  2. 1. End-Shield Bridges for High-Speed Railway : Full scale dynamic testing and numerical simulations

    Author : Hesham Elgazzar; Jean-Marc Battini; Mahir Ülker-Kaustell; Morgan Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high-speed railway; end-shield bridges; structural dynamics; soil structure interaction; full scale bridge testing; controlled forced excitation; hydraulic bridge exciter; frequency response function; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : The increasing need for High-Speed Railway (HSR) to reduce the travelling time requires increasing research within this field. Bridges are main components of any railway network, including HSR networks, and the optimization of their design for this purpose would contribute to a faster and more cost effective development of the HSR network.

  4. 2. Understanding the system-level for Mobility as a Service : A framework to evaluate full-scale impacts of MaaS

    Author : Bhavana Vaddadi; Anna Pernestål Brenden; Yusak Susilo; Mia Xiaoyun Zhao; Jeppe Rich; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mobility as a Service; system-level; perspective; framework; experiments; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Mobility as a Service (MaaS), as a concept, has been widely popularised and considered to hold promising potential in reducing travel-related environmental impacts and transforming our current transport system. MaaS enables intermodal travel by providing enhanced features for users to access multiple mobility services. READ MORE

  5. 3. Energy from Ocean Waves : Full Scale Experimental Verification of a Wave Energy Converter

    Author : Rafael Waters; Mats Leijon; Jan Sundberg; Jonny Hylander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave power; wave energy converter; sea trials; ocean energy; linear generator; point absorber; search coil; wave climate; utilization; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : A wave energy converter has been constructed and its function and operational characteristics have been thoroughly investigated and published. The wave energy converter was installed in March of 2006 approximately two kilometers off the Swedish west coast in the proximity of the town Lysekil. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aspects of Efficient Parameter Estimation for Diesel Oxidation Catalysts

    Author : Björn Lundberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MVDA; Mass Transport Modeling; Engine Test Bench; Design of Experiments; Kinetic modeling; DOC; Full Scale; Parameter Estimation; Exhaust Aftertreatment Modeling;

    Abstract : In this thesis the objective was to tune the model parameters of diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) to measurement data from engine rig experiments in an efficient manner. The scope was however not limited to the algorithm of parameter search alone but instead included the whole process starting with the design of experiments. READ MORE

  7. 5. Process Optimization of UV-Based Advanced Oxidation Processes in VOC Removal Applications
