  1. 6. The price and income elasticity of demand for small houses in Swedish municipalities.

    University essay from Jönköping University/Internationella Handelshögskolan

    Author : David Hörnell; [2022]
    Keywords : Price elasticity of demand; Income elasticity of demand; Regional economics; Housing market; Sweden;

    Abstract : The housing market is one of the most important markets for many economic agents. Large differences in the local market across Sweden suggest regional heterogeneity, however. This study aims to answer if the price and income elasticities of demand for small houses vary between different types of Swedish municipalities. READ MORE

  3. 7. Wood and moisture-induced strains in a large deformation setting in 3D

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Fredrik Ström; Anwar Obeido; [2022]
    Keywords : Total Lagrangian; Finite element method; Large deformation theory; Deformation gradient decomposition; Moisture-induced strains; Hygroscopic; Orthotropic.;

    Abstract : Many studies have previously been done on moisture-induced strains in wood. An in- finitesimal/engineering strain model has been used for most of these studies, which is often an accurate approximation for small rotations. However, if large deformations oc- cur, then fictive strains are obtained resulting from the simplified engineering strain. READ MORE

  4. 8. CHARACTERISATION OF CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER PROPERTIES

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

    Author : Emil Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; in-plane loading; out-of-plane loading; beam; rolling shear modulus; experimental tests; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This project concerns an analysis of a hitherto untested method for determining the modulus of elasticity (MoE) and shear modulus parallel to grain, as well as the rolling shear modulus of cross laminated timber (CLT) through 3-point bending tests. A review of analytical models and methods is included, followed by an evaluation of the effect of the annual ring orientation and shear stress distribution at shear loading of individual board cross-sections.

  5. 9. Experimental and numerical analysis of orthotropic deformations of wood using Finite Strain Theory (large deformations) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) in 2D

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Honghao Ren; [2021]
    Keywords : Orthotropic material; Largedeformation; Two-dimension; Non-linear elasticity;

    Abstract : This thesis involves the derivation of a constitutive model under large deformationtheory using Updated Lagrange method applied on an orthotropic material.Thefollowing aspects are included in this thesis work: introduction, theory, FEM implementation, derivation of constitutive model, calibration, result, discussion, conclusion and the future work.

  6. 10. European Integration: Is it on track? A study of railway prices.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Henning Stenbeck; Erik Jacobsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Ramsey pricing; Transaction cost theory; European integration; Interstate travel; Railway prices; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate if there is a monetary cost associated with interstate travel by rail within the European Union and how this differs from intrastate railway travel in the Union. The paper makes use of two economic theories, Transaction cost theory and Ramsey pricing, to help explain the effect we find. READ MORE
