  1. 1. Towards sustainable shipping: Recommendations for the telescopic mast design of a sailing cargo vessel

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Lukas Blau; [2021]
    Keywords : Oceanbird; telescopic mast; conceptual design; sailing cargo vessel;

    Abstract : A comparative study is carried out to investigate the most promising route towardsthe lightweight construction of a retractable mast for a sailing cargo vessel.Four design families are developed and compared. The primary criteria forjudgment are the structural mass, strength, and stiffness in relation to a providedbenchmark design. READ MORE

  3. 2. A comparative study on hole quality criteria on CFRP drilling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell Produktion

    Author : Jerome Paul Raenius Jeevanandham; Sakthivel Balaji; [2021]
    Keywords : CFRP; Composites; Hole quality; Delamination; Uncut fibers; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Drilling is an essential hole-making operation in the modern industrial world. Drilling operation is comparatively challenging in composites when compared to metals. Composites are heterogeneous and possess a high strength-to-weight ratio which makes it a challenge in composite drilling. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of protecting coatings for composites in an aero-engine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Julien Mertz; [2021]
    Keywords : composites; coatings; aerospace; aero-engine; lightning strike; fire; erosion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials exhibit high specificstrength and stiffness therefore they can be a lightweight alternative to metalliccomponents for the front section of an aero-engine. Despite the benefit of CFRP composite materials for aero-engine applications, there arealso new challenges due to their inherent properties compared to conventionalaerospace metallic structures, such as a lower erosion resistance, poor thermalresistance, and poor electrical conductivity.

  5. 4. Sustainable polymer-tribology : Developing novel multiscale thermoplastic composites using recycled high-performance fibers

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Maskinelement

    Author : Alejandra Marcela Ventura Cervellón; [2021]
    Keywords : Tribology; Carbon Fibers; Recycled Carbon Fibers; Circular Economy; Composite; UHMWPE; Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene;

    Abstract : The transition to a Circular Economy scheme that enables a more efficient usage of the resources is one of the most pressing needs in our society. From the industrial perspective this has been translated into new design philosophies and the search for more efficient systems. READ MORE

  6. 5. Performance of reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers : Case study: Essinge Bridge over Pampaslänken

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad; KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Zeinab Mirzahassanagha; Eva Malo; [2021]
    Keywords : CFRP; External Strengthening Method; RC Bridges; Curved Substrate; Finite Element Modelling; Kolfiberväv; Extern Förstärkningsmetod; Betongarmerade broar; Konkav yta; Finita Elementa Modellering;

    Abstract : This master thesis deals with the performance of existing reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP). One of the main aims of this work is to understand the functionality of such an external strengthening method applied to a concave surface in a heavy concrete structure such as a bridge. READ MORE
