  2. 6. Fatigue after traumatic brain injury : exploring novel methods for diagnosis and treatment

    Author : Nils Berginström; Anna Nordström; Peter Nordström; Lars Nyberg; Jan Lexell; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Traumatic brain injury; fatigue; OSU6162; randomized clinical trials; functional magnetic resonance imaging; neuropsychology; structural magnetic resonance imaging; white matter hyperintensities; rehabiliteringsmedicin; Rehabilitation Medicine;

    Abstract : Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common causes of disability and mortality. While some patients recover quickly, especially at the mild side of the injury severity continuum, many will experience symptoms for years to come. READ MORE

  4. 7. Fatigue Assessment of Cast Components : Influence of Cast Defects

    Author : Anders Björkblad; Jack Samuelsson; Gary Marquis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cast nodular iron; fatigue; design rules; fracture mechanics; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract :  This thesis is on the fatigue assessment of cast components with special attention to defects. The primary material in view is nodular cast iron, but also cast steel is considered. However, the fatigue behaviour is in principle valid for general use on other cast metals. READ MORE

  5. 8. Fatigue of existing steel bridges : Reliability and risk analyses for decision-making

    Author : Ruoqi Wang; John Leander; Raid Karoumi; Boulent Imam; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fatigue; steel bridges; decision-making; reliability analysis; risk analysis; spatial correlation; system modelling; inspection and maintenance; Utmattning; stålbroar; beslutsfattande; tillförlitlighet; riskanalys; rumslig korrelation; systemmodellering; inspektion och underhåll; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : Fatigue is one of the primary reasons that limit the service life of steel bridges. Many bridges in Sweden and other countries have progressively approached their anticipated service lives. Since funding and resources are limited, simultaneously replacement or maintenance of bridges is impractical. READ MORE

  6. 9. Direct Calculation of Wave-Induced Loads and Fatigue Damage of Container Vessels

    Author : Zhiyuan Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fatigue; stress concentration factor; direct calculation; Container ship; fatigue routing; wave-induced torsion.; extreme loading; nonlinear wave loads;

    Abstract : Container ships and their rules for fatigue design are in several ways differentcompared with other types of commercial ships such as tankers and bulk carriers. Forexample, most modern container ships have a pronounced bow flare and an overhangstern. READ MORE

  7. 10. High Temperature Fatigue Behaviour of Austenitic Stainless Steel : Microstructural Evolution during Dwell-Fatigue and Thermomechanical Fatigue

    Author : Hugo Wärner; Mattias Calmunger; Johan Moverare; Guocai Chai; Sten Johansson; Martina Zimmermann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The global energy consumption is increasing and together with global warming from greenhouse gas emission, a need for more environmentally friendly energy production processes is created. Higher efficiency of biomass power plants can be achieved by increasing temperature and pressure in the boiler section, this would increase the generation of electricity along with the reduction in emission of greenhouse gases e.
