  1. 1. Finite Element Modeling of Installation Effects of Soil-Cement Columns

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

    Author : Anne Holtmeier; [2022]
    Keywords : Deep Mixing; Soil Stabilization; Installation; Finite Element Method; PLAXIS;

    Abstract : Since the 1970's deep mixing columns have been widely used all over the world to improve the performance of soft soil in regard to bearing capacity or deformation behaviour. They are installed by mixing a binding agent, e.g. cement, in situ with the soil. READ MORE

  3. 2. Influence of Foundation Modelling on the Seismic Response of a Concrete Dam

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Stella Harrison; Siri Nöjd; [2021]
    Keywords : concrete dam; earthquake; finite element analysis; free-field forces; mass foundation; betong dam; jordbävning; finita element analys; free-field forces; inkluderad bergsmassa;

    Abstract : It is of great importance to ensure the structural safety of dams during earthquakes since a failure may cause catastrophic consequences. Conventional computation of the structural response of dams is based on a simplified approach where the foundation is considered as massless. READ MORE

  4. 3. Time-Resolved Adaptive Finite Element Simulations for Building Aerodynamics : A proof of concept on minimal computational resources

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Linde van Beers; [2021]
    Keywords : Building aerodynamics; Computational fluid dynamics; Wind engineering; FEniCS; Adaptive mesh refinement; Atmospheric boundary layer; Direct finite element simulation; Byggnadsaerodynamik; Beräkningsströmningsdynamik; Vindteknik; FEniCS; Adaptiv nätförfining; Atmosfäriskt gränsskikt; Direkt finita elementsimulering;

    Abstract : The effect of building geometry on the wind environment of cities is such that it can cause problems like wind danger, discomfort and poor ventilation of airborne pollutants. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can play a role in assessing changes in wind environment caused by building projects before realisation at little cost. READ MORE

  5. 4. Extraction of tool reaction forces using LS-DYNA and its use in Autoform sheet metal forming simulation

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Esbjörn Zachén; [2019]
    Keywords : Sheet Metal Forming; Stamping Die; blank holder; Structural Analysis; Finite Element Simulation;

    Abstract : In product development there is still potential to decrease lead times with faster and more accurate simulations. The objective of this thesis was to study whether Finite Element (FE) simulations using explicit LS-DYNA to extract reaction forces from sheet metal forming tools during forming, could be used to improve existing FE models in sheet metal forming software AutoForm.

  6. 5. Finite element modelling of strained nanowire heterostructures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Alexander Grape Wyke; [2019]
    Keywords : Strain; nanowire; heterostructure; physics; nanophysics; COMSOL; simulation; lattice; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : When two materials with different lattice constants are grown together, this generates stress between them, and therefore strain. This strain causes them to have different thermal and electrical properties, and this is especially important on the nanoscale where changes have large impacts. READ MORE
