1. 16. Finite Element and Neuroimaging Techniques toImprove Decision-Making in Clinical Neuroscience

   Författare :Xiaogai Li; Svein Kleiven; Hans von Holst; Bernhard A Schrefler; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traumatic brain injury; Intracranial Pressure; Brain edema; Gravitational force; Finite Element Model; Poroelastic parameter; Decompressive craniotomy; Image registration; Water content; Strain level; Diffusion Weighted Imaging;

   Sammanfattning : Our brain, perhaps the most sophisticated and mysterious part of the human body, to some extent, determines who we are. However, it’s a vulnerable organ. When subjected to an impact, such as a traffic accident or sport, it may lead to traumatic brain injury (TBI) which can have devastating effects for those who suffer the injury. LÄS MER

3. 17. Inertial motion capture for ambulatory analysis of human movement and balance

   Författare :Fredrik Olsson; Kjartan Halvorsen; Peter H. Veltink; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Inertial sensors; Human motion capture; Calibration; Neuromuscular control; Human balance; Tremor quantification;

   Sammanfattning : Inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) are ubiquitous in today’s society, where they can be found in many of our everyday mobile devices. These sensors are capable of recording the movement of the device, and by extension, the movement of humans carrying or interacting with the device. LÄS MER

4. 18. Human motion prediction using wearable sensors and machine Learning

   Författare :Binbin Su; Elena M. Gutierrez-Farewik; Christian Smith; Neil Cronin; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wearable sensors; gait segmentation; lower limb angular velocity; machine learning; deep learning; reinforcement learning; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Sammanfattning : Accurately measuring and predicting human movement is important in many contexts, such as in rehabilitation and the design of assistive devices. Thanks to the development and availability of a wide variety of sensors, scientists study human movement in many settings and capture characteristic properties unique to individuals as well as to larger study populations.

5. 19. Concrete pavements’ repair techniques and numerical assessment of dowel bar load transfer efficiency

   Författare :Saima Yaqoob; Johan Silfwerbrand; Larissa Strömberg; Anne Beeldens; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete pavements; Rapid repair; Precast slabs; Dowel bar; Load transfer efficiency; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

   Sammanfattning : Concrete pavements are a suitable alternative for high-traffic volume roads, concentrated loads and roads exposed to severe weather conditions. In Sweden, among other reasons, the scarcity of concrete pavements is attributed to the need for more national knowledge and expertise in the field. LÄS MER

7. 20. Vehicle-Pavement Interaction

   Författare :Parisa Khavassefat; Björn Birgisson; Denis Jelagin; David Cebon; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite element; Viscoelasticity; Moving load; Dynamic axle loads; Road roughness; Flexible pavement; Stochastic;

   Sammanfattning : Several aspects of vehicle-pavement interaction have been studied and discussed in this thesis. Initially the pavement response is studied through a quasi-static and a dynamic computationally efficient framework under moving traffic loads. LÄS MER
