The overall aim of this project has been to derive quantitative thermodynamic and kinetic algorithms and use them to develop personal computer based programs that can predict microstructural development as a series of contours around welds. The work has covered both single- and multi-pass...

Simulation models play a central role in ecosystem research and management. They integrate understanding, and enable us to predict future behaviour and to explore alternative policy scenarios. However, there are major problems with current practice, including the cost of developing models, rapid...

The final industrial goal of this project is to develop a technology for high productivity casting of small round section bars (85 mm diameter) with ultrafine solidification structure that means equiaxed structure with very low segregation. The final target is to reach productivity per strand of...

This publication comes from two sources. The first is the ETF project 'Standards 2000', which was developed in response to requests from partner countries from the NIS and Mongolia for support in establishing a procedure and methodology for the development of vocational education and training...

The region or local area is too often felt to be the focus of every kind of conservatism, folklore and vote-catching. At this Agora, we questioned this image of the region and re-examined and redefined what was actually meant by region. The region, in our notion of the learning region, has a...

An exact and fast estimation of special material characterisation data and the implementation and usage of these data for finite element simulations are essential for the control of forming processes of special parts from thin sheet metals. This report describes a method to determine the...

A study to perform an uncertainty analysis of the European accident consequence assessment system, Cosyma, has been carried out under contract to the European Commission. The study involved a series of analysis of the uncertainty in different sections of the system, followed by a final analysis...
