2. 1. Micro-Structure Modelling of Acoustics of Open Porous Material

   Author : Eva Lundberg; Peter Göransson; Per Wennhage; Ulf Orrenius; Camille Perrot; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustics; porous material; flow resistivity; micro-structure; anisotropic; foam; strut; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : Transportation is a large and growing part of the world’s energy consumption. This drives a need for reduced weight of rail vehicles, just as it does for road vehicles. In spite of weight reductions, the vehicle still has to provide the same level of acoustic comfort for the passengers. READ MORE

5. 3. Computational Methods in Conceptual Structural Design

   Author : Vedad Alic; Byggnadsmekanik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; conceptual design; conceptual structural design; ground-borne vibrations; form finding; optimization; dynamic relaxation; graphic statics; reciprocal figures; strut-and-tie; finite element method; isogeometric analysis; NURBS; CAD; numerical modelling;

   Abstract : Conceptual design is the first phase in the design process in which all the requirements and design objectives are synthesized into conceptual alternatives. In practice today, major decisions regarding the buildings function, massing, and overall form are usually made during the first phase. READ MORE

6. 4. Shape Optimization for Electromagnetic and Quasimagnetostatic Applications

   Author : Per Jacobsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; shape optimization; continuum sensitivity; electromagnetic scattering; adjoint problem;

   Abstract : This thesis uses a continuum formulation of sensitivity for shape optimization in two-dimensional microwave scattering and quasimagnetostatic problems. The continuum sensitivity is obtained by solving an appropriate adjoint problem. READ MORE

7. 5. Assessment of prestressed concrete bridges loaded in combined shear, torsion and bending : uncertaintiers in deterministic and statistic methods

   Author : Arto Puurula; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : The aim of the thesis is to investigate the load-carrying capacity of bridges according to different models for shear in combination with bending, torsion and prestressing. The following models are studied: Model with traditional summation of the contributions from concrete and steel accroding to the Swedish Code BBK 94 Strut model according to the European code EC2 Modified Compression Field Theory from Canada The models are applied to the Källösund Bridge on the road to the island Tjörn on the West coast of Sweden.
