  1. 1. Input Estimation in Structural Dynamics

    Författare :Lars Nordström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sensitivity analysis; dynamic programming; input estimation; load identification; ill-posedness; regularization; indirect force measurement; inverse problems;

    Sammanfattning : Knowledge of time-varying excitation is of importance in the design of a wide range of engineering applications, from spacecraft and processing plants to electronic circuits. Regardless of the actual application or underlying physics, the expected input will play a key role in the determination of adequate system properties and parameters. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Adaptive Finite Element Procedures in Structural Dynamics

    Författare :Xiangdong Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element; h-adaptivity; Newmark method; structural dynamics; space-time; a posteriori; superconvergent patch recovery; postprocessing; automatic time-stepping; semidiscretization; error estimation; discontinuous Galerkin;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with a posteriori error estimation and adaptivity in finite element procedures for the analysis of structural dynamic problems. First, error estimation and adaptivity for the Newmark time integration method are studied. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Hidden Markov Models: Identification, Inverse Filtering and Applications

    Författare :Robert Mattila; Bo Wahlberg; Cristian R. Rojas; John Lygeros; Jan H. van Schuppen; Tobias Rydén; Ayca Özcelikkale; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hidden Markov models; HMM; inverse filtering; identification; estimation; method of moments; counter-adversarial autonomous systems; adversarial signal processing; belief estimation; abdominal aortic aneurysm; medical; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : A hidden Markov model (HMM) comprises a state with Markovian dynamics that is hidden in the sense that it can only be observed via a noisy sensor. This thesis considers three themes in relation to HMMs, namely, identification, inverse filtering and applications. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Modeling and Linear Quadratic Optimal Control of Wind Turbines

    Författare :Thommy Ekelund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; periodic system; structural dynamics; yaw control; variable speed; wind turbines; active stall; estimation; LQG; identification;

    Sammanfattning : Control can improve the performance of wind turbines by enhancing the energy capture and reducing dynamic, as well as static, loads. There are several possible configurations of the control system, depending on the available actuators. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On specification and inference in the econometrics of public procurement

    Författare :David Sundström; Kurt Brännäs; Sofia Lundberg; Michael Visser; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; auctions; dependent variable transformation model; green public procurement; indirect inference; instrumental variable; latent variable; log-generalized gamma distribution; maximum likelihood; measurement error; non-linear least squares; objective effectiveness; orthogonal polynomial regression; prediction; simulation estimation; structural estimation; nationalekonomi; Economics; Econometrics; ekonometri;

    Sammanfattning : In Paper [I] we use data on Swedish public procurement auctions for internal regularcleaning service contracts to provide novel empirical evidence regarding green publicprocurement (GPP) and its effect on the potential suppliers’ decision to submit a bid andtheir probability of being qualified for supplier selection. We find only a weak effect onsupplier behavior which suggests that GPP does not live up to its political expectations. LÄS MER
