  1. 1. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
    Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

    Abstract : The importance of using natural fiber composites (NFCs) has been addressed as a substitution for synthetic fibers, such as glass and carbon fibers. This substitution contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the environmental responsibilities of engineering industries. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Adhesive bonding of fiber laminate patch to sandwich-structured composite

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Materialteknik

    Author : Daniel Nesic; [2022]
    Keywords : Adhesive bonding; Shipbuilding; Composite construction; Finite element method in structural mechanics; Fiber reinforced plastics; Optical microscopy analysis; Fractography; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : By using composites when constructing vehicles, lighter weight and thus better performance can be achieved. Composites are widely used in airplanes and small boats, but has yet to be incorporated in larger ships such as freighters and cruise ships. The main hindrance for its use is the lack of practical knowledge and experience. READ MORE

  5. 4. Micro- / Meso- Scale Dielectric Strength Testing of Fibre Composites

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Johannes Fernberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Dielectric strength; composite; GFRP; glassfibre; composite microstructure; FEA; electric breakdown; single fibre;

    Abstract : Glass fibre composites are common materials used in high voltage applications as insulating materials that provide good structural integrity. The aim of this thesis is to develop a method of studying the failure in such materials by measuring the dielectric strength on micro- and meso- scale samples, consisting of single fibre filaments and fibre bundles respectively embedded in epoxy resin.

  6. 5. 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
