  2. 21. Identification and synthesis of components for uncertainty propagation

    Author : Mladen Gibanica; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; substructuring; uncertainty propagation; uncertainty quantification; surrogate modelling; Monte Carlo method; interface reduction; state-space models; experimental methods; system identification;

    Abstract : For automotive structures, built-up of hundreds of components with property spread, knowing the effects of component variability and its propagation through the system assembly is important in order to mitigate noise and vibration problems. To increase the understanding of how the spread propagates into variability in built-up structures, both experimental and computational aspects are considered in this thesis. READ MORE

  4. 22. Antennas, Wave Propagation, and Localization in Wireless Body Area Networks

    Author : Rohit Chandra; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wireless Body Area Network; WBAN; body sensor network; body-centric communication; wearable devices; ear-to-ear propagation; antennas; analytical propagation model; localization; wireless capsule endoscopy; in-mouth device; implants;

    Abstract : A network of communicating wireless devices that are implantable, wearable or within close proximity of a human body is called wireless body area network (WBAN). The propagation channels for the devices in the WBAN are either through the body or over the body. READ MORE

  5. 23. Computational Solid Wave Propagation Numerical Techniques and Industrial Applications

    Author : Torbjörn Ekevid; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave propagation; multigrid; adaptivity; parallel; FEM; iterative; SBFEM;

    Abstract : For wave propagation and many other physical phenomena, the dynamic effects are vital. In industrial applications, such problems are very complex and generally have to be treated by means of numerical methods. READ MORE

  6. 24. Numerical simulation of crack propagation and wear in rails

    Author : Jim Brouzoulis; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wear; Rolling Contact Fatigue; crack propagation; railway mechanics;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with rail deterioration due to Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) and wear. Focus lies primarily on numerical modelling and prediction, with the long-term objective of developing tools to be used for specifications and planning of rail maintenance. READ MORE

  7. 25. Shape Optimization for Acoustic Wave Propagation Problems

    Author : Rajitha Udawalpola; Martin Berggren; Pekka Neittaanmäki; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shape optimization; design optimization; acoustic wave propagation; Helmholtz equation; Boundary Element Method; Finite Element Method; inverse problems; adjoint method; gradient-based optimization; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Boundary shape optimization is a technique to search for an optimal shape by modifying the boundary of a device with a pre-specified topology. We consider boundary shape optimization of acoustic horns in loudspeakers and brass wind instruments. READ MORE
