2. 1. Externally unbonded post-tensioned CFRP tendons : a system solution

   Author : Anders Bennitz; Chris Burgoyne; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFRP; prestress; tendon; external; unbonded; anchorage; beams; CFRP; förspänning; vajer; utanpåliggande; icke vidhäftande; förankring; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : The introduction of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) to the civil engineering market in the late 1980s resulted in the emergence of a range of new tools for rehabilitating and strengthening concrete structures. Strengthening using FRPs is typically accomplished using non-prestressed externally bonded FRPs. READ MORE

4. 2. Femoral Strength Prediction using Finite Element Models : Validation of models based on CT and reconstructed DXA images against full-field strain measurements

   Author : Lorenzo Grassi; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bone strength; femur; osteoporosis; statistical appearance model; finite element; mechanical test;

   Abstract : Osteoporosis is defined as low bone density, and results in a markedly increased risk of skeletal fractures. It has been estimated that about 40% of all women above 50 years old will suffer from an osteoporotic fracture leading to hospitalization. READ MORE

5. 3. Linear and non-linear dynamics of non-autonomous flows

   Author : J. Simon Kern; Dan S. Henningson; Ardeshir Hanifi; Peter J. Schmid; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Time-dependent flows; linear stability; non-linear dynamics; Floquet analysis; optimally time-dependent modes; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Abstract : Fluid flows subject to time-dependent external forces or boundary conditions are ubiquitous in biology and technical applications. Whether one considers birds flying by flapping their wings or the gust response of wind turbines, the flow is non-autonomous. READ MORE

6. 4. Social support for physical activity among adolescents

   Author : Sofia Bunke; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Adolescent youth; physical activity exercise; intention; social influence; social support; health well-being; health behaviour;

   Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to enhance our understanding of social support for physical activity among adolescents. Earlier findings show inconsistent results with regard to the importance of social support. The present thesis includes three empirical studies examining adolescents (16-18 years) during their years in high-school. READ MORE

7. 5. The Digital Transformation of the Swedish Graphic Industry

   Author : Mathias Cöster; Thomas Falk; Nils-Göran Olve; Benkt Wangler; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IT; Productivity; Industrial transformation; Innovation development; Digitization; Graphic Industry; Development blocks; Technological systems; Informatics; Informatik; Economic Information Systems; Ekonomiska informationssystem;

   Abstract : This thesis examines how IT and the digitization of information have transformed the Swedish graphic industry. The debate concerning the productivity paradox, i.e. if investments in IT contribute to productivity growth, is one important starting point for the thesis. READ MORE
