1. 1. Approximating Damping Coefficient of Bolted Joints using the Finite Element Method

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

   Author : Abhiroop Chatterjee; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Bolted joints are important due to their energy dissipation property in structures,but the damping mechanism is also highly nonlinear and localized. The goal ofthis thesis is to develop an accurate method for modeling bolted joint dampingin large structures using finite element (FE) software. READ MORE

3. 2. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Musaab Mahjoub; [2021]
   Keywords : Timber joints; Slotted-in steel plate connections; Python scripting; FEM; Abaqus.;

   Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE

4. 3. Stability analysis and modelling of a structure with corrugated roof

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

   Author : Nikola Tosovic; [2020]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Corrugated galvanized iron (CGI), or corrugated sheet metal, is a lightweight roofing material that was invented in the early 1800s. The corrugation gives the steel an increased flexural strength in its installed direction and thus increases the amount of load the CGI-plate is able to carry and the span it can be effective at.

5. 4. Study of pitch bearings in wind turbines : a model based approach

   University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

   Author : Abhijith Sriram; [2018]
   Keywords : Contact simulation; Slewing Bearing; Pitch Bearing; Load distribution; Kontaktsimulering; Pitchlager; Lastfördelning;

   Abstract : Dagens samhälle går mot en livsstil som präglas av möjligheter att göra allt fler hållbara val. För att minska koldioxidavtrycket krävs en fortsatt stabil omställning till förnyelsebara energikällor, i vilken vindkraften har en betydande roll. READ MORE

6. 5. The Business Model for Sustainability from a System Dynamics Perspective

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Julian Haack; Florian Mainz; [2017]
   Keywords : Business Model for Sustainability; System Dynamics; Value Configuration; Partner Network; Capabilities; Infrastructure Management; Sustainability; Strategic Management; Business Models; Construction Industry; Architecture Industry; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Title: System Dynamics Perspective on the Business Model for Sustainability: A Multiple Case Study in the Architecture Industry Purpose: The primary purpose of the study is to explain how the system dynamics between the Value Configuration, Partner Network, and Capabilities work in a Business Model for Sustainability of small and large architecture firms. Methodology: We followed an abductive, qualitative research strategy with a multiple case study of ten participating firms. READ MORE
