  1. 6. Strain Field Modelling using Gaussian Processes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Carl Jidling; [2017]
    Keywords : Bragg edge; strain field; Gaussian process; machine learning;

    Abstract : This report deals with reconstruction of strain fields within deformed materials. The method relies upon data generated from Bragg edge measurements, in which information is gained from neutron beams that are sent through the sample. READ MORE

  3. 7. Finite Element and Dynamic Stiffness Analysis of Concrete Beam-Plate Junctions

    University essay from KTH/MWL Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet

    Author : Patrik Andersson; [2016]
    Keywords : Train-induced; vibrations; building; Finite Element Method; FEM; Dynamic Stiffness;

    Abstract : Measurements and predictions of railway-induced vibrations are becoming a necessity in today’s society where land scarcity causes buildings to be put close to railway traffic. The short distances mean an increased risk of the indoor vibration and noise disturbances experienced by residents. READ MORE

  4. 8. A comparative treatment planning study of radiotherapy of clinical liver- and stomach-cancer cases with either photon or proton beams

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Gracinda Mondlane; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There has been an increasing interest in proton beam therapy (PBT) in recent years related to the advantageous depth-dose characteristics of proton beams compared to what is achievable with standard external photon beam radiotherapy (RT). With PBT, improved target dose conformity can be achieved together with a reduction in the dose to the organs at risk (OARs). READ MORE

  5. 9. Design of Edge Beams

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Ezdin Duran; [2014]
    Keywords : Edge Beams;

    Abstract : The purpose of the edge beam is to support the railing and the pavement, function as part of the drainage system and in the case it is integrated into the bridge deck it can serve to distribute concentrated loads. It is located in road environment and therefore exposed to water and salt with chlorides as well as subject to impacts during accidents. READ MORE

  6. 10. Edge Beams : Evaluation of the Investment Cost for Its Application to Life-Cycle Cost Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Martti Kelindeman; [2014]
    Keywords : bridge edge beam; investment cost; prefabrication;

    Abstract : Edge beams in Sweden are subjected to harsh environmental conditions, such as de-icing salts and numerous freeze-thaw cycles, which result in large expenditures for the maintenance of these items. Driven by that fact, a project was initiated to investigate the life of edge beams in more detail. READ MORE
