  1. 6. HSI effects on pedestrian bridges

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Giancarlo Costa; [2021]
    Keywords : Dynamics; HSI; Human Structure Interaction; pedestrian bridge;

    Abstract : The study on Human Structure Interaction (HSI) effects represent a new research field in the design of pedestrian bridges. The presence of pedestrians on the structure affects the dynamic properties of the bridge, and these changes may be quantified in order to design pedestrian bridges in a more efficient way.

  3. 7. Role of damping in NVH CAE procedures

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Rahul Sharma; [2021]
    Keywords : NVH; CAE; Damping;

    Abstract :   Automotive manufacturers currently face a challenge with expeditious enhancement of the vibro-acoustic properties of their vehicles. A major reason for this setback is the limited design information available during initial development stages added with limited knowledge of damping within complex structures. READ MORE

  4. 8. Load Control Aerodynamics in Offshore Wind Turbines

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Lorenzo Cantoni; [2021]
    Keywords : Wind Turbine; Offshore; Blade; Rotor; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Airfoil; Aerodynamic; Aeroelasticity; Simulation; Fluid; Structure; Interaction; Loads; Control; Response; Harmonics; Vibration; Damping; Flutter; Trailing Edge; Flaps; Wind Gust; Lift; Drag; Unsteady; Pressure; Velocity; Vindkraftverk; offshore; blad; rotor; beräkningsvätske-dynamik; flygplatta; aerodynamisk; aeroelasticitet; simulering; vätska; struktur; interaktion; belastningar; kontroll; respons; övertoner; vibrationer; dämpning; fladdring; bakkant; klaffar; vindstöt; lyft; Drag; ostadig; tryck; hastighet;

    Abstract : Due to the increase of rotor size in horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) during the past 25 years in order to achieve higher power output, all wind turbine components and blades in particular, have to withstand higher structural loads. This upscalingproblem could be solved by applying technologies capable of reducing aerodynamic loads the rotor has to withstand, either with passive or active control solutions. READ MORE

  5. 9. Influence of Foundation Modelling on the Seismic Response of a Concrete Dam

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Stella Harrison; Siri Nöjd; [2021]
    Keywords : concrete dam; earthquake; finite element analysis; free-field forces; mass foundation; betong dam; jordbävning; finita element analys; free-field forces; inkluderad bergsmassa;

    Abstract : It is of great importance to ensure the structural safety of dams during earthquakes since a failure may cause catastrophic consequences. Conventional computation of the structural response of dams is based on a simplified approach where the foundation is considered as massless. READ MORE

  6. 10. Experimental Investigation of Fluid-added Parameters on a Kaplan Runner

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Malin Strandberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Added mass; added inertia; fluid dynamics; hydropower; Kaplan turbine; fluid-solid interaction;

    Abstract : In order to reach climate and environmental goals, Sweden is increasing the implementation of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power to the electricity grid. The increase of intermittent energy sources is rising power regulation requirement towards hydropower, which increasingly exposes the hydraulic turbines to high loads and fluctuating hydraulic forces.
