▼ <p class="MsoNormal">The Haringvliet sluices is one of the Delta Works. The sluices were finished in 1970 and are thus 50 years old. This research is initiated because the expected lifetime of hydraulic structures is thought to decrease significantly due to climate change. This study aims to provide insight in the functions the Haringvliet sluices fulfill and to what extent climate change influences the functioning of the Haringvliet sluices. If the lifetime of the current structure is reached multiple other strategies are suggested. The lifetime of the sluices is determined, based on the effect of climate change on the functions the sluices fulfils. The climate scenarios used for the assessment of the sluices are the KNMI’14 climate scenarios (Gl and Wh). These are the most mild and most extreme scenarios. The amount of sea level rise and the change in annual river discharge distribution of these scenarios are used for the assessment of the sluices. For the assessment of the Haringvliet sluices, multiple tools are used. Calculations are made with the programs SOBEK and Hydra-BS, available literature is used, information received from interviews with experts and hand calculations have been used as tools to assess the Haringvliet sluices. Flood protection, fresh water availability and ecology are the functions for which the sluices have been assessed. Another failure mechanism for which the sluices have been assessed is structural failure. The lifetime for which the sluices fail constructively are conducted by a semi-structured interview. Not opening, not closing, overtopping and overflow are the failure mechanisms included in the assessment for flood protection. The effect of the failure mechanisms in combination with climate change may not lead to hydraulic loads which exceed the retaining height with 0.2 meter of at least two dike sections at the hinterland. With the Kierbesluit, the Haringvliet sluices are opened during high-tide. The requirement concerning fresh water availability is that the chloride concentration at Middelharnis-Spui may not exceed 300 mg/litre. The requirement for ecology is based on fish migration in combination with the Kierbesluit. Multiple fish species must be able to migrate from the North-Sea to the Haringvliet for at least 50% of the time as indicated for each specie in the migration calender. The sluices may also not be closed for 50 consecutive days. This reduces migration via the Haringvliet. The lifetime for which the function of flood protection is reached, is based on literature, spreadsheet calculations and the use of the models SOBEK-RE and Hydra-BS. With SOBEK-RE water level calculations are carried out in which the failure mechanisms of not opening and not closing are added. The results have been stored in a database which is used as input for Hydra-BS. Hydra-BS probabilistically calculates water levels through the south western delta. The effect of the failure mechanism of overtopping is calculated by calculating overtopping volumes with formulas found in prior research… Advisors/Committee Members: Kok, Matthijs (mentor), Voorendt, Mark (graduation committee), Winsemius, Hessel (graduation committee), Botterhuis, Ton (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Quality electrical characterisation of photovoltaic silicon bricks after crystallization is of high importance as it can not only increase the productivity of the directional solidification but also permits selective cutting and specialised processing. In an industrial environment, the characterisation method can be considered ideal if it allows the non-destructive measurement (i) with high spatial resolution, (ii) at inline speed, (iii) with high bulk lifetime sensitivity, and (iv) with reliable accuracy.For this purpose, this thesis explores the use of spectrally dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements in both imaging and full spectrum applications. The bulk lifetime signature of the PL spectrum can be accessed most simply by measuring a ratio of two differently filtered PL images and then translated to bulk lifetimes using a transfer function modelled in this thesis. The experimental apparatus is based on the equipment commonly used for PL measurements of wafers only adapted for a longer excitation wavelength. However, for quantitative brick measurements, the spectral dependence of the apparatus is needed to be characterised precisely.This thesis presents PL intensity ratio detected bulk lifetime images and discusses their accuracy. The technique is compared to existing brick measurement techniques with particular focus on the limitations. Light spreading in the silicon CCD was identified as a major cause of image blur and its strong effect on the quantitative analysis was effectively reduced by a proposed deconvolution procedure, whereby the light spreading is measured, mathematically described with a point spread function and then employed in an inverse Fourier transform. In addition, the image contrast in the vicinity of a grain boundary was electrically modelled in two dimensions and its effect on the PL intensity ratio analysis quantified.Additionally, this thesis experimentally verifies the analytical description of the PL emission of silicon bricks and employs various regression approaches to determine bulk lifetimes in an automated way using full spectral information.Overall, it is shown that quantitative bulk lifetimes can be determined via spectral photoluminescence analysis with a resolution of 160 µm and captured within seconds. At this point, good accuracy has been achieved and is only limited by the design and calibration of the experimental setup.

▼ The photoconductive decay (PCD) technique is a commonly used to study bulk characteristics of semiconductor materials. This is work takes forward the idea of using solid state laser technology for studying the near-surface region of a semiconductor or the interface region of a semiconductor - dielectric interface. The choice of laser (wavelength) is material dependent and the tool, built around a probe station, has the ability to measure pre-patterned small geometry samples. A detailed description of the experimental procedure is provided. The tool has the ability to form reliable ohmic contact with dielectric of thickness less than 50nm without the need for any additional etching steps. The tool is then used to monitor silicon surface change after an HF clean following which it is left to stand in the ambient over time. The results are compared with a surface sensitive contact angle tool. The near-surface PCD (ns-PCD) technique is compared to conventional microwave PCD commonly used to measure bulk lifetime of a semiconductor. The near-surface tool shows a shorter lifetime value for the back surface than the polished front surface of the sample, while microwave PCD gives the same lifetime value for both surfaces. Thus the surface sensitivity of the tool is established. Next thin dielectrics grown on semiconductors are explored using the ns-PCD technique. The time limitation for the diffusion/oxidation furnace to form high quality silicon oxide on silicon is determined to be 8 minutes. This is shown by observing the PCD lifetime that reflects the interface quality of the oxide - silicon. Two different dielectrics in alumina and tantalum oxide are grown on silicon and the PCD plots are compared. The importance of laser choice is demonstrated by taking measurements using 658nm and 980nm lasers. The former shows a more defective interface in the case of tantalum oxide. A different semiconductor material in gallium antimonide is considered in another experiment. One sample is degreased using acetone and IPA clean while the other sample is cleaned using HCl. Alumina is grown on both samples using atomic layer deposition. ns-PCD shows that HCl degrades the surface of GaSb. However forming gas anneal shows an improvement in near surface lifetime implying that HCl clean is needed to remove the uncontrolled GaO and SbO formed under ambient. Lastly it is shown that ns-PCD can be used to explore three dimensional fin structures. An ungated InGaAs quantum well fin structure is grown for this purpose. Nine devices with decreasing fin width are measured using ns-PCD. The quality of the grown fins is reflected in the plots obtained.

▼ Today, against the backdrop of the demographic pressures to delay the retirement of older workers, sociologists of aging have begun exploring the impact of national labor market institutions on individual workers’ experiences of aging. Using semi-structured, life story interview data drawn from a sample of 52 male workers in the Tokyo area (born between 1940 and 1953), this dissertation research has contributed to uncovering the ways in which the institution of lifetime employment – the most foundational labor market institution of contemporary Japan – uses age to control individuals’ perceptions and behaviors over the course of their working lives. This dissertation research includes data from pre-mandatory retirement older workers (n=29, aged 55-59) and post-mandatory retirement older workers (n=23, aged 60-68). Based on a social constructionist perspective, this dissertation research has explored three areas of these workers’ experiences of aging over the course of their working lives: (1) perceived instances of being subjected to age discrimination; (2) changes to their attitudes toward these age discrimination experiences; and (3) changes to their self-concepts as workers. A series of thematic data analyses of the interview data, drawn with a life course approach and a grounded theory method, has generated two sets of findings. First, the pre-mandatory retirement experiences of aging of the interview participants (n=52) have contributed to uncovering and describing a social process through which ‘older workers’ are socially constructed within the institutional framework of lifetime employment. Second, the research has found that after mandatory retirement, the post-mandatory retirement workers (n=23) rejected the label of ‘older workers’ and critically viewed lifetime employment as a 'total institution' (Goffman 1961), essentially an institution of social control, harmful to workers in their later working lives. This dissertation research has contributed to the literature by demonstrating that the lifetime employment institution in Japan serves as an intensive age-based social control mechanism that has constructed and reproduced ‘older workers’ in the country’s labor force. Based on the findings of post-mandatory retirement experience of aging, this dissertation research also suggests that the Japanese government should find ways to mitigate the social exclusion, marginalization, and stigmatization that workers experience in their post-mandatory retirement working lives.

The fact that many banks today target students with concessional deals is no news. Students are a coveted group at the financial institutions, above all because they will most likely have a secure and well paid occupancy after they have finished their studies. This study will show the importance of banks attracting the students as customers and that the students will continue being customers even after having finalised their studies. It will also show that the banks market themselves towards the students as if students were a homogenous group as well as proving the benefits of calculating a student’s Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). The study is based on research articles within the subject, one interview with the CEO at one of the banks in Sweden and two surveys that were sent out to 10 000 people that are either part of a current student deal at a bank or has been. The result shows that the bank will increase its long-‐term profitability if it has more students in the customer base. Given that the students remain as customers of the bank after their studies are finished. The results also show the significance of dividing the group "students" based on chosen variables depending on the banks objective and CLV. From this it is concluded that it is less expensive reaching out to the academic meritorious customers in an early stage then to obtain these customers hindsight.

Att många banker riktar sig mot studenter med förmånliga erbjudanden är ingen nyhet. Studenter är en eftertraktad målgrupp hos de finansiella institutionerna, framför allt eftersom chansen är stor att studenter efter studierna kommer att få välbetalda jobb. Den här studien kommer att visa vikten av att banker attraherar studenter som bankkunder och att studenter fortsätter att vara bankkunder efter avslutade studier. Den kommer även visa att banker marknadsför sig mot alla studenter som en homogen målgrupp, samt fördelarna med att räkna ut en students Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). Underlaget till studien är forskningsartiklar och rapporter inom ämnet, en intervju med en VD för en svensk bank och två enkäter som skickats ut till 10 000 personer som antingen är med i ett studenterbjudande hos en bank eller har varit det. Resultaten visar att banker skulle öka sin långsiktiga lönsamhet om de hade fler studenter som bankkunder, förutsatt att de stannar kvar som kunder efter avslutade studier. Resultatet visar även betydelsen av att dela upp studenterna i mindre delsegment efter valda variabler beroende på bankens målsättning och CLV. Utifrån detta dras slutsatsen att det är mindre kostsamt att nå ut till de akademiskt meriterade kunderna i ett tidigt skede än att erhålla dessa kunder i efterhand.

▼ The objective of this thesis was to design and assemble a device for diode laser lifetime testing. This thesis also introduce briefly the history, basics of operation, some applications and manufacturing methods of diode lasers. This thesis was done to Modulight Oy. At my responsibility was to design the electronics and mechanics of the device. At the beginning of the project some requirements were set to the device. The device had to be able to measure eight diodes simultaneously, setup had to be easily scaled for more simultaneous measurements, it had to be able to drive at least 15 amps of current to a load of 2.5 volts with each channel, it had to monitor and log the current and voltage of each channel and it had to be able to control the temperatures of each channel between 10 and 50 degrees Celsius. The design started from the schematic of the electronics. For this I used a software called EAGLE. I chose this software because it was a standard design tool at Modulight. The main component of the device was a constant current driver. For this case the best option was to choose predesigned and manufactured ATLS6A201D from Analog Technologies. It was already familiar to me from previous projects so it was a natural choice for me. Analog Technologies also provided comprehensive instructions on how to use their driver in different situations so those could be easily be used as a base of the design. The next step was to design the layout for the electronics. At this stage the placement of the components and the physical dimensions of the PCB was determined. The main feature to be considered with this design was the large amount of current that the PCB had to withstand. Each channel needed to be able to drive 15 amps of current so the PCB and the connectors on it had to be able to withstand 120 amps. To manage this, I designed six layers to the PCB. This way I could use a full layer of copper for just conducting the current. In the design of the layout I also had to consider the physical shape of the PCB and the attachment of it to the mechanics. After the layout was designed, the next phase was to design the mechanics. For this I used a software called SolidWorks. One of the requirements was that the device should be easily scalable for more simultaneous measurements. To achieve this, I decided to design the device on a rack self. This way the scaling would be easy just by adding more selves to the set. Most of the component manufacturers offers 3D-models of their product free of charge so basically I just had to combine all these ready-made designs in to one assembly. One of the most important things in the mechanics design was to consider the heat control. Powerful drivers and lasers would both produce a lot of heat that needed to be led away from the setup. I executed the cooling by adding to big heatsinks under the PCB and to fans to blow cool air through both of them. Everything combined the device consisted of rack self, rack frame, PCB, eight peltier elements that were used to control the temperatures of…

▼ The boron-oxygen (BO) defect is ubiquitously present in p-type Czochralski material and is known to cause significant carrier induced degradation in commercial solar cells. Despite being well-known for years, the nature and behaviour of the defect are not yet completely understood. This thesis aims to shed new insights into the properties of the BO defect and the mechanisms underlying known processes that can be used to mitigate its effects.This thesis begins with a review of the known properties and behaviours of the BO defect, and a summary of the key gaps in knowledge. Statistical regression-based methods to characterise the recombination properties of the defect at room temperature and at elevated temperatures using injection-dependent lifetime spectroscopy (IDLS) and temperature- and injection-dependent lifetime spectroscopy (TIDLS) are presented and applied to independently confirm the trap level (EC – (0.41 ± 0.01) eV), the associated capture cross section ratio (11.5 ± 1.0) and the power exponent of temperature dependence of the capture cross sections (-2.3 ± 0.1) associated with the BO donor level in p-type Czochralski wafers. Empirical models to determine effective carrier lifetime at elevated temperatures are also developed and applied to unambiguously determine the carrier dependence of the rate constants of degradation and annealing. These are then explicitly accounted for to obtain improved estimates of the associated activation energies and characteristic frequencies based on fits to datasets in this and other works in the literature.Also investigated in this thesis are various proposed mechanisms underlying permanent deactivation of the BO defect via rapid thermal annealing and via regeneration (illuminated annealing). It is concluded that the two effects occur independently and are likely unrelated. Thermal deactivation is explained as defect dissociation into precursors, whereas regeneration is concluded to be hydrogen passivation of the fully formed defect. Finally, the new insights gained into the nature of the BO defect and the configurational changes that occur during defect state transitions are discussed in the context of existing literature.

▼ Power saving for extending session lifetime is an important research subject in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Recognizing the fact that Quality of Service can be deteriorated by insufficient transmit power, this work studies how to minimize power consumption while achieve a satisfactory QoS of data streams in WSNs. A cross-layer routing scheme is proposed to maximize session lifetime by adjusting individual transmit power on intermediate nodes. The thesis is divided into two major parts for analyzing our proposition. In the first part, we propose an efficient routing scheme with optimal power management and on-demand quality control for WSNs. When source node issues a QoS provision for route discovery, an adjustment of transmit power is computed for each pass-by node by taking into its individual wireless link account. Then, an optimal route associated with lowest power consumption and consistent QoS can be selected among all of the candidate routes. In the second part, by following the definition of QoS criterion in the first part, we further consider the problem of how to balance the needs on constraining end-to-end quality and prolonging lifetime in an established route. The problem can be interpreted as a non-linear optimization paradigm, which is then shown to be a max-min composite formulation. To solve the problem, we propose two methods, (1) route-associated power management (RAPM), and (2) link-associated power management (LAPM). Considering computation-restricted sensor nodes, the RAPM scheme is two-fold simplification; not only it can reduce power computation, but it also quickly determines the longest lifetime and proper transmit power for nodes. On the other hand, if computational cost is not a major concern in a sink node, the LAPM algorithm is more suitable than RAPM to solve the lifetime maximization problem, in terms of accuracy. Finally, we analyze the performance of these two methods. The results demonstrate that the LAPM scheme is very comparable to a heuristic approach.

Polyethylene (PE) pipes, are used for water delivery, are susceptible to oxidation. As a result of oxidation PE becomes brittle and brittle pipes/tubes crack under the influence of tensile loads. These cracks initially propagate slowly and later on grow quickly becoming unstable. The focus of this study is slow crack growth in high density polyethylene (HDPE). Crack propagation experiments were conducted to determine the dependence of crack growth on degradation and stress levels. HDPE samples, with 0.3mm thickness, were exposed to 80°C chlorinated water (5-8 ppm) for up to 65 days. Thin samples were selected to ensure uniform degradation through the thickness. Although the brittleness of the polymer can be evaluated using strain-at-failure, the drawback of this method is that it destroys the sample. The Carbonyl Index (CI) obtained by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was established as a nondestructive measure of the degradation level. CI ranged from 35 to 93. A higher value of carbonyl index represents a greater extent of degradation. The relationship between CI and loss of mechanical performance was validated by strain-at-failure. Crack propagation tests were conducted were conducted on degraded polymer samples at constant load. The load (stress level) ranged from 5.1 to 9.2 MPa. In all 5 samples were tested. It was found that the crack propagation rate ranged from 6.31 x 10-10 to 1.26 x 10-2 m/s while the stress intensity factor ranged from 0.91 to 4.07 MPa√m. For a single degradation level, regardless of stress, the data when converted to log scale, and fit with the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) relationship = CKn. As the degradation increased the crack propagation rate increased such that all data were fit by the relationship = C(CI)Kn such that the exponential parameter ‘n’ was a constant for all the samples regardless of the level of degradation. The LEFM model fit to the data was best for moderate and high levels of degradation corresponding to CI of 55 and 90. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images show minimal deformation in the region around the crack tip, and ductile fibril stretching in the process zone. While the polymer had become brittle upon oxidation, there is local ductility in the process zone. An LEFM approach is typically applied to brittle materials, while the SEM results show that crack propagation is a combination of brittle and ductile behavior. Future studies should consider other modeling approaches that allow for ductile behavior in the process zone.

▼ Stainless steel components in the UK advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR's) are known to undergo microstructural changes near the surface due to the reactor carbon dioxide environment. Carburisation tends to increase the material's elastic modulus, yield strength and creep resistance and decrease creep ductility. Over the years of operation, small microcracks have been discovered in bifurcation welds that been carburised. R5, the current assessment procedure used for structural integrity assessments, does not consider the effects of carburisation, hence fails to predict creep/creep-fatigue crack initiation. This has led to a simplified approach for assessing such structures. The simplified approach suggests treating the structure as globally homogeneous but with reduced ductility. However, an alternative approach would be to treat the carburised component as a bi-metallic structure consisting of two homogeneous materials with different material properties. This work presents a detailed insight of the effects of carburisation on creep strain and creep damage accumulation, and assesses the validity of the proposed approaches by analytical and finite element modelling. Analytical models have shown that carburisation will lead to increased stress in more creep resistant regions resulting in reduced stress in the bulk section. An analytical solution for a pressurised cylindrical pressure vessel is presented where graded material properties can be implemented for creep lifetime assessment. At the steady state carburisation provide the benefit of reduced creep strain rate and reduced stress triaxiality for internally pressurised carburised cylinders. However, results show that for a small area fraction carburised carburisation cannot extend the time for damage initiation. Finite element models have been used to assess the effects of material being carburised before and after the load application and the impact of bi-metallic assumption. The graded material properties of the carburised layer were found using artificial neural networks that were trained by feeding results from a large-scale Abaqus parametric study. Research has shown material carburisation before the load application can result in either a conservative or non-conservative assessment. Carburisation after the load application shows that the proposed homogeneous assumption will result in a conservative assessment. Advisors/Committee Members: SU, MEINI M, Ainsworth, Robert.

▼ Despite offering high specificity and speed compared to other methods, the dependency of the response of an enzymatic sensor on ambient oxygen concentrations. To investigate this issue, a reaction-diffusion model was developed using the finite element method. Due to the growing population of people with diabetes, glucose was chosen as a model analyte. This glucose sensor model was used to examine the oxygen dependency and the resulting inaccuracy of glucose predictions. To improve the accuracy of glucose predictions, an oxygen compensation method was developed which utilizes a variable calibration curve where the fit parameters are dependent on the ambient oxygen concentration. This allows a unique calibration curve to be obtained for every oxygen concentration. Glucose predictions made with this compensation technique were found to be within clinically acceptable regions more than 95% of the time whereas predictions made without compensation were clinically acceptable less than 50% of the time. In order to apply this compensation technique for real-time analysis, ambient oxygen concentrations must be measured in parallel with the response of the glucose sensor. Despite the growing need for multi-analyte sensors such as this, a suitable method for monitoring multiple responses in vivo has yet to be developed. Due to the measurement flexibility provided by luminescence, a time-domain luminescence lifetime measurement system was developed. The Dynamic Rapid Lifetime Determination (DRLD) approach utilizes a dynamic windowing algorithm to select the optimal window width for calculation of lifetimes using an integrative approach. This method was demonstrated with an oxygen-sensitive luminophore and shown to accurately determine lifetime values six orders of magnitude faster than traditional methods. This method was then extended to simultaneous measurement of the lifetimes from two luminophores (Dual DRLD or DDRLD) for multi-analyte applications. The ability of DDRLD to calculate lifetimes was demonstrated using temperature and oxygen sensing films. Similar to oxygen compensation of glucose sensors, a temperature compensation method was investigated for oxygen sensors. Lifetimes of the temperature sensing films for dual films measurements made using DDRLD were not significantly different than individual film measurements using DRLD. Oxygen responses for dual films followed the same trend as individual film measurements and displayed a minimal difference on average (2%). Real-time, dynamic temperature and oxygen predictions were demonstrated using DDRLD in conjunction with temperature compensation of the oxygen sensing film response.

▼ Although numerous improvements have been achieved in the field of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), there are still some potential strategies for further development in this technology. In that regard, the most straightforward strategy is to enhance the dye light harvesting properties, in particular, by using low band gap dyes. While such approach would in principle increase the photocurrent, low band gap sensitizers typically yield relatively low photovoltage. This phenomenon is caused by strong intermolecular forces, inherent of low band gap materials. Therefore, to simultaneously increase the photocurrent and photovoltage, new concept of the dye design is required. For instance, a multi-chromophoric dye structure, which is basically a single molecule containing several independent light absorbing units. Thus, the present thesis concerns with the investigation of different di-chromophoric dyes in DSSCs. As will be shown, these novel dyes can overcome the typical limitations of low band gap dyes in photovoltage, while increasing the photocurrent as a result of the increased light absorption. They not only enhance light absorption and overcome dispersion forces, but also feature other benefits owing to the tri-dimensionality. This is for instance the addition of bulky groups, which can hinder non desired processes such as recombination. The electron lifetimes and consequently the photovoltage of DSSCs increase as a result. Aspects related to the arrangement of the dyes on the photoanode are also benefited from such groups, which enhance the electron injection efficiency and photocurrent. Therefore, in some cases, co-adsorbers such as chenodeoxycholic acid are no longer needed in the di-chromophoric dye sensitization process. The utilization of the cobalt-based electrolyte in DSSCs using di-chromophoric dyes is also investigated in this thesis in terms of photovoltaic performance and dye regeneration. In a specific case, a microsecond component of partial intramolecular hole transfer is observed in a di-chromophoric dye for the first time, and dye regeneration kinetics in this dichromophoric dye is favoured in respect with the single chromophore of similar driving force. Attaching an organic chromophore with tuned band gap to extend light absorption of the dyad towards the red may introduce competing electron injection pathways, probing a limitation of di-chromophoric dye using low band gap chromophore. Although the latter effect reduces the photocurrent of DSSCs, the electron lifetimes and photovoltage are increased. A comparison between di-chromophoric dye and co-sensitization approaches has been carried out. Utilizing intermolecular forces to enhance the electron lifetimes in DSSCs using di-chromophoric dye will be reported for the first time. Although the power conversion efficiencies of DSSCs using the di-chromophoric dyes still lag behind compared to that of traditional dyes, this thesis provides new prospects in electron transfer mechanisms at the dye-sensitized interfaces. Thus, some…

Mašinstvo - Motorna vozila / Mechanical Engineering - Motor Vehicles

Predmet rada je procjena radnog vijeka elemenata i sistema za prenos snage terertnih vozila od datog početnog stanja pa do dostizanja definisanog graničnog stanja. Granična stanja se određuju na osnovu tehničkih i ekonomskih kriterijuma. Granična stanja po tehničkim kriterijumima nastaju kada dođe do pada kvaliteta rada i funkcionalne sposobnosti sistema, što se dešava pri pojavi odgovarajućeg nivoa pohabanosti, deformacije ili loma elementa. Po ekonomskim kriterijumima granično stanje nastupa kada dođe do pada ekonomske efektivnosti sistema ispod granice isplativosti dalje eksploatacije. Uslovi rada i vrijednosti opterećenja kao i konstrukcione karakteristike primjenjenih materijala elemenata sistema za prenos snage teretnih vozila su dominantno stohastičkog karaktera, pa se zbog nemogućnosti tačnog proračuna vrši procjena njihovog radnog vijeka. U radu su prikazane sistemske metode određivanja opterećenja i proračuna prenosnika snage vozila. Procjena radnog vijeka elementa do loma usled zamora materijala bazirana je na primjeni linearnih hipoteza o akumulaciji oštećenja materijala. Prikazane su metode determinističkog i vjerovatnosnog proračuna, odnosno procjene radnog vijeka elemenata i sistema. Radni vijek elementa izražen u km pređenog puta dat je kao odnos ukupne raspoložive radne sposobnosti elementa i njegove potrebne radne sposobnosti po jednom km puta. Pored prethodno prikazane procjene radnog vijeka elementa i sistema, koji polazi od projektovanog stanja kao početnog, prikazana je i procjena preostalog radnog vijeka elementa i sistema u odnosu na dato izmijenjeno početno stanje. U tom cilju razmatra se promjena stanja elemenata, prvenstveno kroz proces habanja elementa i formiranje zazora u njihovim vezama. Prikazan je uticaj zazora na tehničke i ekonomske pokazatelje od značaja za preostali radni vijek elemenata i sistema za prenos snage vozila. Uticaj zazora na opterećenje elemenata i sistema za prenos snage vozila razmatran je na uprošćenom dvomasenom modelu i detaljnom modelu sistema: pogonski motor-sistem za prenos snage-pogonski točak-vozilo-put (PM-SPS-PT-V-P). Odgovarajući matematički i simulacioni modeli verifikovani su u značajnoj mjeri eksperimentalnim ispitivanjem. Eksperimentalnim putem ispitan je uticaj zazora na poluvratilu jednog putničkog vozila na vrijednost momenta u prelaznom procesu i ustaljenom režimu kretanja. U radu je prikazana i procjena preostalog radnog vijeka sistema za prenos snage do dostizanja graničnog stanja po ekonomskim kriterijumima. Prikazana je procjena optimalnog radnog vijeka po kriterijumima minimuma specifičnih troškova i maksimalne dobiti u eksploataciji vozila. Na osnovu izloženih sadržaja izvedeni su odgovarajući zaključci koji pokazuju naučni doprinos i upotrebni značaj rezultata. Na kraju rada ukazano je na potrebu i pravce daljih istraživanja problematike koja je predmet rada
