1. 11. Design and Analysis of a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Structural Chassis Component for a EU Long Distance Truck

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

   Author : Wiktor Edfeldt; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : A Scania S-series front chassis module feasibility study is carried out to investigate the potential gains and losses by changing to a composite material system. The existing front chassis module comprises multiple steel, sheet metal and plastic components. The design space is fixed by the location of adjacent components in the current design. READ MORE

3. 12. Early assessment of composite structures : Framework to analyse the potential of fibre reinforced composites in a structure subjected to multiple load case

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner; KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)

   Author : Srikanth Ananthasubramanian; Priyank Gupta; [2018]
   Keywords : MATLAB; Fibre Reinforced Plastics; finite-element; laminate design; classical laminate theory.;

   Abstract : To meet the need of lightweight chassis in the near future, a technological step of introducing anisotropic materials like Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) in structural parts of cars is a possible way ahead. Though there are commercially available tools to find suitability of Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRPs) and their orientations, they depend on numerical optimization and complexity increases with the size of the model.

4. 13. Development of Dynamic Test Method and Optimisation of Hybrid Carbon Fibre B-pillar

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

   Author : Emil Johansson; Markus Lindmark; [2017]
   Keywords : Dynamic test method; B-pillar; Crash worthiness; Side impact crash test; IIHS; Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composite; Composite failure; CFRP; UD; 2x2 Twill; Delamination; Finite Element Method; LS-Dyna; Steel-composite interface; Bilinear fracture toughness;

   Abstract : The strive for lower fuel consumption and downsizing in the automotive industry has led to the use of alternative high performance materials, such as fibre composites. Designing chassis components with composite materials require accurate simulation models in order to capture the behaviour in car crashes. READ MORE

5. 14. Glass-fibre reinforcement on steel to timber connections. : A parametric study through FEM modelling on double-shear single-dowelled connections.

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Ramón Merlo García; [2017]
   Keywords : Timber connection; Glass-fibre reinforcement; Parametric study; Finite element analysis.;

   Abstract : In a context where timber is gaining popularity as a building material and glass-fibre reinforced composites (GFRC) are becoming more accessible in a wide variety of formats, it is considered appropriate to reconsider the combination of these two materials. Additionally, given the increasing use of laminated timber elements where stiffness and strength are better controlled, attention is drawn back to the connection between elements. READ MORE

6. 15. Topology Optimization of Bonnet-like Plate Using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics Subjected to Different Criteria

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

   Author : Sang-Won Lim; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The evolution of fiber composites has resulted in a new paradigm of material selection for automotive industries. In specific, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics (CFRTP) has shown its advantages in the feasibility of mass production as well as its high strength to weight ratio; allowing significant weight reduction compared to conventional steel largely in dominance today.
