  1. 16. Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Side Near Surface Mounted FRP : A parametric study based on finite element analysis

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

    Author : Rewan Eredini; [2016]
    Keywords : Side near surface mounted reinforcement; Bottom near surface mounted reinforcement; Parametric study; FEM-analysis; Atena; Carbon fiber reinforced polymer;

    Abstract : Most of the today’s concrete structures are older than tenyears, and the need to strengthening existing structures is growing steadily. This is due to various reasons such as degradation due to ageing, environmentally induced degradation, poor initial design or construction and lack of maintenance, to name a few. READ MORE

  3. 17. Thin metal patch to FRP propeller: Experimental testing of bonding systems

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Mårten Kreiss Amberg; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : To enable the use of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) propellers for merchant vessels, the problem of cavitation must be solved. The matrix of the FRP is generally brittle and more sensitive to cavitation erosion than the more conventional metal propeller blades. Nakashima Propeller Co. READ MORE

  4. 18. The Impact of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Constructions on Risk Level onboard Large Passenger Ships

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Anders Lynner; Josip Novacic; [2015]
    Keywords : Lightweight materials; fiber-reinforced polymer; FRP; fire safety; evacuation; ship; fire dynamics simulator; FDS; critical conditions; corridor; cabin; risk; Lättviktsmaterial; brandsäkerhet; utrymning; fartyg; kritiska förhållanden; korridor; kabin; risk.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The main objective of this project was to determine how a FRP composite structure performs compared to a steel structure in regard to fire safety and risk level during an evacuation. More specifically the objective was to study how the differences in the thermal properties influence the smoke layer height, visibility and the temperature of the gases in the early stages of a fire.

  5. 19. Modeling the effect of the use of fiber reinforced plastics on the evacuation of a ro-pax passenger deck

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Andres Rodriguez Panagiotopoulos; [2014]
    Keywords : Fire safety; Fiber reinforced plastics; ship; FDS EVAC; evacuation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modern ship design and construction is striving to make sea transportation more fuel efficient and more environmentally friendly. One of the possible solutions is to make the ships lighter by reducing the weight of the superstructure, constructing it completely or partially with lightweight materials such as Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), like glass fiber composites or carbon fiber composites.

  6. 20. Modeling the evolution of wildfire : an analysis of short term wildfire events and their relationship to meteorological variables

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Sean Demet; [2014]
    Keywords : evolution of wildfire; fire; wildfire; fire radiative power; Ecosystem Analysis; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Sciences; Physical Geography; linear regression modeling; Bayesian Information Criteria; Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Wildfire events are expected to increase with the changing climate; thereby increasing atmospheric, economic, and anthropogenic impacts. Gaining a real-time understanding of the evolution of wildfire events can benefit regional meteorology models, global atmospheric models, and hazard warning systems. READ MORE
