  1. 6. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Jonatan Ringaby; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE

  2. 7. Evaluation of the mechanical properties of structural adhesives cured under different environmental conditions

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Sebastian Wilhelmsson; Joel Ågren; [2021]
    Keywords : structural adhesive; methyl methacrylate; curing; temperature; water; tensile testing; DSC;

    Abstract : Today, structural adhesives are found extensively in load-bearing engineering applications, as their use can be advantageous compared to other fastening methods. However, the characteristics of adhesives are far more complex, making it challenging to predict their behavior in different service conditions. READ MORE

  3. 8. Material Properties of Adhesive Joint

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Shuyue Wang; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The development of the commercial 5G network with high-frequency mmWave requires tighter base station grid, which increases the demand for smaller and more unobtrusive products. One way to connect materials of different properties and keeping the product size small is to use adhesive joints instead of screw joints. READ MORE

  4. 9. Adhesive modelling in multi-material structures : Evaluating the strength and fatigue life of adhesive joints

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Nitin Narayanaswamy; [2020]
    Keywords : Adhesive Joints Strength Calculation J Integral Method Energy Release Rate Theory Crack Finite Element Analysis Multi Material Structures Automotive;

    Abstract : Advancements in material science and manufacturing techniques are enabling the use of lightweight metal alloys and polymer composites in several combinations and shapes for producing more efficient and lightweight structures for automotive applications without compromising strength, stiffness and/or durability. When evaluating the strength of the structure, the joints are of importance. READ MORE

  5. 10. Numerical Assessment of Defects Effect on Boltless Composites Longitudinal Joints

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Mara Santaniello; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis focuses on the numerical assessment of defects effect on potential boltless design for fuselage panels longitudinal joints, typically identified as High Load Transfer (HLT) configuration. Nowadays, the state-of-art joining technique for primary aircraft composite structures, such as fuselage barrels, is still mechanical fastening. READ MORE
