    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap och tillämpad matematik (MTM)

    Author : Hussein Al-Hussein; [2023]
    Keywords : Alpha-iron; Chromium carbide; Cr7C3; Fe; Theoretical investigation; Orthorhombic; X-ray diffraction pattern; XRD; VASP; VESTA; Body-centered-cubic; Ferrite; Density functional theory; DFT; Surface relaxation; Simulation; Calculation; Energy relaxation; Slab models; Coherency; Surface energy; Interfacial energy; Alfa-järn; Kromkarbid; Cr7C3; Fe; Teoretisk undersökning; Ortorombisk; Röntgendiffraktion; XRD; VASP; VESTA; Ytenergi; Koherent; Simulering; Beräkning; Järnkarbid; DFT; Täthetsfunktionalanalys;

    Abstract : This master thesis presents a theoretical investigation of the energy and stability of interfaces in iron-carbide compounds, specifically focusing on the α-Fe/Cr7C3 system. The study aims to fill the gap in knowledge regarding the surface energetics of these interfaces using Density Functional Theory (DFT). READ MORE

  3. 2. Wireless Charging Technology Infrastructure for Ferries in Göteborg (Västra Götaland)

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Akinboyewa; Elena Simona Udrescu; [2023]
    Keywords : Wireless power transfer; Electric ferries; shore infrastructure; swot analysis; electrification; Vesta;

    Abstract : The maritime transport sector makes a significant contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, playing a consistent and increasing part in global CO2 emissions. Electrification of marine transportation is a key and necessary step for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and for avoiding the worst consequences of climate change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Atomic wear mechanisms of hard chrome against Al2O3

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Raul Fierro Tobar; Marius Yuku; [2021]
    Keywords : Wear mechanisms; DFT; MD; hard chrome; aluminium; RDF; adhesive; abrasive; Nötning; DFT; MD; hårdkrom; aluminium; RDF; adhesiv; abrasiv;

    Abstract : Hard chrome exhibit hardness of about 70 HRC and lubricity that prevents seizing and galling and is therefore the common first choice for engineers to reduce friction and minimize wear. These properties enable engineering applications such as cutting and drilling, especially in manufacturing, production and consumer good industries. READ MORE

  5. 4. Spacecraft dynamic analysis and correlation with test results : Shock environment analysis of LISA Pathfinder at VESTA test bed

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Beata Iwona Kunicka; [2017]
    Keywords : FEA FEM; finite element analysis; finite element method; mechanical analysis; structural analysis; dynamic analysis; computational dynamic analysis of structures; shock analysis; shock environment; shock test; shock test campaign; spacecraft dynamic analysis; MSC Nastran; MSC Patran; Dynaworks; Shock Response Spectrum; SRS; space engineering; space science and technology; mechanical engineering; structural engineering; analysis optimisation; analysis parametrisation; mechanical wave propagation; shock propagation; damping; hysteretic damping; viscous damping; structural damping;

    Abstract : The particular study case in this thesis is the shock test performed on the LISA Pathfinder satellite conducted in a laboratory environment on a dedicated test bed: Vega Shock Test Apparatus (VESTA). This test is considered fully representative to study shock levels produced by fairing jettisoning event at Vega Launcher Vehicle, which induces high shock loads towards the satellite. READ MORE
