  4. 2. Moisture-induced Distortion in Norway Spruce Timber - Experiments and Models

    Author : MARIE JOHANSSON; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spiral grain angle; bow; spring; twist; wood; longitudinal shrinkage; crook; warp; compression wood; lumber;

    Abstract : Timber is a natural material that is environmentally friendly, renewable, light, strong and, in the eyes of most people, beautiful. Timber does, however, have one important drawback when it is used in a modern mechanised building process - its lack of straightness. READ MORE

  5. 3. Simulation Studies for Improved Efficiency in Road and Rail Freight Transports

    Author : Ingrid Johansson; Markus Bohlin; Oskar Fröidh; Behzad Kordnejad; Carl-William Palmqvist; C. Tyler Dick; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heavy-duty vehicle platooning; road traffic simulation; intelligent transport systems; optimal control; longitudinal cruise control; fuel economy; railway traffic simulation; microscopic simulation; macroscopic simulation; freight trains; early departures; capacity; railway stations; strategic planning; timetable compression; UIC Code 406; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

    Abstract : The demand for road and rail freight transport continues to grow with the expanding economy, while the climate crisis requires reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, tools and solutions for reducing fossil fuel use and enabling more efficient use of infrastructure are needed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wood and fibre mechanics related to the thermomechanical pulping process

    Author : Jan-Erik Berg; Per Engstrand; Per A. Gradin; Tomas Björkqvist; Mittuniversitetet; []

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis was to improve the understanding of some aspects on wood and fibre mechanics related to conditions in the thermomechanical pulping process. Another objective was to measure the power distribution between the rotating plates in a refiner. READ MORE

  7. 5. Static and time-dependent mechanical behaviour of preserved archaeological wood : Case studies of the seventeenth century warship Vasa

    Author : Alexey Vorobyev; Kristofer Gamstedt; Eiichi Obataya; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; archaeological wood; compression test; cubic samples; elastic constants; oak wood; barrelling formation; quasi-static loading; resonant ultrasound spectroscopy RUS ; Vasa ship; creep; 3D laser scanning; Time-dependent behaviour;

    Abstract : Wooden objects have been widely used in the history of humanity and play an important role in our cultural heritage. The preservation of such objects is of great importance and can be a challenging task. This thesis investigates the static and time-dependent mechanical behaviour of archaeological oak wood from the Vasa warship. READ MORE
