1. 1. Exploratory study on Additive Manufacturing in Urban mobility

   University essay from

   Author : Kaustubh Deshmukh; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis report presents a comprehensive study on the design and development of an Additively manufactured Unit cell for car door panels, aiming to enhance impact resistance and reduce noise transmission to the vehicle cabin. In order to accomplish these goals, the study focuses on combining two novel techniques namely quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) structures and phononic crystals (both scattering and locally resonating type).

3. 2. Integrating Fire Evacuation into the Building Information Modelling Workflow

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Nazim Yakhou; [2022]
   Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; Building Information Modelling; Fire Evacuation; Performance Based Design; Golden Thread of Information; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. READ MORE

   Abstract : 23% of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in 2019 was side-impact collisions and is a ongoing problem that continues to take people’s lives (IIHS, 2021a). IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) is an organization based in USA, which performs vehicle crash tests with the goal of making cars safer and reducing deaths and injuries. READ MORE

6. 5. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
   Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE
