1. Environmental Barrier Coatings to protect Ceramic Matrix Composites in next-generation jet engines
University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : Gas turbine engine efficiency needs to be raised in order to decrease fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and expenses. Efficiency may be improved in two ways: by reducing engine weight and raising intake temperatures. READ MORE

2. Developement of a numeric tool for fatigue life evaluation of the regulating mechanism in Kaplan runners
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Kaplan turbines are a type of hydropower turbine with adjustable runner blades. This allows the turbine to alter its power output while maintaining a relatively high efficiency over a wide range of power levels. But these frequent blade angel adjustments exposes the turbines internal mechanism to wear and the possibility of fatigue failure. READ MORE

3. Synchrotron X-ray Tomography Study of Bone-implant Integration
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Implant loosening is a recurring problem in the field of orthopedics, typically resulting in a physical and financial burden for the patient. Proper integration of orthopedic implants within host bones is a fundamental requirement for the successful function and limited risk of failure of implants which, in-vivo, must support various loading conditions.

4. Detection of voids in welded joints using ultrasonic inspection : Quality control of welded joints in copper canisters for purpose of permanent storage of used nuclear waste
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : This thesis was done i cooperation with SKB Clab in Oskarshamn and studies use of sonic waves for detecting voids and irregularities in the weld joints of copper capsules used for long term storage of radioactive waste. Since these could pose material failure and thereby risk radioactive contamination of ground water it is very important to find means of quality control before storage. READ MORE

5. Study of the Resistive Switching Mechanism in Novel Ultra-thin Organic-inorganic Dielectric-based RRAM through Electrical Observations
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : The promising role resistive random-access memory (RRAM) plays in the imminent reality of wearable electronics calls for a new, updated physical model of their operating mechanism. Their high applicability as the next-generation flexible non-volatile memory (NVM) devices has promoted the recent emergence of a novel ultra-thin (< 5nm) organic/inorganic hybrid dielectric RRAM.
