The possibility to print out metallic components with complex 3D-structures is could revolutionize the industry. In this master’s thesis the cause of process parameters have been investigated for three alloys; stainless steel, 316L, two nickel-based alloys, a derivative of Alloy 738 and 939. Microstructure, porosity, tensile testing, impact toughness, hardness and surface roughness was investigate

SYFTE: Vårt övergripande syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka varför kvinnor är underrepresenterade på partnernivån i revisionsbyråer samt om kön är en begränsningsfaktor. Vi utforskar delägar-, socialiserings- och utvärderingsprocessen och huruvida de bidrar till underrepresentationen.

This report evaluates the ways that the rescue service uses their water and how the get continuously water to the fire site. Other extinguishing metho

Thanks to amendments of the regulations governing safety of ships on international voyages, ship-builders are given the possibility to design large merchant ships in novel light-weight materials such as Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite. As a part of a collaborative risk assessment, this report investigates the implications of using this new material for the personal risks of firefighting c

The following report contains a study over what happens with the proposals for action that is presented in fire investigations. Literature, 105 fire investigations and interviews were used to gather information.

A safety feature for the evacuation of a rail tunnel is the construction of walkways running parallel to the tracks, constructed at the level of the train’s exits. There is currently a lack of research-based information pertaining to how the width of the walkway may affect evacuation. In September 2012 an evacuation experiment was performed, the aim of which was to explore how the width of the wal
