Det är viktigt att ett sjukhus kan vara i drift även under situationer då det angrips av utvändiga explosioner. För att göra detta möjligt krävs det att de bärande delarna av byggnaden inte raserar eller skadas för kraftigt om de utsätts för attacker såsom en explosion på nära håll. I detta arbete har flera alternativa ytterväggar för en sjukhusbyggnad analyserats för explosionslaster med avsikt aIt was recently decided that a new hospital is to be built in Växjö. It is important that hospitals can be utilised no matter the circumstances, even in situations of threat. New reports have been published concerning how hospitals are to be designed.

Det här examensarbetet innefattar framtagningen av ett verktyg som hjälper produktutvecklare designa ergonomiska produkter. Många produkter som idag når tillverkning, eller till och med marknaden, är inte alltid så ergonomiska som det hade kunnat önskas. Emellertid kan dessa problem förebyggas i ett tidigt skede genom väl genomtänkt utformning på produkter och adekvata ergonomiska utvärderingar. DThis master thesis consists of the development of a tool which helps product developers design ergonomic products. Many products which end up being manufactured, or end up on the market, are not as well thought out as one could wish. However, this problem can be prevented at an early stage by well thought out designs and adequate evaluations. This was a topic discussed with Avalon Innovation Techn

Klimatförändringarna påverkar vår värld och det behövs ett mer hållbart samhälle. Flygindustrin är i behov av förändring, men flygmotorer är mycket komplexa och tar tid att utveckla. Termoakustiska instabiliteter har kraften att förstöra en motor, men också att minska miljöpåverkan. Samtidigt möjliggör ökad beräkningskraft i moderna datorkluster att detaljerade simuleringar kan utföras för att stuClimate change is affecting our world and a more sustainable society is needed. The aviation industry is in need of change but aero-engines are very complex and take time to develop. Thermoacoustic instabilities have the power to destroy an engine, but also to reduce the environmental impact. At the same time, increasing computational power allows detailed simulations to be executed in order to st
