  1. 1. A Structural Analysis of the Fracture Sets in Gothenburg, Sweden: A Remote Sensing and Manual Lineament Approach

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jacek Krysik; [2023-05-22]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; Manual lineament analysis; Fractal analysis; Structural; Regional geology; LiDAR; Gothenburg region;

    Abstract : The fracture-valley landscape within the Gothenburg region was analysed based on LiDAR-derived hillshade images as well as several sources of orthomosaics. Using a manual lineament interpretation approach and complimented with an objective fractal analysis software (FROST), the objective of the study was to characterise the regional fracture sets as well as attempt to link the sets to the complex regional geological history.

  3. 2. Impact of Residual Stress on the Warm Pre-Stressing Effect

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Emil Danielsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Warm Pre-Stressing effect; Residual stress; Cleavage fracture; Ferritic Steel; Fracture mechanics; Varm förspänning; Restspänningar; Klyvbrott; Brottmekanik; Ferritiskt stål;

    Abstract : Irradiation of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) causes a shift of the ductile to brittle transition region towards higher temperature regions. In the event of a pressurized thermal shock (PTS), where the temperature drops drastically, the ductile to brittle transition region might be entered for irradiated ferritic steel. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Effect of Proton Irradiation on the Mechanical Properties of Fe-10Cr-4Al in Liquid Lead

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Gabriela Lapinska; [2023]
    Keywords : Fe-10Cr-4Al; Lead; Radiation Damage; Slow Strain Rate Testing; Fe-10Cr-4Al; bly; strålskador; Slow Strain Rate Testing;

    Abstract : Among the structural materials under consideration for future lead-cooled fastreactors, special attention is paid to ferritic Fe-10Cr-4Al due to its superior corrosionand erosion protective properties, as well as its insensitivity to liquid metalembrittlement in liquid lead. This thesis gives an inside look into the radiation damageproperties of the alloy and the possible embrittlement scenarios. READ MORE

  6. 5. Simulations of experimental crack development in ceramic material with notched specimen

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Clas Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; Fracture mechanics; Ceramics; Dynamics; Ballistics; Hållfasthetslära; Brottmekanik; Keramer; Dynamik; Ballistik;

    Abstract : Low-density armour often uses ceramic materials, as their high compressive strength and relatively low weight make the material ideal for moving in the field. The ballistic protection works by redirecting the plastic flow of the projectile radially, which reduces penetration. READ MORE
