Inom bilindustrin utvecklas kontinuerligt nya sätt att förbättra kvalitén, säkerheten och komforten i de bilarna man producerar, speciellt inom den avancerade kategori bilar som Volvo Car Corporation (VCC) framställer. Detta har lett till att man i allt större grad använder sig av lim, eller fästmedel, av så kallade polymerer som visat sig vara mycket användbara för att dämpa ljud och vibrationer.The occurrence of deformations on the surface of adhesively-bonded automotive body panels in proximity to the application of the polymer adhesive is called bond-line read-through (BLRT) and occurs due to process-induced differential thermal strains between the adhesive layer and metal substrate. This type of deformation is a major problem in the automotive industry and one Volvo Car Corporation, w

The principle of prohibition of abuse of EU law has developed throughout a variety of areas of EU law, but has for the last few years most specifically evolved into an overriding principle through the field of EU VAT. The questions that have arisen along the lines of the Court’s interpretation mainly assess the relation with legal certainty and the division of powers. When looking at the cases of

This is a study within the field of philosophy of education that seeks to develop an alternative understanding of inclusion within education in light of current changes in society. It discusses a shift within educational research from the field of diversity education towards the field of democratic education, and argues that an idea of separation between subjects implies a tension in the theory ca

Abstract In order to reduce climate emissions from transports and to move towards a more sustainable transport system, many municipalities and regions strive to increase the use of bicycle in cities. This study focuses on the three metropolitan areas in Sweden; Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö. Their efforts with regional bicycle planning are investigated, looking at factors such as cooperation, resp

The main goal of the project was to decrease the cooling time of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) by modifying an existing design. Modifications included change of materials, overall dimensions and a significant reduction of mass together with additional suggestions for decreased cool time. The initial design was known to function with current materials and dimensions. The first step of the thesis was

The Mesopotamian Marshlands form one of the first landscapes where people started to transform and manipulate the natural environment in order to sustain human habitation. For thousands of years people transformed natural ecosystems into agricultural fields, residential clusters and other agglomerated environments to sustain long term settlement. Moreover, the Mesopotamian Marshlands, located in o

International labour migration is claimed to be the dominant type of international movement of people in the modern world which is characterized by the process of globalization. Tajikistan is one of the countries for which external labour emigration is of crucial importance. Hence, this qualitative study focuses on identifying how labour migration from this country is shaped. It highlights the fac

Due to its history, Germany holds a vast number of industrial sites that have long been abandoned and thus, have fallen into oblivion. Albeit their indisputable qualities, they also bear obstacles which entails that greenfield development projects are still dominating Germany’s urban planning processes and the construction industries, thus causing a severe land consumption each day. This project d

Increased popularity of additive manufacturing has pushed the method into new areas where it has not been used before, such as construction. Buildings are being 3D printed by various companies around the world, but the application of additive manufacturing in construction is still in its early stages. In order to conduct research in this field, the Department of Design Sciences at Lund University

In this paper we discuss the problem of finding a suitable filter used as prefilter at digital Kalman filtering. The process is described by a stochastic state model. Two different filters are analyzed: a low-pass filter and a mean value filter. Especially we examine optimal choices of the parameters of the filters i.e. optimal integration area in the mean value filter and optimal time constant in

Lund University strives to create appropriate, flexible and efficient solutions in its administrative work. One way of doing so could be the use of electronic signatures (e-signatures). The use of electronic signatures should be guided by whether it makes things more straightforward and is fit for purpose. The use of e-signatures at Lund University reduces paper printing and streamlines the signin

In this contribution we study the balloon angioplasty in a residually stressed artery by means of a non-local gradient-enhanced fibre damage model. The balloon angioplasty is a common surgical intervention used to extend or reopen narrowed blood vessels in order to restore the continuous blood flow in, for instance, atherosclerotic arteries. Inelastic, i.e. predominantly damage-related and elastop

Six-membered cyclic carbonates are potential monomers for phosgene and/or isocyanate free polycarbonates and polyurethanes via ring-opening polymerization. A two-step process for their synthesis comprising lipase-catalyzed transesterificationofa polyol, trimethylolpropane(TMP) with dimethylcarbonate(DMC)in a solvent-free system followed by thermal cyclization was optimized to improve process effic

The role of environmental permits as a driver for environmental improvements has been a topic of debate for a while. Many permitting regulations were designed in the 1970's and have not been updated since then. Consequently, they have acted mostly as a driver for the adoption of pollution control technologies. Some experts now see that appropriately designed and implemented environmental permi

Coniferous as spruce (more specifically Norway spruce, Picea abies) and deciduous species like European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and oak (Quercus spp.) co exist in south Sweden. In perspective of climate change, species composition of Swedish forests is assumed to change. Observed climate on the period 1950-2010 prove that a general warming trend is occurring in southern Sweden, and that vegetation

The purpose of this Master Thesis was to design an automatic separator, a machine that would separate organic from non-organic waste through a mechanical process. The use of a mechanical process was one of the target specifications given by WTM AB, the company that initiated the project. WTM is a small machine design company located in Ängelholm, Sweden, who designs machines for different kind of

Tourism is one of the world’s biggest industries; it accounts for 11% of the global GDP, and is responsible for between 5 to 14% of the world’s global warming caused by human activities. Due to the large economic, social and environmental impacts that this activity has, attempts have been made to make it more sustainable. Nevertheless, the focus has traditionally been on the supply side. Tourism’
