  1. 1. Quantification of Swelling in Sealing Materials

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

    Author : Johanna Möller; Paula Erlandsson; [2021]
    Keywords : elastomer; rubber; gaskets; NBR; EPDM; swelling; diffusion coefficient; polymer technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to quantify swelling in gasket materials to better predict the gaskets life span in heat exchangers. Alfa Laval produces plate heat exchangers, which are a common unit within the process industry. There are different types of plate heat exchangers, and one type is sealed with gaskets. READ MORE

  2. 2. Business model innovation for asphalt with rubber content : The road towards a circular economy and a sustainable society

    University essay from Karlstads universitet

  4. 4. MBS-modelling of a heavy truck : Modelling and model validation

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

    Author : Frida Kjellsdotter; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As a result of the accelerating demands for faster development within the heavy vehicle industry, computer aided simulations have become a more important tool in the development process. Simulations can offer faster evaluation of loads acting on the vehicle and more cost effective fatigue life predictions than physical testing, since physical prototypes are not needed for load measurements or fatigue tests.
