  1. 1. INVESTIGATION INTO THE POTENTIAL OF ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM VEHICULAR MOTION INDUCED AIR FLOW IN MALAYSIA

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jazeel Eramakkaveettil Puthiyakath; [2020]
    Keywords : wind power; vehicle induced turbulences; urban wind power generation;

    Abstract : With the rise in energy consumption and usage by an exploding human population and higher quality of life, it is time to switch to renewable energy sources that have lower impacts on the natural world. Commercial scale wind power has seen tremendous growth in the last two decades and is expected to continue growing. READ MORE

  3. 2. Horizontal natural frequency in a 10 story building : A comparison between CLT and concrete using estimate calculations

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Jennifer Eriksson; [2018]
    Keywords : Horizontal natural frequency; tall timber building; timber structure; CLT; wind induced motion; tall CLT building; Horisontell egenfrekvens; hög träbyggnad; höga trähus; KL-trä; vindinducerade rörelser; högt KL-hus;

    Abstract : Tall slender buildings are easily set in motion by wind and earthquakes but by estimating the buildings horizontal natural frequencies in the design phase, these motions can be kept within acceptable boundaries. There are many parameters that decides the natural frequency of a building and it can therefore be difficult to calculate it. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modeling, Control and Optimal Trajectory Determination for an Autonomous Sailboat

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Carl Strömbeck; [2017]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A fleet of autonomous sailboat could change our perception of the planet. An autonomous sailboat could not only conduct environmental research but also perform month long operations through the energy efficient wind propulsion. This thesis is the work behind the development of an autonomous catamaran model sailboat. READ MORE

  5. 4. Wind effects on high rise buildings.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Ánundi Fannar Saemundsson; [2007]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The wind effects on high rise buildings were studied by finding and reading books, articles and studying equations. This was done to calculate the first natural frequency of high rise buildings, wind induced acceleration on high rise buildings and how the comfort criteria of acceleration performing on high rise buildings acts on human bodies living in the building.
