  1. 1. Fracture simulation with a hyperelastic phase field model

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Adrien Fradet; [2023]
    Keywords : Fracture; Phase field modeling; Hyperelasticity; Brott; fasfält-methoden; hyperelasticite;

    Abstract : The phase field method is a versatile tool to study crack initiation and propagation in systems with complex geometries. Based on a variational formulation of the equilibrium equations, the sharp crack topology is regularized by a crack with diffusive edges and the damage is described by a continuous phase field variable.

  2. 2. Influence from temperature variations in stacking fault energy on the mechanical properties of stainless steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Hallén; Marcus Johansson Storne; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of austenitic stainless steels and how they relate to the material property of stacking fault energy (SFE) and its relation to temperature and nickel content. Austenitic stainless steels are commonly used and well known for good mechanical properties and deformation characteristics. READ MORE

  3. 3. Life extension of welded steel details in bridges

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

    Author : Zhelei Jin; [2023]
    Keywords : Welded joints; Fatigue; Pre-fatigue; Life extension; Fracture mechanics; Finite element analysis; HFMI; ; Svetsade fogar; utmattning; förutmattning; livsförlängning; frakturmekanik; finit elementanalys; HFMI; ;

    Abstract : High-Frequency Mechanical Impacts (HFMI) is a surface treatment technique utilized to introduce residual stresses and extend the service life of structures. This project primarily focuses on studying the life extension effects of HFMI on welded structures that have undergone fatigue and have existing cracks. READ MORE

  4. 4. The Influence of Roughness on Electrical Properties of Single Rock Fractures

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Yu Hou; [2023]
    Keywords : Single fracture; Roughness; Current; Electrical properties; Relative standard deviation; Numerical simulations; Enkelfraktur; Grovhet; Ström; Elektriska egenskaper; Relativ standardavvikelse; Numeriska simuleringar;

    Abstract : To investigate the relationship between the structural characteristics of rough single fracturesand the electrical properties of the rock. In this study, a series of physical models of roughand smooth single fractures were established using the finite element method and Ohm's lawto test the electrical conductivity. READ MORE

  5. 5. Irradiation Embrittlement on a Core Shroud from Decommissioned BWR

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Åsa Bjåland; [2023]
    Keywords : hardness; Vickers hardness test; ATT; yield strength; irradiation embrittlement; welds; hårdhet; Vickers hårdhetstest; ATT; sträckgräns; bestrålningsförsprödning; svetsar;

    Abstract : Irradiation embrittlement is a problematic issue for internal structures, such as acore shroud, in a light water reactor. It is characterized by decreased ductility andtoughness, and increased yield strength and hardening due to increased dislocations. READ MORE
