1. Modelling the acoustic performance of slab tracks
Sammanfattning : Transport is a major contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Railway transport has a small footprint compared to other means of transport. This is one reason for the construction of new high-speed railway lines world-wide. LÄS MER
2. On multilayered system dynamics and waves in anisotropic poroelastic media
Sammanfattning : The mechanical and acoustic anisotropy of media is a governing factor in the behaviour of multilayered systems including such media. The understanding of the mechanisms conditioning the dynamic behaviour of multilayered systems is of paramount importance. LÄS MER
3. Efficient time-domain modelling suitable for optimising thermoacoustic devices
Sammanfattning : Thermoacoustic heat pumps use acoustic work to transfer heat from cold to hot temperatures. Such devices benefit from being environmentally friendly, robust and simple. However, in practice these devices have too low efficiency and power compared to their conventional counterparts. LÄS MER
4. Structural Design of Laser-Welded Sandwich Panels for Marine Applications
Sammanfattning : In shipbuilding the replacement of stiffened platestructures by laser-welded sandwich panels offers considerableadvantages for production as well as vessel operation. In viewof reduced weight and space requirements an area of particularinterest is the incorporation of an adhesively bonded core bywhich the stiffness and strength can be substantiallyincreased, and thermal-acoustic insulation can be integrated.

5. Ultrasonic NDT in Defect Detection - Mathematical modelling
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the mathematical modelling of the ultrasonic nondestructive testing situation. The first part of the thesis treats a simplified model of an ultrasonic transducer and its implementation into a T-matrix method-based solution to a crack scattering problem. LÄS MER
