2. 1. Dynamic Characteristics of Floating Breakwaters

   Author : Aurora Xiaomeng Lei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; floating breakwaters; couplings joints ; dynamic cables; dynamic response; line tension; wave attenuation; wave reflection;

   Abstract : The dynamic behaviour of interconnected floating breakwaters has been studied theoretically and experimentally. For this type of shore-protection system, problems that must be dealt with include wave loads on the breakwaters caused by the interaction between the bodies and the waves, motions of the moored breakwaters caused by the waves, changed wave fields in front of and behind the breakwaters, and forces on the mooring cables and in interconnections between breakwater units.

4. 2. Dynamic Modeling of Nitrifying Trickling Filters

   Author : Torsten Wik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distributed parameter system; Trickling Filter; Biofilm; Process Model; Experiments; Wastewater; Dynamics;

   Abstract : Trickling filters, one kind of biofilm reactors, for removal of nitrogen in municipal wastewater are presently increasing in number in Sweden. For improved control and operation of wastewater treatment plants, where such reactors are used, dynamic models describing their behavior are necessary. READ MORE

5. 3. Multi-unit common value auctions : theory and experiments

   Author : Joakim Ahlberg; Lars Hultkrantz; Jan-Eric Nilsson; Jerker Holm; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Multi-Unit Auction; Common Value Auction; Laboratory Experiment; Game Theory; Economics; Q Economics; Q Economics; Economics;

   Abstract : Research on auctions that involve more than one identical item for sale was,almost non-existing in the 90’s, but has since then been getting increasing attention. External incentives for this research have come from the US spectrum, sales, the European 3G mobile-phone auctions,  and Internet auctions. READ MORE

6. 4. Industrial Ecology Approaches to Improve Metal Management : Three Modeling Experiments

   Author : Rajib Sinha; Björn Frostell; Maria Malmström; Amir Rashid; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; system dynamics; element flow analysis; industrial ecology; product systems; end-of-life; DPSIR; pressure-based driver-oriented approach; environmental management; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

   Abstract : A linear model of consumption − produce-use-dispose − has constantly increased the pressure on the environment in recent decades. There has been a great belief that technology will solve the problem, but in many cases it is only partly contributing to the solution. For a full solution, the root causes of problems need to be identified. READ MORE

7. 5. Experiments and modelling of fracture initiation at impact

   Author : Ola Wall; Hållfasthetslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration and acoustic engineering; vacuum technology; hydraulics; Viscoplasticity; Mechanical engineering; Ductile; Brittle; Dynamic; Fracture; Maskinteknik; hydraulik; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

   Abstract : The thesis addresses different questions, each necessary in the understanding of dynamic fracture initiation and crack propagation in steel. Emphasis lays on dynamic crack propagation experiments performed in the ductile to brittle transition region and possible conclusions, that can be drawn from them. READ MORE
