  1. 11. Early assessment of composite structures : Framework to analyse the potential of fibre reinforced composites in a structure subjected to multiple load case

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner; KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)

    Author : Srikanth Ananthasubramanian; Priyank Gupta; [2018]
    Keywords : MATLAB; Fibre Reinforced Plastics; finite-element; laminate design; classical laminate theory.;

    Abstract : To meet the need of lightweight chassis in the near future, a technological step of introducing anisotropic materials like Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) in structural parts of cars is a possible way ahead. Though there are commercially available tools to find suitability of Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRPs) and their orientations, they depend on numerical optimization and complexity increases with the size of the model.

  3. 12. Simulation of Delamination Migration in Laminated Composite Structures - An Approach Combining Extended Finite Elements and a Cohesive Zone Model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Viktor Björklund; [2018]
    Keywords : Crack propagation modeling; Fiber-reinforced polymer; Laminated composites; FRP; CFRP; Cohesive zone model; CZM; Delamination migration; FEM; XFEM; Fracture mechanics; Progressive damage modeling; Surface-based cohesive behaviour; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites are being used increasingly in lightweight applications where high strength and stiffness is required. One of the main challenges with designing components from such materials is to predict the ultimate strength and behaviour of the structure. READ MORE

  5. 14. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF TRUSS CONSTRUCTION FOR WIND TURBINE BLADES

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

    Author : Björn Weddig; [2016]
    Keywords : Wind turbine blade; FRP; Truss system; Instability; Buckling; Non-Linear; Eigenvalue problem; Frequency response analysis; Transient dynamic response; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The usage of wind turbines during the latest years has grown substantially and are becoming an increasingly important source of renewable energy, as many countries are trying to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. In order to increase the effect of the wind turbines the length of the blades has been increased, which has also led to an increase of the cross-section dimensions. READ MORE

  6. 15. Bengtsson_Magnusson_Durability of construction solutions with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) in pedestrian bridges

    University essay from Malmö högskola/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : David Bengtsson; Tommy Magnusson; [2016]
    Keywords : FRP; Friber-reinforced polymer; durability; environmental impact; weathering; composites; civil engineering;

    Abstract : Arbetet har genomförts i samarbete med Malmö Gatukontor med målet att samla in information om fiberförstärkta plastkompositer (fiber-reinforced polymer; FRP). FRP-kompositer kan vara ett intressant alternativ till konventionella byggnadsmaterial på grund av sina goda materialegenskaper. READ MORE
