1. Vibrations in Lightweight Buildings - Perception and Prediction
Sammanfattning : When the Swedish construction code (in 1994) allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, and also because wood is a plentiful resource in Sweden. Drawbacks in such buildings are disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the construction, especially through junctions. LÄS MER
2. Variations in sound insulation in lightweight timber constructions
Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis deals with the topic of variations and uncertainties in building acoustic parameters for lightweight timber constructions. A higher safety margin to the legal requirements is needed to compensate for acoustical uncertainties, which leads to higher costs. LÄS MER
3. Measurement and perception of sound insulation from 20 Hz between dwellings
Sammanfattning : Population growth and urbanization are projected by the United Nations to add 2,5 billionpeople to the world’s urban population by 2050. We need to construct buildings in anunprecedented scale to meet global housing demand. Sustainable development is critical. LÄS MER
4. Requirements for wood-based lightweight panels intended for furniture and interior use
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Throughout many parts of the world, forests exist in one form or another. And for the timber from these forests to be used, it must be processed by, for example, sawing into planks and dried. Studies have shown that profits for the forest owners increase from beneficial processing of these raw materials. LÄS MER
5. A Study on Sandwich Structures : Development, Mechanical Characterization and Numerical Modeling
Sammanfattning : Legislative demands force the automotive industry to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, crashworthiness must not be compromised. A ve-hicle’s GHG emissions, such as carbon dioxide, is dependent on its fuel consump-tion. Lowering the vehicle weight, reducing fuel consumption, will therefor reduce emissions. LÄS MER
