Failure sensitivity analysis of engineering structures

The present paper suggests a method to consider uncertainties in engineering structures in a computational scheme. Latin hypercube sampling is used to prepare input data of probabilistic parameters for subsequent deterministic simulations where the mechanical response is evaluated. The approach is applied on a pallet rack system where damaged columns and connector stiffnesses are considered as pro

Confounding Factors When Conducting Industrial Replications in Requirements Engineering

Despite the widely recognized importance of replications in software engineering, industrial replications in software engineering are still rarely reported. Although the literature provides some evidence about the issues and challenges related to conducting experiments and replications the practitioner's view of the issues and challenges has not been fully explored. This paper reports an industria

Fish and Ships in the Baltic Sea - Prices, Demand and Management

The essay discusses different aspects of the market for fish from the Baltic Sea. The first chapter introduces the subject and discusses why the market for fish is interesting and in particular why analyses of first-hand market prices can give insights into the effects of new regulations or natural variations changing the conditions for fisheries. Prices of different attributes of Baltic cod is

Are Capitalists Green? Firm Ownership and Provincial CO2-emissions in China

China has since the 1980s emerged as one of the world’s largest economies and the main emitter of carbon dioxide. Any attempt to combat global warming at the global level is therefore dependent on the future trajectory of Chinese emissions. In this paper we consider the effect of firm ownership on provincial emissions. The hypothesis is that private firms are economically more efficient than non-p

Atomistic studies of nano-structural mechanical behavior and point defects

The content of this thesis consists of two parts. For the first part, size and crystallographic orientational influence on the elastic properties of bcc nanowires and films have been studied through static molecular simulations. In order to explicitly account for surface effects, the concept of surface free energy has been employed. Comparisons between continuum mechanical calculations and results

Transient electromagnetic wave propagation in laterally discontinuous, dispersive media

This paper concerns propagation of transient electromagnetic waves in laterally discontinuous dispersive media. The approach, used here, employs a component decomposition of all fields. Specifically, the propagation operator that maps a transverse field on one plane to another plane is specified. Expansion of this mapping near the wave front determines the precursor or forerunner of the problem.
