  1. 21. Energy Efficiency Versus Gains in Consumer Amenities

    Författare :Frances Sprei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy efficiency; residential buildings; service features; Sweden; passenger cars; fuel consumption; downsizing; technological development;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis, consisting of five papers, addresses the question of what share of technological development results in increased energy efficiency rather than offsetting improved consumer services in the form of gains in consumer amenities? In the first paper economic and organizational explanations are given for stagnating energy efficiency trends in the Swedish residential building sector. The results show that changes in energy prices to a large extent explain the observed stagnation. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Transport systems meeting long-term climate targets : A backcasting approach

    Författare :Jonas Åkerman; Mattias Höjer; Glenn Lyons; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Other social sciences; Övrig samhällsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Future transport systems consistent with long-term climate targets are examined in this thesis, using a systems perspective covering the entire transport system. Aviation is given particular attention, as expansion of this mode is difficult to reconcile with climate targets. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Wear in sheet metal forming

    Författare :Anders Gåård; Pavel Krakhmalev; Jens Bergström; Åsa Kassman; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Friction; Sheet metal forming; Galling; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materialteknik; Materials Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The general trend in the car body manufacturing industry is towards low-series production and reduction of press lubricants and car weight. The limited use of press lubricants, in combination with the introduction of high and ultra-high strength sheet materials, continuously increases the demands of the forming tools. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Environmental, Resource and Health Assessments of Hard Materials and Material Substitution: The Cases of Cemented Carbide and Polycrystalline Diamond

    Författare :Anna Furberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Life cycle assessment; polycrystalline diamond; disability-adjusted life years; material flow analysis; machining tools; cemented carbide;

    Sammanfattning : The conventional hard material used in manufacturing industry, cemented carbide (WC-Co), mainly consists of the geochemically scarce elements tungsten and cobalt. This use of scarce resources could potentially be avoided by a material substitution to the more abundant and largely carbon-based material polycrystalline diamond (PCD). LÄS MER

  7. 25. External costs of transports imposed on neighbours and fellow road users

    Författare :Lena Winslott Hiselius; Trafik och väg; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic systems; economic theory; econometrics; Economics; Samhällsvetenskaper; Social sciences; Hazardous materials; Hourly traffic flow; Choice experiments; Accident prediction models; External costs; economic policy; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introductory chapter and four research papers, summarized as follows. The overall purpose is to study various external effects of the transport system; effects that are not considered (or not fully considered) today. LÄS MER
