  1. 1. Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges : Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Charlotte Jaeger; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study focuses on exploring a novel timber-to-timber joint using a steel hinge connection (in this work also referred to as door-hinge joint) for pedestrian timber bridges. To conduct the cross-section design of the structural bridge members, a numerical model was developed to determine the internal forces. READ MORE

  3. 2. 3D Knit fabrics : optimizing spacer knit fabrics for comfort and breathability in infant products

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Julia Svensson; Hanna Halldorf; [2023]
    Keywords : Spacer fabric; knitting; warp knit; circular knit; textile testing; ProCad Warpknit; infant product; comfort; mechanical properties.;

    Abstract : In this study we looked into an existing textile baby stroller seat and investigated whether there can be any advantage in changing the material to a spacer fabric from perspectives such as functionality, comfort, and sustainability. The subject of 3D knitting, and advanced knitting is being researched more and more because of its versatility in producing and changing parameters of knitted high quality products, but there is a lack of studies done on comfort for children when it comes to knitted spacer fabrics and not many studies have been done on spacer fabrics used for baby seats in strollers or other types of seats for children.

  4. 3. 4-Point Bending of Composite Laminates for FEM/FEA Validation

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Pierce Cashin; [2023]
    Keywords : composites; 4-point bending; fiberglass; sandwich panel;

    Abstract : When designing structures and vehicles using composite materials, engineers need access to critical information regarding the composite materials in question. This information describes the strength, stiffness, failure mode, and other variables that can be used to properly determine how a structure will perform while undergoing various loads and effects.

  5. 4. Synergistic fire- and mechanical effect of biochar and ammonium polyphosphate in epoxy composite

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Anton Olausson; Ludvig Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Ammonium polyphosphate; Biochar; Composite; Epoxy; Synergistic effect;

    Abstract : Polymer composites are used in a varying extent and are challenging the use of traditional materials due to the push towards sustainable development. They have replaced steels and aluminum alloys in applications. READ MORE

  6. 5. Experimental Testing of EPS-foam

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Carl Göransson; Erik Arnald; [2023]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; EPS; Experimental testing; Hållfasthetslära; EPS; Experimentell testning;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the mechanical properties of ExpandedPolystyrene (EPS) through experimental testing. The strain was measured on thespecimen’s surface with Digital Image Correlation (DIC), in order to investigate howthe first principal strain at fracture initiation depends on the loading of the material.
