Error Sources in Wave-Based Remote Sensing and Free-Surface Synthetic Schlieren
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:244, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Physical processes at and under the water surface of oceans play a key role in the Earth’s climate. For the models that are used to make predictions of temperature, gas contents, humidity, etc., we rely on data from ... -
Confronting the Challenges of Integrated Multi-infrastructure Asset Management
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:232, Doctoral thesis, 2024)The well-being and economic prosperity of urban areas are tied to the effectiveness and reliability of their infrastructure systems. These systems are interdependent, influencing each other across various dimensions. ... -
Leakage prediction and post-grouting assessment in headrace tunnel of a hydropower project
(Chapter, 2024)In the Himalayan region, tunnels are often constructed through complex and varying geological formations having rock mass with higher degree of jointing, faulting, folding, and weakness/shear zones. Such rock mass condition ... -
Planning and support estimation of underground powerhouse in the Himalayas
(Chapter, 2024)Underground structures like tunnels and caverns have major advantages in hydropower projects. Tunnels are used for transporting the water from the intake to the tailrace outlet through the turbines whereas caverns primarily ... -
Investigation and analysis of a CO2 heat pump chiller with novel two-stage evaporator
(Chapter, 2023)This study was carried out to investigate the performance of a transcritical CO2 heat pump chiller that provides heating and cooling simultaneously. There are several applications where such CO2 systems are implemented, ... -
Snowpack Modeling Forced by Numerical Weather Predictions and Manually Observed Snow Profiles
(Master thesis, 2023)Snøskred er en utbredt naturfare i bratt terreng og utgjør en alvorlig trussel for både mennesker og infrastruktur. Formålet med snøskredvarsling er å forhindre ulykker i forbindelse med snøskred, og blir i økende grad ... -
On the mechanisms of charge weld evolution in aluminum extrusion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This study aims to provide new insights into the governing mechanisms of material property evolution within the charge weld zone in the hot extrusion process of aluminum profiles. A set of 6xxx series aluminum alloy tubular ... -
Transforming conventional hydropower plants into pumped storage by turbine replacement
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:207, Doctoral thesis, 2024)While the global community has started to realize the impact of the climate changes, the global temperatures are rising, extreme weather occurs more frequently and certain species are struggling to adapt. To slow down the ... -
On the durability and lifetime prediction of filament wound composites
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:222, Doctoral thesis, 2024)This thesis investigates the durability and aging behavior of glass fiber/vinylester filament wound composites (FWCs) coupons obtained from real-life structures under various environmental conditions. Divided into four ... -
Lessons learned from the trial operation of an autonomous urban passenger ferry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Cities worldwide consider autonomous passenger ferries a sustainable way of transporting passengers across and along waterways. Since 2016, a university-led effort to develop autonomous urban passenger ferry prototypes has ... -
The Storfosna Sandstone on Kråkvåg
(Master thesis, 2024)Devonske Storfosnaformasjonen på Kråkvåg har blitt undersøkt med mål om å fastslå dens avsetningsmiljø. I tillegg har bergartsgrensen mellom Kråkøya granittkonglomerat og Storfosnaformasjonen blitt studert, for å forstå ... -
Comparative analysis of rolling contact fatigue life in a wind turbine pitch bearing with different modeling approaches
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The load calculation for wind turbines usually does not take pitch bearings into account, and the pitch-bearing internal load distribution is calculated in a decoupled process. In the current study, a coupled wind turbine ... -
Prediction of longitudinal seam weld quality in multi-chamber aluminium extrusion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In the extrusion of complex multi-chamber profiles, the longitudinal seam (L-seam) weld quality is significantly affected by the thermo-mechanical history and the ‘local’ formation conditions under which the weld is produced ... -
