  1. 1. Viscoelasticity of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites : Measuring the time-dependence of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) composite’s mechanical properties, using digital image correlation

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Marine Jeanne Debouvry; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The viscoelastic behavior of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite was investigated, in an effort to learn more about the mechanical properties of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites. Tensile creep tests with constant load were performed for native wood, non-delignified, and delignified wood-polymer composites. READ MORE

  3. 2. Methodology for evaluation of long-term mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials

    University essay from

    Author : NIKHIL JOSEPH EBI; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of complex geometries using layer-by-layerdeposition of materials like polymers and metals. However, predicting the long-term viscoelasticcharacteristics of AM polymer parts is challenging due to limited available data. READ MORE

  4. 3. FE Simulation of protective insulation of catalysts in exhaust after-treatment systems of trucks and buses : Investigation and characterization of catalytic converter support mat material for accurate modeling in finite element simulations

    University essay from

    Author : Manroop Bhattasali; [2022]
    Keywords : Catalytic converter; packaging mats; support mats; compression; friction; hyperelastic; hyperfoam; viscoelastic; canning; finite element;

    Abstract : The increase of new and ever more stringent emission legislation has brought about with it a surge in the demand for more sustainable automotive solutions. This has particularly been the case for automobiles, including heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses, with internal combustion engines, which now require the design and manufacturing of more durable and reliable components.

  5. 4. Micromechanical modelling of creep in wooden materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Oskar Falkeström; Kevin Coleman; Malin Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Creep; RVE; Homogenization; Honeycomb; Tracheid; Comsol Multiphysics; Micromechanical modelling; Orthotropic; Parametric study; S2 material; Norwegian Spruce; Scots Pine; Cell geometry;

    Abstract : Wood is a complex organic orthotropic viscoelastic material with acellular structure. When stressed, wood will deform over timethrough a process called creep. Creep affects all wooden structureand can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive to measure. For this thesis, a simple computer model of the woodenmicrostructure was developed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Subject-specific image analysis and computational modelling of the human Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Johanna Panzar; Erika Thörn; [2021]
    Keywords : image analysis; Achilles tendon; FE model; biomechanics; CT image; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Achilles tendon rupture is becoming more prevalent with an increasing population of middle aged people participating in recreational sports. A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. READ MORE
