Coupling beams between shear walls are one of the key elements for energy dissipation in tall buildings. A representative mathematical model of coupling beam should represent flexure, shear and interface slip/extension mechanisms simultaneously. This goal can be achieved by using either detailed finite …

Finite element analysis on large structures in the mining industry is mainly set up with beamelements. During the modelling of the structures a couple of assumptions are made to ensure that the structure is not too complex. The connections between the beams are usually released in a couple of direction …

Barges are used in order to transport all types of offshore structures and equipment. Structures which are transported are becoming larger and heavier. Therefore, there is need for barges that can handle these structures. This research will explore the possibilities to increase barge capacity by adding …

When treating cancer by radiation therapy it is always the goal to irradiate the tumour as much as possible and to spare the healthy tissue around it. For this a new type of radiation therapy called Volumetric Modulated ARC Therapy (VMAT) has been developed. During VMAT treatment the radiation machine …

This project helps to reach the end goal of doing long distance measurements. Long distance measurements depends on the refractive index of air. The refractive index depends on temperature, pressure, humidity and gas mixture. The biggest uncertainty of calculating the refractive index is the temperature, …
