  2. 11. Continuous Welded Railway Rails: Residual Stress Analyses, Fatigue Assessments and Experiments

    Author : Anders Skyttebol; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microstructure; laser cladding; plasticity; rolling contact; computational welding mechanics; materials testing; flash butt welding; fatigue; railway rails; fatigue crack propagation; finite element method;

    Abstract : Railway rails are today often continuously welded. This type of joint generally requires less maintenance than is needed for the bolted joints. It has also reduced wheel damage and made the ride more comfortable. However, these joints are subject to damage. READ MORE

  4. 12. Development of a Methodology for Dynamic Testing of Rock Support : Field Tests and Numerical Analysis

    Author : Shahin Shirzadegan; Erling Nordlund; Ping Zhang; Charlie Chunlin Li; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : The increasing mining depth in the Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) mine located in the northern part of Sweden leads to higher stress magnitudes, resulting in increased seismic activity and more seismically-induced damage. The effectiveness of various ground support systems under dynamic loading conditions has therefore become of prime interest to LKAB for successful and safe mining at deep levels. READ MORE

  5. 13. Lymphedema and Health-Related Quality of Life

    Author : Pia Klernäs; Health Sciences Centre; []
    Keywords : Lymphedema; Sensitivity; Responsiveness; Reliability; Validity; PROM; Questionnaire; Quality of life; Psychometric testing; lymfödem; Livskvalitet; psykometriska tester; reliabilitet; sensitivitet; validitet; responsiveness; enkät;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to develop a lymphedema-specific instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to evaluate how persons with lymphedema experience HRQoL. Lymphedema is defined as swelling in one or more parts of the body that is due to impaired lymph drainage and transport. READ MORE

  6. 14. In-situ testing of floating thermal piles in soft sensitive clay

    Author : Anders Bergström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maintained; Cyclic Thermal loading; Energy piles; Field Test; Thermal Piles;

    Abstract : Thermal piles are structural piles with additional function of working as geothermal heat exchangers towards the soil volume. Heating and cooling process of soft soils is known to affect the stress state and soil structure, with potential consolidation settlements and creep as undesired consequences. READ MORE

  7. 15. Development of a methodology for in-situ dynamic testing of ground support

    Author : Shahin Shirzadegan; Lars-Olof Dalhström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : The increasing mining depth leads to higher stress magnitudes, resulting in increased seismic activity and more seismically-induced damage. The effectiveness of the ground support system under dynamic loading conditions has therefore become of prime interest to the mining companies in order to provide safe mining conditions with a minimum of production disturbances caused by unstable infrastructure.
