1. Input Estimation in Structural Dynamics
Abstract : Knowledge of time-varying excitation is of importance in the design of a wide range of engineering applications, from spacecraft and processing plants to electronic circuits. Regardless of the actual application or underlying physics, the expected input will play a key role in the determination of adequate system properties and parameters. READ MORE

2. Adaptive Finite Element Procedures in Structural Dynamics
Abstract : This thesis deals with a posteriori error estimation and adaptivity in finite element procedures for the analysis of structural dynamic problems. First, error estimation and adaptivity for the Newmark time integration method are studied. READ MORE

3. Hidden Markov Models: Identification, Inverse Filtering and Applications
Abstract : A hidden Markov model (HMM) comprises a state with Markovian dynamics that is hidden in the sense that it can only be observed via a noisy sensor. This thesis considers three themes in relation to HMMs, namely, identification, inverse filtering and applications. READ MORE

4. Modeling and Linear Quadratic Optimal Control of Wind Turbines
Abstract : Control can improve the performance of wind turbines by enhancing the energy capture and reducing dynamic, as well as static, loads. There are several possible configurations of the control system, depending on the available actuators. READ MORE

5. On specification and inference in the econometrics of public procurement
Abstract : In Paper [I] we use data on Swedish public procurement auctions for internal regularcleaning service contracts to provide novel empirical evidence regarding green publicprocurement (GPP) and its effect on the potential suppliers’ decision to submit a bid andtheir probability of being qualified for supplier selection. We find only a weak effect onsupplier behavior which suggests that GPP does not live up to its political expectations. READ MORE
