1. 1. Designing metallic glasses : Alloying, properties, and degrees of freedom

   Författare :Maciej Kaplan; Björgvin Hjörvarsson; Gunnar Pálsson; Jochen Schneider; Susanne Norgren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; amorphous alloys; enthalpy of mixing; glass formation; thermal stability; thermodynamics; mechanical properties; corrosion resistance; hydrogen;

   Sammanfattning : The present design rules for metallic glasses with respect to glass formation, thermal stability (resistance to crystallisation), and material properties can still be improved. A main design rule is to use thermodynamic calculations to determine the composition of eutectic points in the phase space. LÄS MER

3. 2. Hydro-mechanical optimization of a wave energy converter

   Författare :Chisom Miriam Ekweoba; Andrej Savin; Halvar Gravråkmo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Ballast optimization; analytical model; pitching wave energy converter; power absorption performance; wave energy converter; geometry optimization; genetic algorithm; floating platform; extended degrees of freedom; beam model; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

   Sammanfattning : Wave energy conversion technology has gained popularity due to its potential to be-come one of the most preferred energy sources. Its high energy density and low car-bon footprint have inspired the development of many wave energy converter (WEC) technologies, few of which have made their way to commercialisation, and many are progressing.

4. 3. Applications of the Virtual Holonomic Constraints Approach : Analysis of Human Motor Patterns and Passive Walking Gaits

   Författare :Uwe Mettin; Anton Shiriaev; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Motion Planning; Humanoid Robots; Virtual Holonomic Constraints; Underactuated Mechanical Systems; Mechanical Springs; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Sammanfattning : In the field of robotics there is a great interest in developing strategies and algorithms to reproduce human-like behavior. One can think of human-like machines that may replace humans in hazardous working areas, perform enduring assembly tasks, serve the elderly and handicapped, etc. LÄS MER

5. 4. Structural, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Aspects of the Crystal Polymorphism of Substituted Monocyclic Aromatic Compounds

   Författare :Michael Svärd; Åke Rasmuson; Hugo Meekes; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymorphism; crystallization; thermodynamics; kinetics; nucleation; crystallography; solubility; phase equilibria; polymorphic transformation; solution history; metastable zone; classical theory of nucleation; two-step theory of nucleation; cluster; crystal structure prediction; lattice energy; molecular mechanics; force field; electrostatic potential; potential energy hypersurface; m-aminobenzoic acid; m-hydroxybenzoic acid; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Sammanfattning : This work concerns the interrelationship between thermodynamic, kinetic and structural aspects of crystal polymorphism. It is both experimental and theoretical, and limited with respect to compounds to substituted monocyclic aromatics. LÄS MER

7. 5. Monte Carlo Simulations of the Equilibrium Properties of Semi-stiff Polymer Chains : Efficient Sampling from Compact to Extended Structures

   Författare :Alexey Siretskiy; Christer Elvingson; Alexander Lyubartsev; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymers; equilibrium properties; statistical mechanics; computer simulation; Monte Carlo; Wang-Landau; compact structures; parallel computations; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : Polymers is a class of molecules which can have many different structures due to a large number of degrees of freedom. Many biopolymers, e.g. DNA, but also synthetic macromolecules have special structural features due to their backbone stiffness. LÄS MER
