  1. 1. 3D printing of ceramic composites with improved mechanical strength

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Liu Yuchen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractCeramic materials have a wide range of applications in many fields, but their fragility limits theiruse in high strength and high stress environments. Therefore, by combining ceramic materialswith reinforcing agents, their mechanical properties can be improved. READ MORE

  3. 2. An overview of the development and potential of ceramic materials for use in micro gas turbines

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Alexander Ahlqvist Fehr; [2023]
    Keywords : Gas Turbines; Ceramics; Micro Gas Turbines; Gas Turbiner; Keramik; Mikro Gas Turbines;

    Abstract : This paper presents an analysis of the potential of Micro Gas Turbines (MGT) with regards to performance, economic and durability considerations. The performance potential was assessed by calculating the cycle efficiency based on the Brayton cycle and the mechanical efficiency of the expansion turbine. READ MORE

  4. 3. Life after social death : A study of creolisation among enslaved communities in the former Danish West Indies

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia

    Author : Kajsa Rosén-Wiksten; [2023]
    Keywords : Slavery; transatlantic slave trade; creolisation; social death; material culture; theoretical framework; cultural expression; identity; agency; colonialism; inclusion; Slaveri; transatlantisk slavhandel; kreolisering; social död; materiell kultur; teoretiskt ramverk; kulturella uttryck; identitet; agens; kolonialism; inkludering;

    Abstract : This thesis examines and discusses how creolisation theory has influenced the material culture of enslaved people from former Danish West Indies plantations. The essay contends that creolisation is the theory required to advance slavery studies because it demonstrates how enslaved people created their own identity, belonging, and kept African cultures and customs alive despite being socially dead.

  5. 4. How To: Use Craft as an Everyday Intervention of Joy

    University essay from Konstfack/Keramik & Glas

    Author : Ciara Neufeldt; [2023]
    Keywords : Craft; ceramics; nerikomi; joy; somatics; experiential; public accessibility; everyday life;

    Abstract : This paper questioned how we could utilise feelings of joy, specifically those within a craft context, as a tool of intervention in everyday life. I explored using craft, both in its making and experiencing, as a means for carrying joy into the daily life of the public, thereby increasing well-being and potentially acting as a catalyst for change.

  6. 5. Simulations of experimental crack development in ceramic material with notched specimen

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Clas Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; Fracture mechanics; Ceramics; Dynamics; Ballistics; Hållfasthetslära; Brottmekanik; Keramer; Dynamik; Ballistik;

    Abstract : Low-density armour often uses ceramic materials, as their high compressive strength and relatively low weight make the material ideal for moving in the field. The ballistic protection works by redirecting the plastic flow of the projectile radially, which reduces penetration. READ MORE
