  2. 1. On the Experimental Determination of Damping of Metals and Calculation of Thermal Stresses in Solidifying Shells

    Author : Jonas Åberg; Hasse Fredriksson; Björn Widell; Michael Vynnycky; Toshihiko Emi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; material damping; measurement methods; calorimetric methods; optical strain gauge measurements; hot cracking; stress in solid shells; ALE; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis explores experimentally and theoretically two different aspects of the properties and behaviour of metals: their ability to damp noise and their susceptibility to crack when solidifying. The first part concerns intrinsic material damping, and is motivated by increased demands from society for reductions in noise emissions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fiber-optic sensors for blood flow and respiration rate measurements

    Author : Erik Stenow; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Optical fibers and fiber-optic sensors have in the last century been subjects for a great interest especially in industry and communication but also in medicine. Optical fibers are used in endoscopes and as light guides for laser surgery. READ MORE

  5. 3. Differential railway track settlement in a transition zone – Field measurements and numerical simulations

    Author : Kourosh Nasrollahi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fibre Bragg grating sensors; dynamic vehicle–track interaction; heavy haul traffic; non-linear track model; 3MB slab track; Transition zone; empirical settlement model; condition monitoring;

    Abstract : In a transition zone between two different railway track forms, there is a discontinuity in track structure leading to a gradient in track stiffness. Examples include transitions between different superstructures, e.g., slab track to ballasted track, and/or between different substructures, e. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the Residual Stresses and Microstructure Formation of Aluminum-Silicon Cast Alloys

    Author : Mohsen Sadrossadat; Sten Johansson; Ru Lin Peng; Ingvar L Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Al-Si alloys; residual stresses; microstructure; microsegregation; nucleation behavior; modeling; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Cast aluminum-silicon alloys are being increasingly used in automotive and aerospace industries for critical structure applications because of their excellent castability, low density, acceptable mechanical properties and low cost. Different casting and heat treatment parameters largely affect the microstructure and residual stress of the components, which in turn, has a great impact on their mechanical properties. READ MORE
