  1. 1. Fatigue in individuals with multiple sclerosis : lived experiences and perceived impact in daily life

    Författare :Gullvi Flensner; Birgitta Engström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; action-theory; cooling; daily life; fatigue; perceived health; phenomenology; scale testing; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Nursing; Vårdvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to gain knowledge about experiences of fatigue among individuals diagnosed with MS and to compare these experiences with those of individuals in the general population. Individuals' experiences of fatigue have been approached both inductively and deductively and qualitative and quantitative research methods have been combined. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fatigue, functional status, health and pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Författare :Kersti Theander; Mitra Unosson; Berit Lundman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; fatigue; functional status; health; pulmonary rehabilitation; Fatigue impact scale; confirmatory factor analysis; Nursing; Omvårdnad;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to describe fatigue, functional limitations due to fatigue and health in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as to compare patients with individuals from the general population and to test if pulmonary rehabilitation can reduce fatigue and functional limitations, and thus improve health. A further aim was to test the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) among patients with COPD. LÄS MER

  4. 3. A Framework for Fatigue Analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Structures

    Författare :Sara Eliasson; Zuheir Barsoum; Per Wennhage; Kim Branner; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heavy-duty vehicles; Fatigue; Carbon fiber reinforced polymer; Multi-scale modeling; Probabilistic modeling; Tunga fordon; Utmattning; Kolfiberkomposit; Probabilistisk modellering; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Our society depends on functional road communication, and Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDVs) offer convenient and limitless possibilities of transport and services. However, HDVs account for a quarter of the European Union's CO2 road emissions. There is a substantial need to reduce the CO2 emissions of HDVs to ensure a low negative environmental impact. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Thermal impact on rolling contact fatigue of railway wheels

    Författare :Sara Caprioli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway wheels; Thermomechanical finite element analysis; Frictional rolling contact; Thermal fracture; Tread braking; Rolling contact fatigue;

    Sammanfattning : Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is a very common and costly damage mechanism for rails and wheels. This thesis investigates the influence of combined thermal and mechanical loading on RCF of railway wheels on the basis of numerical predictions. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Data-driven Ship Performance Models - - Emphasis on Energy Efficiency and Fatigue Safety

    Författare :Xiao Lang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; semi-empirical; energy efficiency; fatigue assessment; grey-box; full-scale measurements; speed-power relationship; added resistance due to waves; ship performance; machine learning;

    Sammanfattning : Due to digitalization in the maritime industry, a huge amount of ship operation-related data has been collected. The main objective of this thesis is to exploit machine learning/big data analytics to build data-driven ship performance models, focusing on speed-power relationship modeling, and fatigue accumulation assessment during a ship’s operation at sea.
