Global Analysis of a Shipping Lane for a Floating Bridge
(Master thesis, 2015)The main objective of this thesis is to conduct a global analysis of a proposed shipping lane for a floating bridge that in future will operate in Halsafjorden. The model is simplified as only the shipping lane will be ... -
Global Analysis of Submerged Floating Tunnels Under Hydrodynamic Loading
(Master thesis, 2020)This master’s thesis includes several preliminary designs of Submerged Floating Tunnels (SFT) and its responses to hydrodynamic loading. SFT is a never built transport structure, which can be use for crossing lakes, straights ... -
Global Asymptotic Position and Heading Tracking for Multirotors Using Tuning Function-Based Adaptive Hybrid Feedback
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
Global Asymptotic Tracking for Marine Surface Vehicles using Hybrid Feedback in the Presence of Parametric Uncertainties
(Chapter, 2021)In this paper, we propose a hybrid adaptive feedback control law for global asymptotic tracking control for marine surface vehicles in the presence of parametric uncertainties. The hybrid feedback is derived from a family ... -
Global buckling of pipelines - A study on different soil models
(Master thesis, 2016)Pipelines are essential units as a energy transportation method nowadays. Buckling behaviors have been recognized as majority because it can cause sudden disconnection of pipelines and this may lead the pipeline to ... -
Global Buckling Reliability Analysis of Slender Network Arch Bridges: An Application of Monte Carlo-Based Estimation by Optimized Fitting
(Chapter, 2017)Network arch bridges are extremely slender bridge structures with a very efficient 16 load-carrying structure. This configuration can carry loads that are several times greater 17 than traditional tied-arch bridges with ... -
Global Carbon Benefits of Material Substitution in Passenger Cars until 2050 and the Impact on the Steel and Aluminum Industries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Light-weighting of passenger cars using high-strength steel or aluminum is a common emissions mitigation strategy. We provide a first estimate of the global impact of light-weighting by material substitution on GHG ... -
Global characterization factors for quantifying the impacts of increasing water temperature on freshwater fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Water temperature is an abiotic master variable for the survival of aquatic organisms. Global warming alters the thermal regimes of rivers and, thus, poses a threat to freshwater biodiversity. To address the impacts of ... -
Global Circular Economy Scenario in a Multiregional Input-Output Framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In a resource-constrained world of an estimated 10 billion people in 2050 with the same material aspirations of today’s high-income nations, there is no question: The future economy will need to be circular. From a policy ... -
Global climate impacts of forest bioenergy: what, when and how to measure?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Environmental impact studies of forest bioenergy systems usually account for CO2 emissions and removals and identify the so-called carbon debt of bioenergy through comparison with a reference system. This approach is based ... -
Global climate targets and future consumption level: an evaluation of the required GHG intensity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Discussion and analysis on international climate policy often focuses on the rather abstract level of total national and regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At some point, however, emission reductions need to be ... -
Global Collaborative Research Projects – Exploring scenario development
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:48, Doctoral thesis, 2020) -
A global daily evapotranspiration deficit index dataset for quantifying drought severity from 1979 to 2022
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Droughts cause multiple ecological and social damages. Drought indices are key tools to quantify drought severity, but they are mainly limited to timescales of monthly or longer. However, shorter-timescale (e.g., daily) ... -
Global distribution of potential impact hotspots for marine plastic debris entanglement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Marine animals have been known to interact with and become entangled in plastic debris for decades. Despite increasing annual input volumes of plastic waste to the natural environment and the threat this constitutes to ... -
Global existence and decay estimates of the Boltzmann equation with frictional force
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)In this paper, we give the existence theory and the optimal time convergence rates of the solutions to the Boltzmann equation with frictional force near a global Maxwellian. We generalize our previous results on the same ... -
Global extinction probabilities of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine species groups for use in Life Cycle Assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Human activities put pressure on the natural environmental and the Life Cycle Assessment methodology (LCA) is becoming a more prevalent tool to assess the relevant environmental impacts from products and processes on ... -
Global force and moment in rectangular tanks through a modal method for wave sloshing
(Journal article, 2017)Basing on a modal description of the sloshing phenomenon, formulas for the global force and moment acting on two-dimensional rectangular tanks are proposed. These are extensively validated through comparison with experimental ... -
Global guidance on environmental life cycle impact assessment indicators: impacts of climate change, fine particulate matter formation, water consumption and land use
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose Guidance is needed on best-suited indicators to quantify and monitor the man-made impacts on human health, biodiversity and resources. Therefore, the UNEP-SETAC Life Cycle Initiative initiated a global consensus ... -
Global Hydroelastic Response of Catamarans due to Wetdeck Slamming
(Dr.ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2002:125, Doctoral thesis, 2002)Global hydroelastic effects due to wetdeck slamming on a catamaran at Froude numbers between 0.30 and 0.33 in regular head waves are studied theoretically and experimentally. The wetdeck has a horizontal transverse ... -
