  2. 1. Moisture Influence on Structural Behaviour of Pavements : Field and Laboratory Investigations

    Author : Farhad Salour; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Guy Doré; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Falling Weight Deflectometer FWD ; backcalculation; unbound material; subgrade; seasonal variation; moisture content; spring-thaw; drainage; pavement stiffness; field test; pavement instrumentation; resilient modulus; permanent deformation; repeated load triaxial test; unsaturated soil; matric suction.; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Abstract : The structural behaviour of pavements in cold regions can considerably be affected by seasonal variation in environmental factors such as temperature and moisture content. Along with the destructive effect of heavy traffic loads, climatic and environmental factors can considerably contribute to pavement deterioration. READ MORE

  4. 2. System integration of electronic functionality in packaging application

    Author : Tomas Unander; Hans-Erik Nilsson; Bengt Oelmann; Shaofang Gong; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sensor platform; RFID; printed electronics; moisture sensors; Electronics; Elektronik;

    Abstract : Sensor applications are becoming increasingly important as products are now being requested to be more and more intelligent and safe. As the costs involved in sensor technology decrease its usage will spread to new market segments including new areas with products that have never previously used such functionalities, including, wood fibre based products for packaging, hygiene or graphical use.

  5. 3. Wood and fibre mechanics related to the thermomechanical pulping process

    Author : Jan-Erik Berg; Per Engstrand; Per A. Gradin; Tomas Björkqvist; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Acoustic emission; Chips; Compression tests; Defibration; Disc refiners; Energy consumption; Fibre structure; Force sensors; Fracture; Impact strength; Mathematical analysis; Moisture content; Picea abies; Refining; Stiffness degradation; Strains; Temperature; Thermomechanical pulping; Velocity; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    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

  6. 4. Resonant Microwave Sensors for Industrial Applications

    Author : Johan Nohlert; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element method; eigenvalue problems; microwave resonances; parameter estimation; process monitoring; microwave measurements; detection;

    Abstract : This thesis presents developments in the area of microwave-based sensor systems for industrial applications. The work is motivated by a need for advanced measurement techniques in industry in general, and the process industry in particular. READ MORE

  7. 5. Microwave sensors for scanning of sawn timber

    Author : Nils Lundgren; Olle Hagman; Gary Schajer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microwave scanning; wood; density; moisture content; strength grading; finite element; Electronic measurement and instrumentation; Elektronisk mät- och apparatteknik; Träteknik;

    Abstract : A microwave imaging sensor that measures the signal transmitted through a board was investigated with respect to the ability to predict the distribution of moisture and density in sawn lumber. Furthermore, the response from the sensor was related to strength properties of the boards. READ MORE
