1. Framework for holistic design of ferries focusing on lightweight ice going hulls
Sammanfattning : Waterborne public transportation (WPT) is slowly increasing in importance as an active component of public transportation networks in cities. City planners are looking at WPT to overcome urban congestion and pollution. LÄS MER
2. Risk-based ship security analysis – an approach based on civilian and military methods
Sammanfattning : The demands on maritime operations today are increasingly higher in terms of control, efficiency and cost. The margins for accidents and security incidents are therefore decreasing. In the area of ship safety the regulations, guidelines and methods have a history and culture of systematic research, development and implementation. LÄS MER
3. Technical cost modelling and efficient design of lightweight composites in structural applications
Sammanfattning : A lightweight transport design reduces fuel costs and emissions and can be achieved through the use of fibre-reinforced composite materials. Although lightweight, the composite raw material can be expensive and the sequential component production challenging and costly. LÄS MER
4. Computational weld mechanics : Towards simplified and cost effective FE simulations
Sammanfattning : It is the demand of the world’s ever increasing energy crisis to reduce fuel consumption wherever possible. One way of meeting this demand is by reducing the weight of a structure by replacing thick plates of low strength steel with thin plates of high strength steel in the structure. LÄS MER
5. On the impact of noise and energy demand from traffic : An assessment using microscopic modelling
Sammanfattning : Noise emissions from transportation remain one of the greatest environmental issues of modern day. Inhabitants in urban environments are especially exposed, with almost 80 million people in the European Union exposed to noise levels exceeding the recommended limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO).
