  1. 21. Experimental analysis of limitations in the strut-and-tie method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Mikael Wahlgren; Niels Bailleul; [2016]
    Keywords : Strut-and-Tie method; Reinforced concrete; Concrete Damaged Plasticity; Fracture energy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One of the overall main purposes for a structural engineer is to design structures and structural elements so that they meet society’s safety requirements, yet use as little material as possible. In order to do so, the designer has to understand and simplify a complex reality. READ MORE

  3. 22. Magmatic Sheet Intrusions as Seen in Surface Deformation - Developing a Tool for Interpreting Volcanic Unrest

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Frank Guldstrand; [2015]
    Keywords : Analogue modelling; surface deformation; cone sheets; dykes; moiré; photogrammetry; sheet intrusions; propagation; Analog modellering; ytdeformation; inverterade koner; vertikala plan; moiré; fotogrammetri; magmatiska intrusioner; propagering;

    Abstract : The end-member types of shallow magmatic intrusions comprise cone sheets and dykes. These propagate from their source magma chamber towards the Earth’s surface. The propagation of magma within the shallow part of the volcano plumbing system produces surface deformation and seismicity, signs of volcanic unrest. READ MORE

  4. 23. Thin metal patch to FRP propeller: Experimental testing of bonding systems

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Mårten Kreiss Amberg; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : To enable the use of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) propellers for merchant vessels, the problem of cavitation must be solved. The matrix of the FRP is generally brittle and more sensitive to cavitation erosion than the more conventional metal propeller blades. Nakashima Propeller Co. READ MORE

  5. 24. Small-Scale Shear Zones and Deformation in Migmatite on Mt. Åreskutan

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Gottlander; [2015]
    Keywords : Shear zone; migmatite; Åreskutan; deformation; garnet;

    Abstract : The Åreskutan nappe complex consists of the partly molten rock migmatite, which originates from the subduction formed by the collision of continents Baltica and Laurentia. It is a so-called hot nappe, which has been deeply buried in the subduction zone, based on findings of high-pressure minerals in the migmatitic gneiss. READ MORE

  6. 25. Effect of texture and blasting pressure on residual stress and surface modifications in wet sand blasted α-Al2O3 coating

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Erik Ekström; [2015]
    Keywords : XRD; residual stress; alumina; Al2O3; blasting; annealing; activation energy;

    Abstract : Recently, wet sand blasting on coated cutting tool inserts has drawn interest to the tooling industry due to its positive effects on cutting performance and tool life. This performance boost has partly been attributed to the buildup of compressive residual stresses in the coating during the blasting process. READ MORE
