1. 1. Dynamics and Extreme Value Problems for Moored Floating Platforms

   Författare :Yungang Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; quasi-static; frequency-domain; extreme value; convolution; floating platform; low-frequency; time-domain; mooring cable; wave-frequency;

   Sammanfattning : This research deals with the dynamic response analyses and extreme value problems of moored floating platforms. It can be divided into three major subjects: first, the analysis of single cables and cable induced mooring damping; second, the dynamic analysis of the moored platforms, with special emphasis on the damping mechanisms and generation of the low-frequency excitation force time series; and third, the extreme wave-frequency responses and the combination of the low-frequency and wave-frequency extreme responses.

3. 2. Moment Estimation Using Extreme Value Methods

   Författare :Joachim Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pareto distribution; mean estimation; heavy tailed distributions; telecommunication; m -dependence; superpopulation sampling; peaks over threshold; telecommunication;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis is composed of three papers, all dealing with the application of extreme value methods to the problem of moment estimation for heavy-tailed distributions. In Paper A, an asymptotically normally distributed estimate for the expected value of a positive random variable with infinite variance is introduced. LÄS MER

4. 3. Some Contributions to Description and Validation of the Extreme Value Distribution

   Författare :MirNabi PirouziFard; Statistiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; weighted least squares estimator.; probability plot; power of tests; extreme value distribution; variances and covariances; goodness-of-fit tests; order statistics; Approximations of means;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the validation and description of the Gumbel distribution. Since this is a scale and location parameter distribution, the generalized least squares regression of the order statistics on the expected values can be used, without the necessity of iteration, to obtain the best linear unbiased estimates of the parameters.

5. 4. District Heating Substations. Performance, Operation and Design

   Författare :Janusz Wollerstrand; Energihushållning; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extreme value; heater; sizing; domestic hot water; drag reducing additives; microbial fouling; heat exchanger fouling; simulation; design; performance; District heating; substation; Energy research; Energiforskning;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis work is concerned with the efficient layout and operation of substations, i.e. those district heating (DH) system units which connect the network and internal building heating systems, such as radiator heating systems and domestic hot water distribution networks.

7. 5. Fatigue limit, inclusion and finite lives - a statistical point of view

   Författare :Sara Lorén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; censoring; likelihood; profile predictive likelihood; staircase test; extreme value; likelihood;

   Sammanfattning : An important design property of steel is the fatigue limit, i.e. the load level where a specimen has infinite life. For the material it can also be defined an endurance limit, which is the stress level at which the specimen has a certain life. LÄS MER
