  1. 11. FE-Modelling of a Joint for Cross-Laminated Timber

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

    Author : Linus Ekhagen; [2021]
    Keywords : cross-laminated timber; fe-modelling; continuum damage mechanics; fracture; korslimmat trä; fe modellering; skademekanik; brott;

    Abstract : Woodbe Engineering AB is a freshly started company that has developed a new type of joint for cross-laminated timber (CLT). The joint does not include any metallic fasteners, which improves sustainability, the ergonomics for the workers and time efficiency. READ MORE

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. Numerical analysis of paperboard delamination using cohesive elements

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Markus Johansson-Näslund; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A new test method for measuring the shear strength associated with mode III delamination of paperboard is studied with the purpose of reducing the size of the test configuration. The method, which uses a split cantilever beam (SCB) specimen, measures the shear strength indirectly through the fracture resistance. READ MORE

  5. 14. An Investigation of Bent-Beam Stress-Corrosion Test for Titanium Alloys

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

    Author : Daniel León Zapata; [2019]
    Keywords : Hot-salt; Stress-Corrosion Cracking; Titanium Alloy; Hydrogen Embrittlement; Brittle Fracture;

    Abstract : Titanium alloys are highly resistant to all types of corrosion due to their excellent ability to form an oxide film on the surface. However, under certain circumstances, these alloys may experience an environmental degradation which could potentially, under the application of mechanical stress, lead to a complete failure of the material.

  6. 15. Interaction between weld residualstresses and warm pre-stressing

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Elaheh Etemadi; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cleavage fracture is a catastrophic phenomenon as it is a sudden structural collapse occurring to structures made of insufficiently ductile steels working at lower temperatures. In this study, the focus is on the material used in reactor pressure vessels (RPV) in nuclear power plants. READ MORE
