    Abstract : The effects of climate change are already being felt today, and future effects, which will be determined by the readiness and resolve of today’s world leaders, are fraught with high levels of complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity, and transboundary effects – characteristics of systemic risk. Since climate change is seen as a threat multiplier, the risks that might be impacted by climate change, such as floods and dam failure, will be affected by systemic risk characteristics as well.

  4. 2. Annealed Glass Failure Modelling : A Weakest-Link Approach with Statistical Analysis

    Author : David Kinsella; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; glass strength; structural glass; Weibull distribution; weakest-link system; statistical analysis; experimental tests; numerical modelling; finite element method; fracture mechanics;

    Abstract : Novel and increased use of glass in building construction has been made possible, as a result of methods of mass production introduced during the 20th century and advanced computational structural analyses. With modern use of glass structures, a range of demands emerge which need to be addressed in the strength design process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modeling framework for ageing of low alloy steel

    Author : Magnus Boåsen; Pål Efsing; Jonas Faleskog; Carl F. O. Dahlberg; Christian Niordson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Low alloy steel; length scale effects; size effects; plasticity; cleavage fracture; brittle fracture; weakest link; ageing; weld metal; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Ageing of low alloy steel in nuclear applications commonly takes the form as a hardening and an embrittlement of the material. This is due to the evolution of the microstructure during irradiation and at purely thermal conditions, as a combination or separate. READ MORE

    Abstract : With the increasing ubiquity of computing devices, their correct and secure operation is of growing importance. In particular, critical components that provide core functionalities or process sensitive data have to operate as intended. READ MORE

  7. 5. “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link” : collaborative care planning as a person-centred practice

    Author : Ingela Jobe; Åsa Engström; Birgitta Lindberg; Helle Wijk; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
