  1. 1. Performance of reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers : Case study: Essinge Bridge over Pampaslänken

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad; KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Zeinab Mirzahassanagha; Eva Malo; [2021]
    Keywords : CFRP; External Strengthening Method; RC Bridges; Curved Substrate; Finite Element Modelling; Kolfiberväv; Extern Förstärkningsmetod; Betongarmerade broar; Konkav yta; Finita Elementa Modellering;

    Abstract : This master thesis deals with the performance of existing reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP). One of the main aims of this work is to understand the functionality of such an external strengthening method applied to a concave surface in a heavy concrete structure such as a bridge. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effect of Induction-Heat Post-Curing on Residual Stresses in Fast-Curing Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites

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

    Author : Mercedes Amelia Bettelli; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon Fibres Reinforced Polymer Composite; epoxy resins; cure behaviour; residual stress and shape distortions;

    Abstract : Manufacturing induced shape distortions is a common problem for composite materials. Due to the non-isotropic nature of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) unavoidable deformations occur during part production. During fabrication of polymer composites, the material obtains its final shape at elevated temperatures. READ MORE

  4. 3. Simulation and Modelling of Injection Molded Components : Fiber Reinforced Polymers in Powertrain Mounts

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Hanna Jakobsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Material modelling; polymer composites; FRP; orthotropic; powertrain mount; vehicle engineering; Digimat; Material modellering; polymera kompositer; ortotropisk; motorupphängnig; Digimat;

    Abstract : Powertrain mounts' purpose is to mount the engine and the gearbox in the car. Besides that, it isolate the body from the powertrain movements and road excitation. The most common material in powertrain mounts bracket is aluminum but lately, fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) has been acting as a substitute for the aluminum. READ MORE

  5. 4. Extraction and Quantification of Features in XCT Datasets of Fibre Reinforced Polymers using Machine Learning Techniques

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Miroslav Ivanov Yosifov; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master’s thesis shows the extraction, quantification and visual analysis of pores and individual fibres in fibre reinforced polymer (FRP)materials. The core methods used and advanced for this purpose are tailored deep learning techniques, which are coupled with interactive visualisation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design and Evaluatoin of a Carbon Fibre Bus Body

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

    Author : David Nordin; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The automotive industry is in constant development and in recent years the environmental legislations have been getting tougher. The need for lighter and stronger materials has increased according to these changes and composite materials such as carbon fibre reinforced polymers is showing potential of being a solution due to their high specific properties.
