Vibration control of a base-isolated building using wavelets
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2011)This paper proposes a numerical approach for finding an optimal control based on wavelet functions for vibration reduction of a base-isolated building subjected to actual earthquakes. The objective is two-fold: (1) to find ... -
Vibration control of base-isolated structures using mixed H-2/H-infinity output-feedback control
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)A mixed H-2/H-infinity output-feedback control design methodology for vibration reduction of base-isolated building structures modelled in the form of second-order linear systems is presented. Sufficient conditions for the ... -
Vibration-based structural health monitoring of a model truss bridge
(Master thesis, 2022)Vibration-based methods with accerleration sensors are playing an increasingly important role in structuctural health monitoring of modern bridges. This master thesis investigates how the change in the truss bridge’s dynamic ... -

Violation-mitigation-based method for PV hosting capacity quantification in low voltage grids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Hosting capacity knowledge is of great importance for distribution utilities to assess the amount of PV capacity possible to accommodate without troubling the operation of the grid. In this paper, a novel method to quantify ... -
Virtual Sensing of Load Forces in Hydraulic Actuators using Second- and Higher-Order Sliding Modes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)External load forces are challenging for sensing or estimating in the hydraulic actuators. Once it is due to inconvenient instrumentation of the force sensors, especially on an open-end mechanical interface. The other way, ... -
Viscoelastic characterization and comparison of Norwegian asphalt mixtures using dynamic modulus and IDT tests
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper presents the comparison of stiffnesses of two types of asphalt concrete mixes (Ab11 and Agb11) fabricated in the laboratory using two commonly used stiffness tests. (1) uniaxial compression dynamic modulus (E*) ... -
Visuell programmering ved design av fagverk i tre
(Master thesis, 2023)This master thesis deals with the use of visual programming and parametric design. The aim is to determine whether this can make the traditional process for structural design more efficient (for wooden structures). The ... -

Voltage Source Multilevel Inverters with Reduced Device Count: Topological Review and Novel Comparative Factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Multilevel inverters (MLIs) have gained increasing interest for advanced energy-conversion systems due to their features of high-quality produced waveforms, modularity, transformerless operation, voltage, and current ... -
Waste heat recovery from a marine waste incinerator using a thermoelectric generator
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)A marine waste incinerator has been evaluated for waste heat harvesting using thermoelectric generators (TEG). The application has been evaluated using mathematical modeling to optimize the heat exchanger and some vital ... -
Waste heat utilization for central heating and ventilation systems at Chassix Norway
(Master thesis, 2018)Chassix from south of Norway attempt to reduce their energy demand by sending waste heat to a Central Heating System, (CHS), named Case 1. The CHS heat the ventilation systems, space heat and water heating. The waste ... -
