  2. 1. Human Body Model Morphing for Assessment of Crash Rib Fracture Risk for the Population of Car Occupants

    Author : Karl-Johan Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; crash; human body model; morphing; SAFER HBM; rib fracture risk; vehicle safety;

    Abstract : Fractured ribs are prevalent injury outcomes for vehicle occupants involved in crashes. Sex, age, and anthropometry of an occupant influences the risk to sustain rib fractures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evaluation of Morphed Human Body Models for Diverse Occupant Safety Analysis

    Author : Karl-Johan Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Diversity; Morphing; Validation; Virtual testing; Safety; Human body model;

    Abstract : Female, obese, and elderly occupants are at increased risk of injury in vehicle accidents. Human Body Models (HBMs) are used to represent the human anatomy and to study injury mechanisms in mathematical crash test simulations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lightweight multifunctional composites : An investigation into ion-inserted carbon fibres for structural energy storage, shape-morphing, energy harvesting & strain-sensing

    Author : Ross Harnden; Dan Zenkert; Paolo Ermanni; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flyg- och rymdteknik; Aerospace Engineering;

    Abstract : The transport sector accounts for around 26% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union and United Kingdom. By reducing the mass of vehicles it is possible to reduce these emissions substantially.One way to reduce vehicle mass is to use multifunctional structures. READ MORE

  6. 4. Exploring structural carbon fiber composites for mass-less energy and actuation

    Author : Wilhelm Johannisson; Dan Zenkert; Göran Lindbergh; Ian Bond; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flyg- och rymdteknik; Aerospace Engineering;

    Abstract : The energy consumption in transport is today a large contributor to global greenhouse emissions. One way of reducing these emissions is by electrification, which is an ongoing journey for the vehicle industry. The aeronautical industry has started investigations but are limited by the relatively low specific energy of batteries. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling and Sampling of Spectrally Structured Signals

    Author : Filip Elvander; Statistical Signal Processing Group; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spectral estimation; parameter estimation; optimal mass transport; covariance interpolation; misspecified models; inharmonicity;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five papers concerned with the modeling of stochastic signals, as well as deterministic signals in stochastic noise, exhibiting different kinds of structure. This structure is manifested as the existence of finite-dimensional parameterizations, and/or in the geometry of the signals' spectral representations. READ MORE
