1. 1. Continuous Fibre Reinforcements in Injection Moulded Composites

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

   Author : Erik Björkqvist; [2023]
   Keywords : Injection moulding; Plastics; Thermoplastics; Fibre Reinforcement; FEM; Formsprutning; Plast; Termoplast; Fiberarmering; FEM;

   Abstract : The use of continuously reinforced thermoplastics have increased in recent years andoffer some significant advantages over their thermoset counterparts. The utilizationof these materials is however still limited due to the labour intensive processingand manufacturing. READ MORE

3. 2. Life cycle energy optimization as a tool to compare and evaluate the optimal design in the automotive industry

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

   Author : Robert Jonsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Optimisation; Lightweight structures; Carbon Fibre; Composites; LCA; Life Cycle Energy; Optimering; Lättkonstruktioner; Kolfiber; Kompositer; LCA; Livscykelenergi;

   Abstract : Fiber reinforced plastics are composite materials that offer a lower weight, while still mechanically perform at least as good as conventional materials such as steel. This makes them attractive for the automotive industry since the implementation of them in e.g. READ MORE

4. 3. Early assessment of composite structures : Framework to analyse the potential of fibre reinforced composites in a structure subjected to multiple load case

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner; KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)

   Author : Srikanth Ananthasubramanian; Priyank Gupta; [2018]
   Keywords : MATLAB; Fibre Reinforced Plastics; finite-element; laminate design; classical laminate theory.;

   Abstract : To meet the need of lightweight chassis in the near future, a technological step of introducing anisotropic materials like Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) in structural parts of cars is a possible way ahead. Though there are commercially available tools to find suitability of Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRPs) and their orientations, they depend on numerical optimization and complexity increases with the size of the model.

6. 5. Simulation Method Development of Ultra Thick Laminates: : with Cohesive Zone Method and Empirical Arcan Tests

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

   Author : Jack Yan; [2011]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : To reduce the product life cost of aircrafts, the conversion of major load bearing components from aluminium to carbon fibre reinforced plastics have been proposed. Large load bearing components require significantly thicker composite laminates than conventional. READ MORE
