1. 1. Hybrid bridge deck of timber and corrugated steel plates

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Muze Lu; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Over the years, hybrid structures composed of timber and steel have become a potential alternative to conventional solutions. Recently, corrugated steel plate (CSP) has become more and more popular in structures such as shear walls and roofs due to its favorable mechanical properties. READ MORE

3. 2. Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges : Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

   Author : Charlotte Jaeger; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This study focuses on exploring a novel timber-to-timber joint using a steel hinge connection (in this work also referred to as door-hinge joint) for pedestrian timber bridges. To conduct the cross-section design of the structural bridge members, a numerical model was developed to determine the internal forces. READ MORE

4. 3. 4-Point Bending of Composite Laminates for FEM/FEA Validation

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

   Author : Pierce Cashin; [2023]
   Keywords : composites; 4-point bending; fiberglass; sandwich panel;

   Abstract : When designing structures and vehicles using composite materials, engineers need access to critical information regarding the composite materials in question. This information describes the strength, stiffness, failure mode, and other variables that can be used to properly determine how a structure will perform while undergoing various loads and effects.

5. 4. Characterization of Kelvin Cell Cored Sandwich Structures with Analysis and Experiments

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

   Author : Sabahattin Bora Günay; [2023]
   Keywords : Kelvin Cell; Sandwich Structure; Space Structures; Three Point Bending Test; Structural Stiffness; Kelvin-cell; smörgåsstruktur; rymdstrukturer; trepunktsböjningstest; strukturell styvhet;

   Abstract : In order to satisfy the mechanical requirements for space structures, achieving lightweight designs is of the greatest significance. The primary focus of this study is the utilization of Kelvin cell core in the design of sandwich structures for space applications. READ MORE

6. 5. A parametric study of the static and dynamic performance of timber arch footbridges with different hanger configurations

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : ALEJANDRO GARCÍA GARCÍA; [2022]
   Keywords : Arch bridges; footbridge dynamics; critical load; bridge typology; parametric study;

   Abstract : The influence of the hanger configuration in the arch and deck bending moments under asymmetric loads is widely used nowadays for improved designs of arch bridges. In this work, by means of a parametric study, those hanger configurations that most efficiently increase both the natural frequencies and buckling factors are identified, simultaneously evaluating the dynamic and static performance of timber arch footbridges.
