  1. 6. Constructing a SDG 7 Composite Index: A study on the Sustainability Performance of Ghana’s Energy System

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Sofia Flising; [2023]
    Keywords : Social Sciences;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine sustainability trends in Ghana’s energy system. This is done through the construction of a composite index, which is suggested as a more proper way to measure progress towards achieving Sustainable Developing Goal 7. READ MORE

  3. 7. A Feasibility Analysis of Natural Composite Alternatives in High Performance Sailing Vessels

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Sabrina Smith; [2023]
    Keywords : F50 catamaran; sustainable materials; marine applications; flax laminates; mechanical testing; environmental analysis; weight distribution; yacht performance;

    Abstract : The construction of high-performance vessels like the F50 catamaran has traditionally prioritized advanced composite materials and performance-driven design. However, there is a growing need to incorporate sustainable materials and practices, with their performance in marine applications remaining relatively unknown. READ MORE

  4. 8. Experimental and computational analysis of the thermal degradation and the loss of strength of engineered wood-based panels

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Wickramasooriyage Devmini Kularatne; [2022]
    Keywords : Oriented strand board; thermal decomposition; mechanical degradation; heat transfer modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. READ MORE

  5. 9. Utilisation of hardwood in cross-laminated timber - A numerical study on vibrations in floors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Johannes Jonasson; Olle Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : hardwood; birch; beech; clt; cross-laminated timber; vibrations; floors; footfall; accelerations; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. READ MORE

  6. 10. Adhesive bonding of fiber laminate patch to sandwich-structured composite

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Materialteknik

    Author : Daniel Nesic; [2022]
    Keywords : Adhesive bonding; Shipbuilding; Composite construction; Finite element method in structural mechanics; Fiber reinforced plastics; Optical microscopy analysis; Fractography; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : By using composites when constructing vehicles, lighter weight and thus better performance can be achieved. Composites are widely used in airplanes and small boats, but has yet to be incorporated in larger ships such as freighters and cruise ships. The main hindrance for its use is the lack of practical knowledge and experience. READ MORE
