3. 2. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
   Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

   Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE

4. 3. Local Nature Matters : A Story of How Empowerment from Tourism Contributes to Local Nature Stewardship in Rural Communities

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för marknadsföring och turismvetenskap (MTS)

   Author : Sarah Nieutin; [2023]
   Keywords : Place attachment; resident empowerment through tourism; nature stewardship; care for nature; resident attitudes towards nature stewardship; nature’s contribution to people framework; social exchange theory;

   Abstract : This Master thesis examines the role of resident empowerment in rural nature tourism in shaping the relations between how residents engage with local places and local nature stewardship in Plouguerneau, France. Through a conceptual framework that includes the concepts of empowerment, place attachment, care for nature, and nature stewardship, the study models the effect of place attachment and care for nature on resident stewardship attitudes and how resident empowerment in tourism mediates this relationship.

5. 4. Evaluation of Physics Informed Neural Networks in engineering simple structural analysis problems

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Georgios Nentidis; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Neural Networks have found many applications for a long time in Machine Learning in different disciplines, and have especially flourished in the last decade because of the ever-increasing processing power especially from GPUs. Because of their ability to operate as universal function approximators and model nonlinear processes, attempts have been made in recent years to be also used for modeling partial differential equation (PDE) solutions.

6. 5. Uncertainty quantification for offshore wind turbines

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Ziming Wang; [2022]
   Keywords : wind energy; uncertainty propagation; polynomial chaos; Rosenblatt transformation; quadrature; regression; vindenergi; osäkerhetsutbredning; polynomkaos; Rosenblatt transformation; kvadratur; regression;

   Abstract : Wind energy is a field with a large number of uncertainties. The random nature of the weather conditions, including wind speed, wind direction, and turbulence intensity, influences the energy output and the structural safety of a wind farm, making its performance fluctuate and difficult to predict.
