  2. 16. User Preferred Trajectories in Commercial Aircraft Operation: Design and Implementation

    Author : Hanyo Vera Anders; Arthur Rizzi; Tobias Andersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aeronautics; air traffic management; aircraft operation; flygteknik; flygledning; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : This report describes how an aircraft creates and flies its User Preferred Trajectory from take-off to landing, based on the objectives and constraints the aircraft is subjected to from a technological and operational viewpoint. A basic description of commercial aircraft operation is given, with an emphasis on identifying the different stakeholders (Air Navigation Service Providers, Airline Operation Center, Pilot/Aircraft, Airport and Civil Aviation Authority).

  4. 17. Final Approach : Measurements and Ratings of Aircraft Landing Noise

    Author : Anders Johansson; Karl Bolin; Susann Boij; Antonio Filippone; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aircraft noise; acoustic measurements; psycho acoustics measurements; noise annoyance; Flygplansbuller; akustiska mätningar; psykoakustiska mätningar; bullerstörning; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Följande avregleringen av flygmarknaden har flygtrafiken ökat snabbt sedan mitten av 1990-talet. Detta har oundvikligen lett till en utbyggnad av flygplatser, vilket på många platser runt om i världen har lett till oro och konflikter på grund av ökade bullernivåer. READ MORE

  5. 18. Human Postures and Movements analysed through Constrained Optimization

    Author : Robert Pettersson; Anders Eriksson; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Hans Berg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multibody system; optimal control; trajectory optimization; long jump; posture; Other engineering mechanics; Övrig teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Constrained optimization is used to derive human postures and movements. In the first study a static 3D model with 30 muscle groups is used to analyse postures. The activation levels of these muscles are minimized in order to represent the individual's choice of posture. READ MORE

  6. 19. An evolutionary basis for protein design and structure prediction

    Author : Christoffer Norn; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein evolution; Biophysics; Protein design; Protein structure prediction;

    Abstract : The sequence diversity of protein families is a result of the biophysical selection pressures that shaped their evolutionary history. Among the dominant pressures is selection for protein thermostability, which in itself is an attractive target in protein engineering because of its importance for various biopharmaceutical properties, the performance of industrial enzymes, and the ability to design new protein functions.

  7. 20. Airborne Wind Energy - to fly or not to fly?

    Author : Elena Malz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates crosswind Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWESs) in terms of power production and potential role in future electricity generation systems. The perspective ranges from the small scale, modelling AWE as a single system, to the large, implementing AWESs in regional electricity systems. READ MORE
