  3. 2. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
    Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

    Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of Physics Informed Neural Networks in engineering simple structural analysis problems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Georgios Nentidis; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Neural Networks have found many applications for a long time in Machine Learning in different disciplines, and have especially flourished in the last decade because of the ever-increasing processing power especially from GPUs. Because of their ability to operate as universal function approximators and model nonlinear processes, attempts have been made in recent years to be also used for modeling partial differential equation (PDE) solutions.

  5. 4. Carabids as weed seed control agent : impact of soil cultivation on carabid weed seed regulation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Ellen Dahlgren; [2023]
    Keywords : weed seed predation; weed seed bank regulation; weed seed predation strength; seed predation strength; carabid beetles; tillage; piecewise structural equation model;

    Abstract : As weed seed predators, carabid beetles can regulate the weed seed bank within agricultural fields. Little is anyhow known about how weed seed bank regulation by carabids is affected by different tillage treatments with decreasing intensity, why this was here examined. READ MORE
