    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Zhelei Jin; [2023]
    Keywords : Welded joints; Fatigue; Pre-fatigue; Life extension; Fracture mechanics; Finite element analysis; HFMI; ; Svetsade fogar; utmattning; förutmattning; livsförlängning; frakturmekanik; finit elementanalys; HFMI; ;

    Abstract : High-Frequency Mechanical Impacts (HFMI) is a surface treatment technique utilized to introduce residual stresses and extend the service life of structures. This project primarily focuses on studying the life extension effects of HFMI on welded structures that have undergone fatigue and have existing cracks. READ MORE

  3. 2. MODELLING OF HEAT TRANSFER OF RAILWAY SWITCH HEATING

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

    Author : Siddharth Suresh Sumathi; [2023]
    Keywords : Conjugate Heat transfer analysis; transient analysis; CFD; insulation; measurement data uncertainties.; Konjugat Värmeöverföringsanalys; transientanalys; CFD; isolering; mätdata osäkerheter.;

    Abstract : Switches and crossings are vital components of the railway network. Obstacles to the smooth functioning of these components could result in delays and network traffic. Given the geographical location of Sweden, snow is one of the major obstacles for the switches. READ MORE

  4. 3. Simulation and Experimental Based Hardenability Evaluation of Chromium Alloyed Powder Metal Steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Atharva Kotasthane; [2023]
    Keywords : Hardenability; Martensite; Simulation Modelling; Microhardness; Microstructure; Härdbarhet; Martensit; Simuleringsmodellering; Mikrohårdhet; Mikrostruktur;

    Abstract : Powder metallurgy is a branch of metal forming technology where metal powders are used to manufacture parts and components. It is a flexible and economical technique for manufacturing complicated shapes. This present work focuses on press and sinter technology and forms a part of Höganäs’s efforts of modelling hardenability through quenching. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a Method to Determine the Influence of Rubber Components in Dynamic Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Farkostteknik och Solidmekanik

    Author : Mårten Vuorinen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order to make sure that an engine can withstand the vibration loads, while the weight is kept as low as possible, some components on the engine are made of rubber. The stiffness of these rubber components are several orders of magnitude lower than the surrounding metal components, and the inclusion of rubber components affects the dynamic behaviour of the engine.

  6. 5. Characterizing coil windings noise due to compressive fault currents : A study to determine if there is a characteristic noise from transformer windings due to fault currents

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Simon Lundgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Transformer windings; short circuit forces; current pulses; microphone; Comsol Multiphysics; FFT; Transformator lindningar; strömpulser; mikrofon; kortslutingskrafter; Comsol Multiphysics; FFT;

    Abstract : Transformers are essential for modern power distribution system. They are efficient and enable the voltages to be transformed up for transportation of electricity and back down for consumer use. The reliability of the transformer is affected by faults and fatigue of the copper. READ MORE
