1. Assessment of existing concrete bridges : bending stiffness as a performance indicator
Abstract : Optimizing the use of existing civil reinforced concrete (RC) structures could be interpreted in such a way as to say that the capacity should be used and taken care of in an effective manner, both from a technical and economical point of view, keeping the safety in mind. Achieving this requires thorough understanding of the structure and also of the tools used for assessing current and future capacity and needs. READ MORE

2. Local variation in bending stiffness in structural timber of Norway spruce : for the purpose of strength grading
Abstract : Most strength grading machines on the European market use an averagemodulus of elasticity (MOE), estimated on a relatively large distance along awood member, as the indicating property (IP) to bending strength. Theaccuracy of such grading machines in terms of coefficient of determination israther low at R2 ≈ 0.5. READ MORE

3. Regularization of Parameter Problems for Dynamic Beam Models
Abstract : The field of inverse problems is an area in applied mathematics that is of great importance in several scientific and industrial applications. Since an inverse problem is typically founded on non-linear and ill-posed models it is a very difficult problem to solve. READ MORE

4. Numerical homogenization of network models and micro-mechanical simulation of paperboard
Abstract : Micro-mechanical simulations of paper products involve complex geometries and challenging numerical problems. This work considers micro-mechanical simulations where individual paper fibers are modeled and resolved. This level of detail is useful in paper-product development, where wood composition and other fiber-based parameters are essential. READ MORE

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