3. 12. Time dependent pressure phenomena in hydropower applications

   Författare :Magnus Lövgren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

   Sammanfattning : Time resolved pressure measurements in hydropower applications are of great interest. Different parts of the machine experience highly transient flows that influence the function and efficiency of the turbine. This thesis addresses different time dependent pressure phenomena. LÄS MER

4. 13. Topology optimization of non-linear, dissipative structures and materials

   Författare :Niklas Ivarsson; Hållfasthetslära; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Topology optimization; Stiffness optimization; Finite strain; Rate-dependent plasticity; Discrete adjoint sensitivity analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Topology optimization is a mathematical tool for finding optimal distributions of material phases within a design domain. It is commonly used in early design stages to generate conceptual structural layouts. Ultimately, designs generated by topology optimization consist of distinct material phases with enhanced performance. LÄS MER

5. 14. Pollinators, Enemies, Drought, and the Evolution of Reproductive Traits in Primula farinosa

   Författare :Per Toräng; Jon Ågren; Johan Ehrlén; Rebecca Irwin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Alternative reproductive strategies; climate change; facilitation; floral display; flowering phenology; frequency-dependent selection; genetic diversity; life-history strategies; local adaptation; pollination; predation; Primula farinosa; reproductive effort; soil disturbance; stochastic growth rate; Ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I combined comparative and experimental approaches to examine selection on reproductive traits and population differentiation in the insect-pollinated, self-incompatible, perennial herb Primula farinosa. More specifically, I (1) determined whether the effects of floral display and interactions with pollinators and seed predators, and plant reproductive success were frequency-dependent and affected by surrounding vegetation context, (2) examined the consequences of intermittent drought years on population dynamics using numerical simulations based on demographic data collected over seven years, (3) analyzed among-population differentiation in flowering phenology and reproductive allocation, and its relationship to soil-depth at the site of origin.

7. 15. On cyclic accumulation models for degradation of railway foundations

   Författare :Hossein Tahershamsi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Natural soft clay; Global Sensitivity Analysis; Sobol method; Experimental design; Rate-dependent models; Cyclic accumulation models; Cyclic degradation; Uncertainty analysis;

   Sammanfattning : The degradation of railway foundations due to the repeated loading of traffic induces maintenance and safety obligations for the track operator. One major contributor to track degradation is the accelerated settlement rates in soft soils below the track that lead to alignment issues, especially at stiffness transitions. LÄS MER
