Matching ambition with institutional innovation: the EUs Comprehensive Approach and Civil-Military Organisation
(2009)The aim of this report is to assess the degree to which institutional developments have enhanced the EU’s ability to implement a Comprehensive Approach (CA), which has become something of raison d’état for the burgeoning ... -
Matching robust ambitions with robust action in UN peace operations : towards a conceptual overstretch?
(2009)Dilemmas concerning the use of force in UN peace operations have triggered debates ever since the UN first deployed armed peacekeepers to Sinai after the Suez Crisis in 1956. This report takes a broad and critical view on ... -
Material models for concrete exposed to impact loading
(2023-05-16)Concrete is an important material in building protective structures. To calculate what happens to these structures when exposed to impact loads, we need to have a good understanding of the material behavior. Empirical and ... -
Material properties of silica/epoxy nanocomposites
(2015-06-29)The use of composite materials in a variety of applications has increased considerably in the last couple of decades. The main reason for this is that composite materials are lightweight materials with high strength and ... -
Material properties of Wolfram Carbide established by using a bending test
(2002)In this article a study of the stresses caused by bending of penetrators made of Wolfram Carbide has been carried out. Experimental data was compared with simulations using the Marc-3D code and with solutions from a simple ... -
Material properties of wolfram carbide established by using a simple indentation test
(2003)In this article a study of the fracture stress caused by indentation of wolfram carbide penetrators into steel blocks has been carried out. Experimental data was compared with simulations using the Nike-2D code and with ... -
Materialer for ballistisk beskyttelse
(2009)Metaller har fra tidenes morgen vært brukt både som våpen og beskyttelse. Teknologi for bearbeiding ble tidlig utviklet, og råvarene var tilgjengelige. Metaller er de materialene, innenfor beskyttelsessammenheng, med ... -
Materiellinvestering i Forsvaret : norsk forsvarsindustris rolle (1995-2002)
(2004)This report analyses procurement and acquisitions in the Norwegian Armed Forces - Norwegian defence industry's role 1995-2002. The methodology used is firstly, to present the "Industry Perspective"; an up-dated holistic ... -
Materiellinvesteringar i forsvarssektoren – når vi måla? – Utvida samandrag av FFI-rapport 24/00554
(Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, 2024-04)Forsvarssektorens evne til å løyse morgondagens oppgåver er avhengig av dagens evne til å investere i dei rette prosjekta og at prosjekta blir gjennomført på ein effektiv måte. -
Materiellinvesteringer i forsvarssektoren – når vi målene?
(2024-04-17)Materiellinvesteringer er et av de viktigste virkemidlene for å modernisere og videreutvikle Forsvaret, og det økonomiske omfanget av investeringene er betydelig. I 2022 alene ble det benyttet om lag 20 mrd. kroner på nytt ... -
Materiellinvesteringer – Fra idé til effekt
(Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, 2024-03)Nytt materiell og nye løsninger er en av de avgjørende driverne for utvikling av et effektivt og relevant forsvar. Det er viktig at investeringene utnytter de teknologiske mulighetene. -
Materiellrelatert driftskostnadsvekst i Forsvaret
(2005)Cost escalation is a subject of great impact on long term defence planning, and estimating a cost escalation factor for future cost modelling is therefore important. The historically observed cost escalation is an important ... -
Maternal deprivation of Lewis rat pups increases the severity of experimental periodontitis in adulthood
(2015)Background and Objective: Early life adverse events may influence susceptibility/resistance to chronic inflammatory diseases later in life by permanently dysregulating brain-controlled immune-regulatory systems. We ... -
Mathematical modelling of the oxygen uptake kinetics during whole-body endurance exercise and recovery
(2017)In this study, we elucidate four different mathematical models of the kinetics of oxygen uptake during whole-body endurance exercise at different intensities and throughout the subsequent recovery periods. We employ the ... -
Mathematical relations related to the lode parameter for studies of ductility
(2016)During plastic flow, hydrostatic pressure and plastic strain control the size of the yield surface while the Lode angle is responsible for its shape. The von Mises yield condition shows no dependency of the Lode angle ... -
Mathematical simulation of enegy expenditure and recovery during sprint cross-country skiing
(2014)Purpose: A cross-country sprint competition relies on maximal effort durations of 3–4 minutes. Significant anaerobic energy contribution is expected. Anaerobic energy contribution has been estimated in different sports to ... -
Matlab toolbox for processing of GREAC cell data
(2000)This report provides the documention for a Matlab toolbox that has been developed at FFI. The purpose of the toolbox is to process and analyse raw data from a GREAC cell test, in order to extract material models and parameters ... -
Matsikkerhet i et klimaperspektiv
(2016-01-13)Observasjoner viser at den globale gjennomsnittstemperaturen har steget markant siden midten av forrige århundre og at det er svært sannsynlig at menneskeskapte utslipp av klimagasser har vært den dominerende årsaken. ... -
