  2. 1. Running-in of gears from a surfacetransformation and efficiency point of view

    Author : Mario Sosa; Ulf Olofsson; Lars Mattsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; running-in; surface transformation; efficiency; gears; ground; su- perfinished; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Requirements today for machines have moved beyond functionality intoefficiency and reliability, gears are no exception. The presented work focuseson the analysis of the measurement, evolution and effect of running-in on geardrives from a surface roughness and efficiency point of view. READ MORE

  5. 3. A ground-borne noise prediction model for railway traffic in tunnels in bedrock

    Author : Fatemeh Dashti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway tunnel induced vibration; Ground-borne noise and vibration; Wave propagation in bedrock; Prediction of noise.;

    Abstract : Human life has become more manageable by the expansion of railway lines. However, despite providing convenience, railways increase noise and vibration in residential areas. Vibrations and noise generated by railways may harm human health, cause cosmetic damage and have an adverse impact on the environment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Prediction and Optimisation of Traffic Noise. A Study on Noise Barriers and Shielded Areas

    Author : Pontus Thorsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; city canyon; absorption; city noise; insertion loss; traffic noise; soundscape; silent side; noise barrier; ground impedance;

    Abstract : The main contribution of noise levels in cities is today road traffic. The strongest source for all road vehicles is most often the tyre-road contact. This source position close to the ground is fortunate with respect to secondary noise abatement measures, such as absorbing road surfaces or noise barriers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Safety Culture in Sea and Aviation Transport

    Author : Åsa Ek; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; organizational climate; air traffic control; safety culture; passenger shipping; airport ground handling; Social sciences; Samhällsvetenskaper; Development psychology; Utvecklingspsykologi; Applied and experimental psychology; Tillämpad och experimentell psykologi; Technological sciences; Teknik; Säkerhetsteknik; Safety technology;

    Abstract : The research presented in this thesis investigates sea and aviation transport safety culture, with a focus on perceptions and attitudes. A safety culture reflects the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and values that individuals share in relation to safety. READ MORE
