    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Oscar Ehrler; Anton Holmén; [2022]
    Keywords : UAV; Blended wing body; BWB; wing structure; Scots pine; Fiber reinforced plastic; FRP; Off axis loading of fiber reinforced plastic; wing mount;

    Abstract : The student inclusive Green Raven project of the KTH-Aero faculty requireda small blended wing model of their new flying wing design. The small scalemodel will be used for various flight tests. The goal of this specific project was tocreate an internal structure for the small scale model, including an outer shell. READ MORE

  3. 2. Structural strengthening and sustainability improvements of existing buildings – A case study

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Pardis Niknafs; [2022]
    Keywords : Building retrofit; structural strengthening; energy efficiency; environmental impact; integrated and sustainable intervention; cross-laminated timber; life cycle assessment;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a large share of residential buildings was built more than 50 years ago. Consequently, old materials, poor maintenance, and corrosion can affect the structural performance of these buildings. Additionally, these buildings do not meet the latest energy efficiency and Eurocode regulations. READ MORE
