  1. 1. Drop-weight impact tests on reinforced concrete beams

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : John Abdalnour; Milad Saliba; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master's thesis aimed to investigate the behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under dynamic loading conditions, specifically focusing on understanding shear failure. The study was conducted with KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the Swedish Fortifications Agency, and Tyréns. READ MORE

  3. 2. Rapid expansion of roof mounted PV systems in commercial facilities - How can they be insured?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Erik Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : PV system fires; PV component failures; PV regulations; future PV regulations; PV risk assessment; PV risk evaluation; PV insurance price; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. READ MORE

  4. 3. Wet Spinning of Cellulose-Lignin Precursor for Carbon Fibers : Effect of Coagulation Bath Composition & Spin Finish

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Julia Sundmark; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; Cold alkali; Cold NaOH; lignin; cellulose; wet spinning; Kolfiber; kallalkali; lignin; cellulosa; våtspinning;

    Abstract : Carbon fibers (CF) are a material with a composition of over 90% carbon, which has high mechanical properties and low density. This unique combination of properties makes it requirable in applications such as vehicles, aerospace, wind power, and space industries. Commercially made CF are made using the fossil raw material polyacrylonitrile (PAN). READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterisation of an Additively Manufactured Self-Sensing Material Using Carbon Fibre Sensors

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Alain Williamson; [2023]
    Keywords : Additive Manufacturing; Self-Sensing Material; Carbon Fibre Sensors; Structural Health Monitoring; Space Applications; 3D-Printed Continuous Carbon Fibre Filament; Strain Sensor; Mechanical Properties; Electromechanical Properties; Tensile Strength; Failure Strain; Base Resistance; Gauge Factor; Linearity; Systematic Literature Review; Material Selection; Mechanical Design; Material Development; Feasibility Study;

    Abstract : Increasing demand for structural health monitoring in space highlights the need to make the creation of these systems more accessible. This study investigates the potential of additive manufacturing to achieve this goal by characterizing a self-sensing material made of a commercially available 3D-printed continuous carbon fibre filament.

  6. 5. Finite-Element Analysis of Cryogenic Pressure Vessels Under Blast Loading

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Casper Liavåg; [2023]
    Keywords : Cryogenic Pressure Vessel; Blast; Blast Loading; Pressure Vessel; Launch Infrastructure;

    Abstract : The behavior of cryogenic double-walled pressure vessels, such as thoseused in space launch vehicle infrastructure, under blast loading is a somewhatunderstudied topic. This is of interest due its implications on, among otherthings, launch site design and safety in the event of a launch vehicle failure. READ MORE
