  1. 16. Optimization of hot strip drawing test methodology for hot forming of aluminium alloys

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

    Author : Rabia Arshad; [2022]
    Keywords : Hot forming of aluminium; friction; high temperature lubrication; strip draw; wear.;

    Abstract : The development of lightweight design for automotive applications has lasted for many years and is still increasing. Vehicles with light structures use less fuel, emit less CO2, and are better for the environment. READ MORE

  3. 17. Fibre volume fractions’ and printing directions’ effects on tribological and mechanical properties in FDM printed carbon fibre reinforced PEEK : Suitability assessment of FDM printed PEEK-CF to act in a steam engine’s ball joint, by analysis of compressive properties, impact strength, friction and wear

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : William Tönnberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Ranotor; steam engine; PEEK; polyether-ether-ketone; carbon fibre reinforced PEEK; impact strength; compressive strength; compressive modulus; friction; wear; tribology; FFF; FDM; 3D-printing; printing parameters;

    Abstract : The purpose with this study was to investigate FDM/FFF manufactured carbon fibre reinforced PEEK and assess its suitability to act as a sealing- and bearing material in a modern steam engine’s ball joint. The steam engine is totally free from oil due to the risk of water- and steam contamination. READ MORE

  4. 18. Effect of climate exposure on mechanical performance of uncured ahdesive joints

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

    Author : Rosa Sala Piñol; [2022]
    Keywords : Adhesives; uncured; adhesive joints; automotive; epoxy;

    Abstract : Adhesive bonding has become an essential joining method in the automotive industry specially with the recent focus on lightweight reduction. A major limiting factor to the widespread implementation of this joining method is concerns about environmental durability. READ MORE

  5. 19. Investigation of Methods to Improve PZT Sol-Gel Deposition Process for Energy Harvesting Applications

    University essay from KTH/Hälsoinformatik och logistik

    Author : Mikael Granberg; [2022]
    Keywords : PZT; sol-gel; self-polarization; seed layer; titanium oxidation; PZT; sol-gel; självpolarisering; seedlager; titanoxidering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this work was to investigate ways to modify Silex sol-gel deposition of PZT (PbZrxTi(1-x)O3, Lead Zirconate Titanate) in order to improve its properties for energy harvesting applications. A number of methods to improve the figure of merit for energy harvesting (FOM= e312/ε), cause self-polarization, increase lifetime, reduce cost, increase throughput or simplify processing were tested.

  6. 20. Method development for the use of Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations for vehicle soiling analysis

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Josep Plana Riu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An increasing amount of sensors is being placed in cars in order to monitor their vicinities, which performance is highly dependant on the driving conditions, in which weather has a big role, and thus water contamination is a topic that will increase its importance in the future of the car industry. One of these sources of contamination is self-soiling: how cars get dirty because of their own tires. READ MORE
