Bred och fin väg, plötsligt blir det 80 istället för 100! Och på min lilla gata, varför kör bilarna så fort här? Och hur fort får en cykel köra egentligen? Hur bestäms vilken hastighet som ska gälla på en väg/gata, och vem är det som beslutar detta? Varför ska det vara så svårt att hålla de angivna hastighetsbegränsningarna? Tre experter

Martin Fagerström , Department of Applied Mechanics, Chalmers University of Technology, welcomes you to his docent lecture. Lecture Title: Computational Failure Mechanics - Challenges, Trends and Results Abstract Transportation road vehicles, aircraft and sea vessels all need to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and increase energy efficiency. To realise these improvements, weight reduction is a key. As a consequence, an
