  1. 1. The effect of taper on pile shaft bearing capacity : Finite element analysis of a tapered wooden pile in sulfate soil

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; [2023]
    Keywords : Pile; taper; timber piles; wooden piles; sulphide soil; sulfate soil; tapered piles;

    Abstract : he usage of piles, especially wooden piles, have been going on for thousands of years in construction and foundation reinforcements. Sometimes this was done temporary like the Romans who used wooden piles to construct bridges in Britain, or more permanently like the piles upon which the floating city of Venice stands. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of distribution coefficients (KOC and Kd) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Nika Nordanstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : PFAS; PFOS; organic contaminant; sorption; Kd; KOC; distribution coefficient; solubility; mobility; environmental fate; environmental transport; contaminated site; hydrophobic interaction; electrostatic interaction;

    Abstract : The dominating factors affecting sorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remain subject of research and debate. Traditionally, distribution coefficients (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 3. Develop Optimization Model for Spheroidal Graphite Iron

    University essay from

    Author : Rehman Babar; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The main motivation behind this study is to develop a methodology to generate surrogate model coefficients for parametrized Spheroidal Graphite Iron (SGI) for thermal expansion and Young’s modulus response. To accomplish this objective, a 3D model was created by Abaqus, and Python was used for developing the script. READ MORE

  5. 4. Behind the scenes of lockdowns and quarantines : A quantitative assessment of how legitimacy and capacity shaped early governmental responses to Covid-19 in European countries

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Emelie Hägerström; [2020]
    Keywords : Covid-19; stringency of lockdown policies; crisis management; coordination capacity; political trust; EU; Europe;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to gain insight to lockdowns and social distancing measures taken by European governments during the early period of the Covid-19 pandemic. Questions have been raised of whether the variations of responses can be systematically explained, which have so far received little attention in research. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a Method to Measure Residual Stresses in Cast Components with Complex Geometries

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Yang Yang; [2020]
    Keywords : Residual Stresses; Cast Iron; Engine Components; XRD; Ultrasonic; Cutting;

    Abstract : Cast iron, taking the advantages of the advanced castability forming components of complex geometries and favorable mechanical properties, is employed in engine components in truck industries. Compacted graphite iron (CGI) integrates both merits of lamellar graphite iron (LGI) and spheroidal graphite iron (SGI) such as good machinability and high thermal conductivity from LGI, high ultimate tensile strength (UTS), good fatigue resistance, high elastic modulus, and high ductility from SGI, thus is now becoming a competitive alternative of traditional LGI in cylinder blocks and heads.
