  1. 6. Simulations of experimental crack development in ceramic material with notched specimen

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Clas Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; Fracture mechanics; Ceramics; Dynamics; Ballistics; Hållfasthetslära; Brottmekanik; Keramer; Dynamik; Ballistik;

    Abstract : Low-density armour often uses ceramic materials, as their high compressive strength and relatively low weight make the material ideal for moving in the field. The ballistic protection works by redirecting the plastic flow of the projectile radially, which reduces penetration. READ MORE

  3. 7. Wind Energy in Greece : Economic Analysis

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Dimitrios Krystalidis; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an analysis is made of wind energy and specificallywind energy and how it is utilized both in Greece, in European Union andworldwide. Initially, the forms of wind energy sources, advantages anddisadvantages, and what exists in Greece and worldwide will be studied. READ MORE

  4. 8. Erosionens naturliga skydd : växtens egenskaper och inverkan på yterosionsbildning vid slänter

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Felix Dahlbäck; [2021]
    Keywords : erosion; ; yterosion; slänter; ingenjörsbiologi; water erosion; erosion control; vegetation coverage;

    Abstract : Vårt landskap utsätts hela tiden för förändringar, där både naturliga processer och mänsklig påverkan kan orsaka stora problem. Erosion är en naturlig process men kan påskyndas av människliga aktiviteter, markanvändning och klimatförändringar. READ MORE

  5. 9. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

  6. 10. Development of protecting coatings for composites in an aero-engine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Julien Mertz; [2021]
    Keywords : composites; coatings; aerospace; aero-engine; lightning strike; fire; erosion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials exhibit high specificstrength and stiffness therefore they can be a lightweight alternative to metalliccomponents for the front section of an aero-engine. Despite the benefit of CFRP composite materials for aero-engine applications, there arealso new challenges due to their inherent properties compared to conventionalaerospace metallic structures, such as a lower erosion resistance, poor thermalresistance, and poor electrical conductivity.
