    Keywords : Transport; Farkostteknik; Transport; Vehicle Engineering;

    Abstract : Abstract Modern engineering requires detailed knowledge of forces, flow directions and velocities, when designing the vehicles of the future. In the ship building industry this is traditionally done in towing tank and wind tunnel experiments or by the long experience of skilled engineers. READ MORE

  3. 17. Implementation and validation of an isogeometric hierarchic shell formulation

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Michael Loibl; [2019]
    Keywords : Isogeometric Analysis; Shell; Locking; Kirchho-Love; Reissner-Mindlin; Three-Dimensional Shell I;

    Abstract : Within this thesis, thin walled shell structures are discussed with modern element formulationsin the context of the Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). IGA was designed to achieve a directinterface from CAD to analysis. According to the concept of IGA, Non-Uniform RationalB-Splines (NURBS) are used as shape functions in the design and the analysis.

  4. 18. Open Hardware: Initial Experiences with Synthesizing Open Cores

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Daniel Degirmen; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract interface between the hardware and the lowest level software, describing the operations a processor must be able to execute. Most commercially successful ISAs are propitiatory, meaning that hardware designers are limited to the design and have to pay for a license if they wish to use it. READ MORE

  6. 20. Structure from Motion, a Cheaper Alternative for Three-Dimensional Modeling in Earth Science

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Viktor Fagerström; [2018]
    Keywords : Structure from Motion; photogrammetry; WebODM; “terrestrial laser scanning”; “open software”; Structure-from-Motion; Fotogrammetri; WebODM; LiDAR; markbunden laser-scanning; öppen källkod;

    Abstract : In this report, two methods for three-dimensional modeling are evaluated against each other. The first method is terrestrial laser scanning (LiDAR) that uses a laser beam to record the surrounding environment, and the second one is called Structure from Motion (SfM). READ MORE
