Where strangers become neighbours : design for diversity - a case study utilising a physical and social framework of a reception centre for asylum seekers
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IØRP/2009, Master thesis, 2009)This project is going to look at how the built environment, in this case a public space, can improve the well-being for people in a reception centre for asylum seekers and refugees. The project is going to talk about the ... -
Whirling dynamics of a drill-string with fluid–structure interaction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Fluid–structure interaction models for drill-string vibrations are often of reduced order. However, both the structure and the surrounding fluid are non-linear, which can lead to complex coupled dynamic. In this paper, a ... -
