There is an ambition to install 30 GW offshore wind in Norwegian waters by 2040. This will require enormous upscale of wind turbine fabrication, assembly, and deployment. Floating and modular wind turbine storage and assembly quays are promising alternative to land based solutions. Model tests were...
In recent years, extensive research on dynamic precipitation has led to a growing interest in exploring how deformation affects microstructure and mechanical properties. In this study, the response of microstructure and performance to cold pre-strain and the early aging stage in the Al–Zn–Mg–Cu...
The current study investigated the effect of static recrystallisation (SRX) of parent austenite microstructure on the lath martensite intervariant boundary network. In general, the misorientation angle distribution of lath martensite exhibited a bimodal distribution in the range of 10–22 deg and...
Carbonation development and reinforcement corrosion were investigated on concretes exposed for a five-year period at 90% RH, 20 ℃, and 5% CO2, and for a six-year period at natural carbonation. Portland cement-based binders with 0%, 18%, and 30% fly ash were investigated. The fly ash blends showed...
European public agencies increasingly adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based chatbots. However, research on this topic is limited to an understanding of chatbots as interfaces between citizens and caseworkers. We performed a qualitative study of the design and deployment of the chatbot Selma by a...
A systematic scoping review was performed to map literature in the field of Design for Disassembly (DfD) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry and identify existing built DfD structures to compare the current DfD practice and research front. Online scientific databases and...
Energy system models provide us with scenarios for the future energy system, supporting our understanding of the impact of societal changes and adopted policies. To front-load the EU’Fit for 55’ package for 2030 and targets of replacing imported natural gas with renewable electricity, the Nordic...
The French National Metrology Institute (LNE) initiated a series of events to identify priorities for test methods and their harmonisation that directly address regulatory needs in Nanomedicine. One of these workshops entitled “The International Standardisation Roadmap for Nanomedicine” held in...
