2. 1. Modelling Alternative Load Paths in Platform-Framed CLT Buildings : A Finite Element Approach

   Author : Johannes Albert Josef Huber; Mats Ekevad; Ulf Arne Girhammar; Sven Berg; Sigurdur Ormarsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; timber; robustness; finite element method; alternative load paths; disproportionate collapse; Träteknik; Wood Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : Timber has become more popular as a construction material during recent years. Engineered wood products, such as glued laminated timber and cross-laminated timber, have enabled the construction of multi-storey buildings. Tall buildings with many occupants need to resist a disproportional collapse in case of unexpected exposures, e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. Active Muscle Responses in a Finite Element Human Body Model

   Author : Jonas Östh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; feedback control; autonomous braking; finite element; human body model; active muscle; posture maintenance; reflexive response;

   Abstract : The development of automotive safety systems is moving towards an integration of systems thatare active before and during an impact. Consequently, there is a need to make a combinedanalysis of both the pre-crash and the in-crash phases, which leads to new requirements forHuman Body Models (HBMs) that today are used for crash simulations.

5. 3. Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Optimal Control Problems

   Author : Karin Kraft; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; finite element method; discontinuous Galerkin method; optimal control; a posteriori error estimate; dual weighted residual; adaptive; multilevel algorithm; Newton method; control constraint; variational inequality; vehicle dynamics.;

   Abstract : In this thesis we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems. The problems considered consist of a system of differential equations, the state equations, which are governed by a control variable. The goal is to determine the states and controls which minimize a given cost functional. READ MORE

7. 5. Structure-acoustic analysis; finite element modelling and reduction methods

   Author : Peter Davidsson; Byggnadsmekanik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mechanical engineering; hydraulics; vacuum technology; vibration and acoustic engineering; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; low frequency range; building acoustics; lightweight structures; porous materials; modal reduction; substructuring; finite element analysis; structural acoustics; vibroacoustics; Structural dynamics;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates structure-acoustic systems by use of finite element analysis. The systems studied here are limited to those that consist of an enclosed acoustic fluid cavity, which is coupled to a flexible structure and/or a porous sound absorbing material domain. READ MORE
