  1. 16. Methodology for analysis of traffic-induced building vibrations

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

    Author : Rickard Torndahl; Tobias Svensson; [2017]
    Keywords : infinite elements; soil dynamics; structural dynamics; wave propagation; dynamic reduction; traffic-induced vibration; finite element method; building vibration; structural design; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Urban population growth leads to denser cities where buildings are being constructed closer to sources of vibration like motorways, railways and tramways. The risk of disturbing vibrations is thereby increasing which could affect residents and sensitive equipment, for instance equipment used in hospitals. READ MORE

  3. 17. Control Strategy Investigation for a Down-Scaled Forwarder : Refinement, Testing and Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : ANQING DUAN; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The predominant method of trees harvesting in Nordic countries is cut-to-length logging (CTL). CTL is realized by two machines: a harvester which is used for felling the trees, and a forwarder which is used for transporting the logs to a road accessible by trucks. READ MORE

  4. 18. Reduction of vibration transmitted through car seats : A study to reduce test drivers’ whole-body vibrations at Volvo Car Group’s test facility

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Malin Fellenius; [2017]
    Keywords : Ergonomics; Front seat; Whole-body vibration;

    Abstract : Present thesis will concentrate on the attention to reduce the input of whole-body vibrations transmitted to test drivers in durability tests. On behalf of Volvo Cars, the purpose has been to develop a concept solution on the driver's seat. Solving this problem is significant due to test driver’s safety and theirs ergonomically conditions.

  5. 19. Predicting Railway-Induced Ground Vibrations

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

    Author : Nils Persson; [2016]
    Keywords : ground vibrations; railway; train; wave propagation; vibration measurements; finite element method; dynamics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Population growth and densification lead to growing urban environments. Unbuilt land within cities can be used to construct residences and other facilities. Population growth can further lead to a greater demand of transportation, which can require expansion of transportation systems such as railways or road traffic. READ MORE

  6. 20. Numerical analysis of vibrations due to impact pile driving

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

    Author : Sebastian Andersson Olivecrona; Rasmus Sulander; [2016]
    Keywords : Finite element method; Concrete pile; Impact pile driving; Ground vibrations; Soil mechanics; Soil dynamics; COMSOL Multiphysics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Vibrations originating from constructional work can affect the nearby soil and structures. Depending on the properties of the vibrations, these can result in settlements in the soil and damages to existing structures. Along with blasting, impact pile driving is one of the greatest sources of vibrations on a construction site. READ MORE
