  1. 1. Development of Radon Detectors for Earthquake Prediction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Alma Partos; Astrid Schöldström; [2023]
    Keywords : Radon; earthquake; gamma ray spectroscopy;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project is to simulate the detection of γ-ray spectra emitted by radon isotopes and their daughters. This is done as a contribution to the development of radiation detectors to be used in a research project investigating the possibility of using increased amounts of the radioactive gas radon as an earthquake precursor.

  3. 2. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) Analysis and Predicted Physical Properties of Shocked Quartz from the Chicxulub Impact Crater, Mexico

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erina Prastyani; [2022]
    Keywords : EBSD; SEM; shocked quartz; quartz; CPO; seismic velocity; anisotropy; Chicxulub; impact crater; pole figures; MTEX toolbox; microstructural features; planar deformation feature; planar fracture; feather features;

    Abstract : As one of the most common minerals in crustal rocks, quartz has been widely used as an indicator for shock metamorphism. Shocked quartz is found in the Chicxulub impact crater, an impact crater that has been linked to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction ~66 million years ago. READ MORE

  4. 3. Energy and Strength-based Criteria for Intralaminar Crack Growth in Regions with High Stress Gradients

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Anish Niranjan Kulkarni; [2021]
    Keywords : Cross-ply composites; High crack density; Stress gradient; FEM; Stress analysis; Strain Energy Release Rate;

    Abstract : Cross-ply composite laminates can develop very high density of transverse cracks in the 90-layer under severe thermal and mechanical loading conditions. At such high crack densities, two adjacent cracks start to interact, and a stress gradient is created in the region between these cracks. READ MORE

  5. 4. SUSTAINABLE LUBRICATION FOR FUTURE TRANSMISSIONS : Micropitting performance of Glycerol-based lubricants

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Zapata Tamayo Juan Guillermo; [2021]
    Keywords : micropitting; mild sliding wear; surface coating; diamond-like carbon DLC; glycerol-based lubrication; green lubricant; rolling contact fatigue; rolling-sliding;

    Abstract : Achieving sustainable lubrication by using environmentally friendly formulated lubricants has became an essential component of the transition process from fossil-powered vehicles to electrified transportation. Mixtures, or aqueous solutions of molecules such as polyhydroxy alcohols, and glycols usually known as green lubricants make it possible to achieve low friction coefficients under different lubrication conditions, which constitutes a potential alternative to improve the tribological performance of moving parts in automotive systems, at the same time that the environmental requirements are satisfied.

  6. 5. EB-PBF additive manufacturing of Alloy 718 : Effect of shot peening on surface characteristics and high temperature corrosion performance

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Avdelningen för Industriell ekonomi, Elektro- och Maskinteknik

    Author : Venkataramanan Mohandass; [2019]
    Keywords : Alloy 718; additive manufacturing; electron beam-powder bed fusion; surface engineering; shot peening; high temperature corrosion;

    Abstract : There is an upsurge of research interest on Alloy 718 additively manufactured (AM) by electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) technique in aero and land-based gas turbine engines. However, the surface quality of the manufactured components has always been a major challenge. READ MORE
