When creating finite element simulations, fasteners are often simplified or disregarded even though they are exposed to large loads and are reasons to cause failure in the model. Aimpoint AB produces electronic red dot sights that are exposed to high accelerations of at least 400G. The aim of this degree project is divided into two parts: develop and evaluate a test methodology for measuring strai

Arbetstidsdirektivets (2003/88/EG) regler om dygnsvila och veckovila har visat sig vara komplexa för medlemsstater, som bland annat Sverige, att tolka korrekt. Detta mot bakgrund av att Sverige dömdes för fördragsbrott av EU-domstolen år 2005, på grund av avsaknaden av reglering om dygnsvila i svensk arbetstidslagstiftning.
