  1. 16. Machine learning for risk ranking of component failure : A comparative study of traditional- and survival machine learning approaches applied to historical data

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

    Author : Fredrik Nilsson; Fanny Fristedt; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Survival analysis; Trains; Freight trains; Damage prediction; Maskininlärning; överlevnadsanalys; tåg; godståg; Skadeprediktion;

    Abstract : This master thesis investigates the use of machine learning for predicting and assessing the risk of railway vehicle component failures. Data used for failure prediction often comes with limitations due to the complex nature of maintenance or sometimes requires investments for the extraction of information. READ MORE

  3. 17. Dam Failure Analysis of the Parteboda Hydropower Plant : A deterministic approach

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Magnus Simon Graf; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Despite all the benefits a dam can provide, hundreds of years of experience have shown the destructive forces that can be unleashed by dam failure. To carry out risk management and execute mitigative measures for a dam facility, it is first necessary to assess the incremental consequences of a potential dam failure. READ MORE

  4. 18. Testing of AblativeMaterials as a Protective Coating for Rocket Launch Pads

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

    Author : Gioele Daka; [2023]
    Keywords : Ablative Materials; Protective Coating; Rocket Launchpad; Refractory Materials; Oxyacetylene Torch; Slug Calorimeter; Ablativa material; Skyddande beläggning; Raketstartplatta; eldfast material; acetylensyrebrännare; kopparkalorimeter;

    Abstract : As the space market grows, demand for sites to host rocket tests and to launch satellites to orbit is expected to increase. During these activities, the launch infrastructure needs to withstand the extreme thermal and mechanical loads associated with the exhaust of a rocket engine. READ MORE

  5. 19. Atrial fibrillation burden and the risk of all-cause mortality : A systematic review

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Elliot Eriksson; Indra Wäringer; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Globally, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. AF related complications include stroke, heart failure and death. AF burden, preferably defined as total time an individual is in AF during a specified monitoring period, is a term being mentioned more frequently. READ MORE

  6. 20. Identification of key factors that support and limit action plan implementation after a SimEx and suggestions on how to overcome the challenges

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet; Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI)

    Author : Zeth Söderlund; [2023]
    Keywords : simulation exercise; evaluation; action plan; implementation; challenges; usefulness; improve; learning; lessons learnt; debrief session; capacity development; capacity strengthening; capacity building; disaster risk management; disaster risk reduction; emergency preparedness; disaster preparedness; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : It is difficult to prepare for events with large-scale consequences and low probability. Simulation exercises (SimEx) provide the opportunity to improve preparedness through strengthening capabilities before an actual emergency. Conducting a SimEx could be very expensive and therefore the SimEx should be thoroughly evaluated. READ MORE
