  1. 1. Validation of An Iteration Free Material Model for Paperboard (NEO)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Samuel Thomas Staines; [2022]
    Keywords : Paperboard; orthotropic; Constitutive equilibrium free; Non-linear; Curve fit constitutive relation; switch-wise history dependence; total formulation; explicit constitutive relation; In-plane; Elastic-plastic; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The NEO model, developed by Lindström (2019) for paperboard, is a non-linear material model that utilizes empirically based constitutive relations with switches to mimic elastic-plastic responses. Due to the explicit definition of the constitutive relations, the NEO model does not require a constitutive equilibrium loop. READ MORE

  2. 2. Shear Failure of Steel Fiber and Bar Reinforced Concrete Beams Without Stirrups : Predictions based on Nonlinear Finite Element Analyses

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : David Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element analysis; Shear failure; Fiber reinforced concrete beams; ATENA;

    Abstract : Shear failure in concrete beams are often brittle in nature and potentially dangerous without adequatereinforcing measures. In design of concrete, it is commonly recommended to install transversalreinforcement along the shear span to induce a more ductile structural response, improving the shearcapacity all together and providing sufficient warning prior to collapse.

  3. 3. The Sweden Democrats and the issue of climate change -A study on the definition and legitimization of social realities in a globalized world with a specific focus on power relations

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för humaniora, utbildnings- och samhällsvetenskap

    Author : Charlotta Enqvist; [2021]
    Keywords : Sweden Democrats; far-right; right-wing populism; nationalism; climate change; power relations; definition; legitimization; globalization; critical discourse analysis;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to investigate the constructed vision of social reality that the Sweden Democrats define and thus defend and legitimizes through their climate and environmental policy. With a focus on the power relations that are constitutive of the Sweden Democrats' definition of social reality, the intention is to clarify the Sweden Democrats' position on the issue of climate change and to make visible what underlies their actions concerning the ratification of the Paris Agreement.

  4. 4. A revised narrative of the Baltic Sea in Sweden : a phenomenological reflection on the multifaceted human-sea interrelations and communication

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Daniela Kreber; [2021]
    Keywords : The Baltic Sea; marine environment; narratives; phenomenology; human-sea relations; terrestrial bias; more-than-human perspective; ocean literacy; environmental communication;

    Abstract : Far from everyday reality and vast in size, seas and oceans are often subject to overarching narratives obscuring their reality. Natural sciences, technology, and the economic perspective exercise a dominant influence on the problem formulations that both shape our understandings of marine environments and frame marine decision-making processes.

  5. 5. GDP and post-GDP - A Spurious Divorce

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

    Author : Dominic Austin; [2020]
    Keywords : GDP; post-GDP; poststructuralism; constructivist institutionalism; discourse; genealogy; logics; development committee; IMF; economics;

    Abstract : Where post-GDP, a socio-ecological substitute of GDP, has become increasingly salient within international relations, its practice at an institutional economic level remains largely marginalised. At a discursive level, however, both GDP and post-GDP appear to be both supplementary and antithetical to one another. READ MORE
