16. Simulation driven design of timber bolster in fibre composite
University essay from KTH/LättkonstruktionerAbstract : The primary objective of this thesis is to investigate a simulation and optimisation based methodology using fibre composite materials to lower the weight of timber bolsters. The timber bolsters secure the timber from falling off the truck during loading and transport. READ MORE

17. Design of a Double Cantilever Beam Test Specimen and Fixture for Kink Band Formation in Unidirectional Fibre Reinforced Composites.
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : Composite materials are widely used in demanding applications in aerospace and other industries. In order to understand the complex behaviour of the composite materials and their components, standardised test methods are used. One example is the double cantilever beam (DCB) test in which the test specimen is loaded in an opening, i.e. READ MORE

18. A Finite Model of Bi-Stable Woven Composite Tape-Springs
University essay from KTH/MekanikAbstract : The recent development of CubeSat nano-satellites shows that it is an effective way to send a payload onto orbit, as it is a relatively inexpensive and quick access to space. If the small size of these satellites is their main advantage, it is also the principal source of problems when it comes to designing it. READ MORE

19. Analysis of Metal to Composite Adhesive Joins in Space Applications
University essay from MekanikAbstract : Within the European space programme, a new upper stage engine (Vinci) for the Ariane 5 launcher is being developed, and the Volvo Aero Corporation (VAC) is contributing with tur-bines for the fuel turbopumps. This MSc thesis investigates the possibility of designing the Turbine Exhaust Duct (TED) of the Vinci-engine in a carbon fibre composite material with adhesively attached titanium flanges. READ MORE
