  1. 1. The effect of taper on pile shaft bearing capacity : Finite element analysis of a tapered wooden pile in sulfate soil

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

    Author : Jonathan Lindström; [2023]
    Keywords : Pile; taper; timber piles; wooden piles; sulphide soil; sulfate soil; tapered piles;

    Abstract : he usage of piles, especially wooden piles, have been going on for thousands of years in construction and foundation reinforcements. Sometimes this was done temporary like the Romans who used wooden piles to construct bridges in Britain, or more permanently like the piles upon which the floating city of Venice stands. READ MORE

  3. 2. Precisions- och tidsstudie av höjdmätare på stående skog

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Gustav Georgsson; Jesper Ottosson; [2022]
    Keywords : höjdmätare; skogsuppskattning; precision;

    Abstract : Skogsmästarstudenter på SLU har i sitt examensarbete studerat och jämfört precisionen samt tidsåtgången mellan tre olika höjdmätare. Ett träds höjd används vid flera olika sammanhang, exempelvis används trädets höjd som en komponent vid beräkning av trädets biomassa. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation Of The Influence Of Geometrical Parameters On Heat Transfer In Matrix Cooling : A Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Fabian Maletzke; [2021]
    Keywords : turbine; blade cooling; matrix cooling; latticework cooling; CFD; heat transfer; RANS;

    Abstract : Modern gas turbine blades and vanes are operated at temperatures above their material’s melting point. Active external and internal cooling are therefore necessary to reach acceptable lifetimes. One possible internal cooling method is called matrix cooling, where a matrix of intersecting cooling air channels is integrated into a blade or vane. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Hanging Rope: A Convex Optimization Problem in the Calculus of Variations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Erik Steen; [2020]
    Keywords : Elasticity theory; non-linear materials; calculus of variation; convex analysis; Legendre transform; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : We study the problem first introduced by Verma and Keller in 1984 of how to taper a heavy rope such that its elongation is minimized. The problem is stated as an optimization problem of a functional J[w]. Specifically we provide a proof of optimality for the solution using traditional convex optimization techniques. READ MORE

  6. 5. From safety code to safety in operations : A qualitative study of safety management within five companies operating in the Swedish shipping industry

    University essay from KTH/Ergonomi

    Author : Johannah Olsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Safety management; Safety management system; Swedish shipping companies; resilience engineering; complex socio-technical systems;

    Abstract : The maritime industry is vital to the Swedish trade and economy. Shipping has less environmental impact per ton transported goods than other transport modes. Furthermore, ships use the sea as their roads, thus not requiring additional impact on the environment in the form of building roads or tracks to be able to transport goods or people. READ MORE
