  1. 21. Structural Assessment of the Glulam Arches at Stockholm Central Station

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Anders Naumburg; Kasper Krönlein; [2020]
    Keywords : Wood; Glulam; Glulam-arch; Hetzer system; Töreboda system; AB Fribärande träkonstruktioner; Curved I glulam cross-sections;

    Abstract : The purpose of this master’s thesis was to investigate if suspension of heavy objectsis possible in the glulam arches at Stockholm Central Station. The main goal was todetermine the arches’ load carrying capacity’s utility ratio, in order to give knowledgeif additional loading can be added. READ MORE

  3. 22. Stability analysis and modelling of a structure with corrugated roof

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Nikola Tosovic; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Corrugated galvanized iron (CGI), or corrugated sheet metal, is a lightweight roofing material that was invented in the early 1800s. The corrugation gives the steel an increased flexural strength in its installed direction and thus increases the amount of load the CGI-plate is able to carry and the span it can be effective at.

  4. 23. Strength assessment of rig foundations for a sailing car carrier

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Alfred Rapaport; [2020]
    Keywords : Naval Architecture; Solid Mechanics; Finite Element Analysis; Concept development; Sailing; Skeppsbyggnad; Hållfasthetslära; Finita elementmetoden; Konceptutveckling; Segling;

    Abstract : The wPCC project (wind powered car carrier) is carried out by Wallenius Marine, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SSPA Sweden. By developing a car carrier mainly propelled by the wind, the emissions are estimated to be reduced by up to 90 %. This thesis deals with the structural aspects of the design. READ MORE

  5. 24. Investigating In-plane Shear Behaviour of Uncured Unidirectional Prepreg Tapes

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Ming Kai Chea; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Steering of prepreg tows in an automated fibre placement (AFP) process allows geodesic layup trajectory over a doubly-curved surface, as well as the potential to improve the efficiency of composite structures by tailoring their stiffness. However, defects (such as out-of-plane buckling and tow pull off) are commonly generated when the steering radius exceeds a critical limit, which impact the mechanical properties of the finished product.

  6. 25. Design of wind turbine blades with respect to stability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Oskar Lindkvist; Victor Nicolausson; [2019]
    Keywords : FEM; Buckling; Stability; Wind turbine blades; Steel.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. READ MORE
