  1. 1. Analysis of a shape morphing structural battery: manufacturing, analytical modeling and numerical simulation

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

    Author : Alfredo Bici; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A reduction in the global use of fossil fuels is necessary when striving for a more sustainable future. One key strategy in the transition from fossil fuels is electrification. This strategy is particularly prominent within the transport sector, where more efficient ways to store electric energy are being pursued. READ MORE

  3. 2. Weight Optimization of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Blades constructed in Swedish Fossil Free Steel : With respect to fatigue life time

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Johannes Hall; Albin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : VAWT; Wind Turbine Blade; SSAB; Fossil-Free; Weight Optimization; Topology Optimization; Sizing Optimization; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure; VAWT; Vindturbinblad; SSAB; Fossilfritt; Viktoptimering; Topologioptimering; Size-Optimering; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure;

    Abstract : Wind turbines have been utilized for centuries to harness energy from the wind. Commercial wind turbine blades are typically made from composite materials, which are difficult to recycle, leading to blades ending up in landfills at the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, these materials contribute to microplastic pollution. READ MORE

  4. 3. Numerical analysis of a bearing strength in delaminated composite joint

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

    Author : Olavi Kukkonen; [2023]
    Keywords : Bearing strength; Single-lap shear; Delamination; Countersinking; Hole size;

    Abstract : Composite structures are commonly joined using adhesive or mechanical joints, withmechanical joints being preferred when components need to be removable for maintenancepurposes. However, the presence of mechanical joints introduces a discontinuity in theload path, which can serve as an initiation point for failure and needs to be taken intoaccount in the design of the joint.

  5. 4. 3D printing of ceramic composites with improved mechanical strength

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Liu Yuchen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractCeramic materials have a wide range of applications in many fields, but their fragility limits theiruse in high strength and high stress environments. Therefore, by combining ceramic materialswith reinforcing agents, their mechanical properties can be improved. READ MORE

  6. 5. Use of Pulse Thermography for Characterization of Defects in Polymer Composites

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

    Author : Kim Klöckner; [2023]
    Keywords : NDT; Pulse Thermography; polymer composites; boats manufacturing; end-of-life structures; defect characterization;

    Abstract : In this project, the possibility of using thermography as a non-destructive testing tool in the manufacturing process of boats and to assess the quality of end-of-life composite structures has been explored. To do so, a literature surview regarding the current applications of thermography and the techniques currently used for quality control in the boats industry has been conducted. READ MORE
