Problemställningen för detta examensarbete är att utvärdera en föreslagen beräkningsmodell för korslimmat trä (KL-trä) vid balkbelastning. I detta ingår att undersöka de antaganden som ligger till grund för beräkningsmodellen och att undersöka huruvida lamelltjockleken har en inverkan på styvheten i kontaktytan mellan lamellerna. Beräkningsmodellen är presenterad i Marcus Flaigs doktorsavhandling

Since Gustav III’s coup in 1772, the king strove to enhance the royal prerogative. Ceremonies were crucial in the monarchy’s language of power and establishment of legitimacy but oppositional forces within the nobility nevertheless provoked the regicide of Gustav III in 179

Människans kropp består av miljontals celler och alla dessa celler har ett cellmembran som skyddar cellens interiör från dess omgivning. Cellmembranet sköter även transporten utifrån och in till cellen. För att få en förståelse över cellmembranets funktion så används olika konstgjorda lipid bilager som modeller. I dag kan man enkelt skapa konstgjorda bilager modeller som består av 2-3 fosfolipiderSupported lipid bilayers are a popular in situ artificial bilayer model where a lipid solution is deposited on a surface. Usually the supported lipid bilayers consist of only 2-3 lipids and the problem with that is that they do not represent the biological membrane very well. In this project Pichia pastoris lipids were used to form supported lipid bilayers at different pH, temperature and differen
