1. 1. Evaluation of SCPT-surveys as method for accessing dynamic modulus

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Joakim Granskär; [2018]
   Keywords : SCPT; Dynamic modulus; Seismic surveys;

   Abstract : The purpose of this master thesis is to evaluate the results from the completed SCPT (Seismic Cone Penetration Test) surveys with respect to the methods ability to estimate dynamic young´s modulus. This has been done by comparing the result from SCPT to other seismic methods and dynamic parameters converted from “static” geotechnical surveys. READ MORE

3. 2. Relationship between Shear-Wave Velocity and Consolidation Parameters of Peat

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geoteknik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

   Author : Oskar Markström; [2018]
   Keywords : shear wave velocity; peat; constant rate of strain; consolidation parameters; von Post; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There is a need of developing methods for evaluating material parameters for peat. It is hard and costly to obtain undisturbed samples for laboratory testing of the peat. Therefore, in this thesis the possibility of using in situ measurements of the shear wave velocity for first order estimates of the consolidation parameters has been investigated. READ MORE

4. 3. Analysis of Multicomponent Data to Study Esker Structures, Turku-Finland

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Geofysik

   Author : Julia Fridlund; [2017]
   Keywords : Finland; esker structures; reflection seismology; multicomponent data; S-wave; Finland; rullstensås; reflexionsseismik; flerkomponentdata; S-vågor;

   Abstract : Eskers are long winding ridges that originate from gravel that has travelled in meltwater streams in glaciers. At the study site, Virttaankangas plane in southwest Finland, there are esker structures covered by sediments. One reason why it is important to study eskers is because they are used for purifying drinking water. READ MORE

5. 4. Implementation of Shear Wave Elastography in Cervical Applications

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

   Author : Anna Larsson; [2016]
   Keywords : Shear wave elastography; cervix; stiffness; Verasonics; curvilinear transducer;

   Abstract : Each year million of babies are born pre-term, some of these pre-term births occur due to the motherhaving a too soft cervix which can not withstand the forces the baby exposes it to. The aim of thisstudy was to implement and evaluate a programmable shear wave elastography ultrasound system forcervical applications and investigate the optimal settings of shear wave elastography push voltage andshear wave elastography push focus depth.

6. 5. Petrophysical and GeophysicalAnalysis of Ordovician Limestone Mounds for the Purpose of Hydrocarbon Reservoir Exploration : Petrofysisk och geofysisk analys av Ordoviciska kalkstensstrukturer för hydrokarbonprospektering

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Felix Söderberg; [2015]
   Keywords : Gotland; hydrocarbons; Ordovicium; mounds; reefal structures; Hydrokarbon; revstruktur; slamhög; ordovicium; Gotland;

   Abstract : Gripen Oil & Gas have extended their prospecting license on Gotland to the north end of the island to search for potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. Earlier prospecting has shown that limestone mound structures from Ordovicium have high potential as hydrocarbon reservoirs due to their antiformal shape and the petrophysical properties of the limestone.
