  3. 22. On Structural Design of High-Speed Craft

    Författare :Mikael Razola; Jakob Kuttenkeuler; Anders Rosén; Olav Fredrik Rognebakke; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; slamming; high-speed craft; finite-element analysis; design methods; experimental analysis; numerical simulations; design loads; statistical analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The development in structural design and construction of high-speed craft has been extensive during the last decades. Environmental and economical issues have increased the need to develop more optimized structures, using new material concepts, to reduce weight and increase performance efficiency. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Gait speed and physical exercise in people with dementia

    Författare :Annika Toots; Erik Rosendahl; Håkan Littbrand; Yngve Gustafson; Stephen Lord; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Exercise; dementia; residential facilities; postural balance; activities of daily living; cognitive function; mobility limitation; Alzheimer s disease; rehabilitation; frail elderly; gait speed; mortality; aged 80 and older;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to investigate the importance of physical function for survival in very old people, and furthermore, whether physical exercise could influence physical function, cognitive function, and dependence in activities of daily living (ADLs) in older people with dementia living in nursing homes.The world’s population is ageing.

    Författare :Sarah Tell; Raid Karoumi; Ülker-Kaustell Mahir; Andreas Andersson; Bill F. Jr. Spencer; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamics; vibration mitigation; railway bridge; high-speed trains; bridge deck acceleration; passive damping; fluid viscous dampers; retrofit; dynamik; vibrationsdämpning; järnvägsbro; höghastighetståg; brobaneacceleration; passiv dämpning; viskösa dämpare; eftermontering; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : At the moment of writing, an expansion of the Swedish railway network has started, by constructions of new lines for high-speed trains. The aim is to create a high-speed connection between the most populous cities in Sweden - Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö, and the rest of Europe. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Characterization of train-induced aerodynamic loads on high-speed railway vertical noise barriers

    Författare :Dongyun Liu; Gabriel Sas; Chao Wang; Jaime Gonzalez; Lennart Elfgren; Yongming Tu; Paolo Zampieri; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aerodynamic pressure; Computational fluid dynamics; Train geometry; High-speed railway; High-speed train; Load calculation model; Vertical noise barrier; Byggkonstruktion; Structural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : High-Speed Railway (HSR) technology requires the deployment of noise barriers to mitigate noise pollution affecting nearby residents. As train speeds increase, so does the magnitude of aerodynamic effects such as aerodynamic noise and the pressure on these barriers, meaning that these structures require robust sound insulation and structural load-bearing capacities.
