  1. 1. Cable Shape Optimization - Drag Reduction of Cables Used in Marine Applications

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Simon Garpenquist; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind Tunnel Experiment; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Aerodynamic Forces; Drag Reduction; Shape Optimization; Flow around Cylinders; Yacht Racing;

    Abstract : It is important to understand the aerodynamic properties of tensioned cables (e.g. used in suspension bridges and yacht riggings), both for drag reduction and vibrational suppression purposes. READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards sustainable shipping: Recommendations for the telescopic mast design of a sailing cargo vessel

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Lukas Blau; [2021]
    Keywords : Oceanbird; telescopic mast; conceptual design; sailing cargo vessel;

    Abstract : A comparative study is carried out to investigate the most promising route towardsthe lightweight construction of a retractable mast for a sailing cargo vessel.Four design families are developed and compared. The primary criteria forjudgment are the structural mass, strength, and stiffness in relation to a providedbenchmark design. READ MORE

  4. 3. Redesign for Carbon Fiber : A feasibility study on composites in forestry harvesting heads

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktrealisering

    Author : Simon Karlsson; Isabella Marklund; [2021]
    Keywords : Redesign; Single Grip Harvesting Head; Forestry; Composite Design; CFRP;

    Abstract : Harvesting heads are an essential part of today’s forestry industry, enabling a high rate of tree felling from a single operator. Requirements for the forestry machine they are attached to are strongly linked to the weight of the harvesting head, providing an incentive to make the heads as light as possible. READ MORE

  5. 4. Fatigue Testing of a Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer : Investigation of damage development using Digital Image Correlation

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Lars Johan Wenner Berg; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is a material with high specific propertiesand good fatigue and vibration dampening characteristics, and can potentiallybe used instead of steel and aluminium in heavy duty vehicles. This work focuseson testing methodology and the fatigue properties of a unidirectional (UD)material in the 0° and 90°orientation, reproducing and validating the method developedby Wanner[1].

  6. 5. Conceptual design and construction of a UAV wing structure

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Selma Rahman; Anujan Ranganathan; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report presents the design of the wing structure for a UAV called Skywalker X8. A model of the UAV was given and analyzed to design a wing box structure that is twice the size of the current model, with "greener" technology and lightweight materials. READ MORE
