1. Adapted data collection in field utilizing RMR and the Q-system
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : The focus on slope stability has increased rapidly in Norway over the last years due to several unwanted landslides. In Norway, the most used method today to classify the rock mass and to determine the required reinforcement, is the Q-system. In addition to that the RMR method is also a commonly used method.

2. Rock Wedge Stability Assessment : A Comparative Analysis of Limit Equilibrium and Discrete Element Methods
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Rock wedge stability is a common concern in underground excavations. Since the wedge stability influences the support design, it is important to use a wedge stability analysis method that can capture factors like excavation geometry, joint parameters and properties, rock mass properties, rock cover, and stress field as accurately as possible.

4. Tribological characterization of a ball bearing subjected to an electric field : Electric drivetrain tribology
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Electric machines are widely used in for instance the automotive industry in electric vehicles and in wind turbines. The electrical machines have mechanical bearings as an integral part used to transmit power and load. In addition, the main function includes reducing friction between interacting surfaces. READ MORE

5. Understanding the Relation between Wind Power Output and Strategic Withholding through Production Failures: Evidence from Diversified Producers in Sweden
University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiAbstract : Previous research provide partial evidence for electricity producers utilizing production failures to disguise the strategic withholding of capacity as well as evidence of diversified electricity producers counteracting the price-reducing effect of the merit order through capacity withholding. In this study, we investigate whether an increased supply of wind power affects the number of reported unplanned production failures among diversified producers in Sweden, thus suggesting this being one of the specific mechanisms with which producers counteract the merit order effect.
