  1. 16. Simulation driven design of timber bolster in fibre composite

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Marcus Ribbenstedt; Nick Salvati; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 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 ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Juan Antonio Cámara Vela; Juan Manuel Sánchez Molina; [2015]
    Keywords : kink band; carbon fibre; unidirectional fibre orientation; double cantilever beam;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 18. A Finite Model of Bi-Stable Woven Composite Tape-Springs

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Yoann Prigent; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 19. Analysis of Metal to Composite Adhesive Joins in Space Applications

    University essay from Mekanik

    Author : Fredrik Fors; [2010]
    Keywords : cohesive zone model; adhesives; composites; cryogenic;

    Abstract : 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
