning; strukturell optimering; funktionellt graderad betong; topologioptimering.; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

    Abstract : The transition from conventional cast concrete to 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) marks a paradigm shift by directly depositing fresh concrete layer upon layer according to a digital model without the need for a formwork. This technology offers the possibility of achieving innovative and complex geometries in an automated process. READ MORE

  4. 2. Advancing the life cycle energy optimisation methodology

    Author : Hamza Bouchouireb; Ciarán J. O'Reilly; Peter Göransson; Rupert J. Baumgartner; José Potting; Tracy Bhamra; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; life cycle energy; vehicle design; optimisation; functional conflicts; livscykelenergi; fordonsdesign; optimering; tvär-funktionella konflikter; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : The Life Cycle Energy Optimisation (LCEO) methodology aims at finding a design solution that uses a minimum amount of cumulative energy demand over the different phases of the vehicle's life cycle, while complying with a set of functional constraints. This effectively balances trade-offs, and therewith avoids sub-optimal shifting between the energy demand for the cradle-to-production of materials, operation of the vehicle, and end-of-life phases.

  5. 3. Generation and exploitation of proton motive force: Biochemical and structural analysis of three bacterial integral membrane proteins

    Author : Pontus Emanuel Gourdon; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray crystallography; AcrB; structure; proteorhodopsin; multi-drug resistance; transhydrogenase; membrane proteins; proton motive force;

    Abstract : Proton motive force, a necessity for all living cells, is generated and exploited by asignificant number of membrane-bound enzymes and transporters. The focus of thisthesis was to understand the physiological relevance, structure and mechanism of threesuch bacterial enzymes: proteorhodopsin; transhydrogenase; and AcrB. READ MORE

  7. 5. Structural Design of Laser-Welded Sandwich Panels for Marine Applications

    Author : Hans Kolsters; KTH; []
    Keywords : Sandwich; Laser welding; Web; Core; Stiffness; Elastic Buckling; Ultimate strength; Finite element analysis; Mechanical testing; Optimisation.;

    Abstract : In shipbuilding the replacement of stiffened platestructures by laser-welded sandwich panels offers considerableadvantages for production as well as vessel operation. In viewof reduced weight and space requirements an area of particularinterest is the incorporation of an adhesively bonded core bywhich the stiffness and strength can be substantiallyincreased, and thermal-acoustic insulation can be integrated.
