This document provides the theory manual and user manual for two finite elements for the modeling of hydrogen-induced embrittlement of metallic materials. The cohesive zone element (CZE) allows to simulate the creation of new surfaces and the corresponding absorption of energy. The absorption of energy...
In the era of Big Data and AI, it is challenging to know all technical and business advantages of the emerging technologies. The goal of DataBench is to design a benchmarking process helping organizations developing Big Data Technologies (BDT) to reach for excellence and constantly improve their performance...
Increasing critical infrastructure (CI) resilience is a European strategy to enhance safety and security. A digital radio standard for the rail have been developed by The International Union of Railways (UIC) - The Global System for Mo-bile Communication in Railways (GSM-R). In Norway, GSM-R was implemented...
Acidizing and wormholing in carbonate reservoirs is studied through the analysis of the linear acidizing problem theoretically and experimentally. Experimentally, linear acidizing tests were performed in Mons chalk, a high porosity analogue of North Sea reservoir chalk. In the experiments the critical...
...threatens the well being of both humans and the environment. Wave power desalination is a method of producing freshwater that has been in the developing stages since 1970. One of the concepts is Ocean Oasis which was studied during the DNV GL summer project, and it is also the subject of this thesis....
Concern for crack initiation and growth under cyclic loading as well as unstable crack propagation and tearing in the ship and offshore structures. Due attention shall be paid to the suitability and uncertainty of physical models and testing. Consideration is to be given to practical application, statistical...
Planning, building and operation of hydropower must include considerations of technical, economic, environmental and social aspects in order to meet sustainability criteria. To address the environmental needs in a regulated river, we have developed the environmental design methodology. The method has...
...navigation and timing signal jamming and spoofing exercises carried out on the Norwegian island of Andøya in September of 2022. Organized via a collaboration between the Norwegian spectrum management authority, defense research establishment, public roads administration, metrology service, and others, the...
...dolomite or calcite, quartz, and in some cases, other additions. These materials have different melting properties, which have a strong effect on reduction and smelting reactions in the production of a silicomanganese alloy. This article discusses properties of Assman, Gabonese, and Companhia Vale do Rio Doce...
