Towards a socio-technical perspective on resilient power systems: challenging techno-centrism in the Swedish electricity sector

Electric power systems face a multitude of threats and changes, including climate change impacts, energy transitions, security threats, and rapid technology diffusion at the household level. Resilience has emerged as a relevant concept to describe the power system's ability to ad...

Associations between work experiences, health, well-being, and intention to remain in the profession among healthcare and social work professionals – a multicentre cross-sectional study

Abstract Background The relationship between work experiences, health, well-being, and job satisfaction is important, especially in high-stress professions like healthcare and social work. While work stress effects are well studied, less is known about how work experiences in ear...

Hilbert's Basis Theorem for Poisson Ore Extensions

ABSTRACT We prove an analogue of Hilbert's basis theorem for Poisson Ore extensions and Poisson Laurent Ore extensions. We also obtain corresponding results for iterated Poisson Ore extensions and iterated Poisson Laurent Ore extensions associated to commuting Poisson‐pairs. Fina...

Effect of gaseous hydrogen on embrittlement of PBF-LB alloy 718: Influence of build orientation and microstructure on mechanical properties

This study reports the effects of build orientation and precipitates on the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of powder bed fusion – laser beam (PBF-LB) alloy 718 for aerospace applications. The material is subjected to hot isostatic pressing (HIP) then to a modified aerospac...

Investigation of slag formation and transport in high strength low alloy steel during wire arc additive manufacturing

Abstract High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel components are increasingly produced using Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) because of its ability to produce complex geometries and achieve high deposition rates. However, preventing the formation of surface oxides, known as si...

A comprehensive review of ferrite-based electrical motors for electric vehicle applications

This paper presents a comparative review of ferrite-based traction motors for electric vehicle (EV) applications. While numerous studies have examined ferrite-based motor designs in isolation, the literature still lacks a systematic comparative assessment across three levels: (i)...

Fretting Wear and Corrosion Behavior of the Fe‐35Mn Biodegradable Alloy for Biomedical Applications

ABSTRACT The biodegradable Fe‐35Mn alloy has emerged as a promising material for temporary implants due to its excellent mechanical, degradation, magnetic, and biocompatibility properties. Despite these advantages, its in vivo performance can be affected by factors such as fricti...
