  1. 1. Evaluation of a computational method for natural fiber-reinforced plastics

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Anna Lim; [2023]
    Keywords : PPNF; Composite material; fiber orientation; natural fiber; coupled analysis; PPNF; Kompositmaterial; fiberorientering; naturfiber; kopplad analys;

    Abstract : The importance of using natural fiber composites (NFCs) has been addressed as a substitution for synthetic fibers, such as glass and carbon fibers. This substitution contributes significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the environmental responsibilities of engineering industries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tribology of Polymer Composite with Low Load Application for Automotive Industries

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Martin Asuquo; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent times, there has been an increased interest in replacing conventional metals and synthetic fiber composites in various automobile parts with natural fiber polymer composites. These natural fiber composites offer benefits over conventional materials in terms of reduction in weight, lower cost, comparable high specific properties such as specific stiffness and strength, low abrasion property, and availability of these materials.

  4. 3. Adhesive bonding of fiber laminate patch to sandwich-structured composite

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Materialteknik

    Author : Daniel Nesic; [2022]
    Keywords : Adhesive bonding; Shipbuilding; Composite construction; Finite element method in structural mechanics; Fiber reinforced plastics; Optical microscopy analysis; Fractography; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : By using composites when constructing vehicles, lighter weight and thus better performance can be achieved. Composites are widely used in airplanes and small boats, but has yet to be incorporated in larger ships such as freighters and cruise ships. The main hindrance for its use is the lack of practical knowledge and experience. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mineral wool : From landfill to a sustaianble polymer composite

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)
