    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : Timber with its natural appearance and glass with its transparency may be appealing material for architects and users of modern buildings. Glass is a brittle material, but it is about six times stiffer than timber. Combined appropriately, the materials could form different types of composite products, e.g. READ MORE

  6. 19. Vibrations from Railway Traffic : Computational Modeling and Analysis

    Author : Jens Malmborg; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Train-induced vibrations; ground vibration; wave propagation; soil dynamics; finite element method; soil stiffening; critical velocity;

    Abstract : The population is growing, and an increasing proportion of the population lives in urban areas. As a consequence, human exposure to noise and vibrations is increasing; two major sources being railway and road traffic. Larger and denser cities lead to a higher amount of traffic close to where people work and live. READ MORE
