  1. 16. Infuence of the modelling of truss joints made of hollow tube sections in finite element models

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Mattheüs Lucassen; [2019]
    Keywords : Truss joints; Circular Hollow Sections CHS ; Fatigue; Finite Element Modelling FEM ; Crane; Boom section; Local joint exibility LJF ; Stress concentration factors SCF ; Fackverksled; Cirkulära ihåliga proler; Utmattning; Finita Elementmetoden FEM ; Kran; Kranarmsektion; Lokal ledexibilitet; Spänningskoncentrationsfaktorer.;

    Abstract : Several boom segments form the crane boom. These segments are often truss structures formed out of circular hollow sections, which are welded together forming the truss joints. A adequate modelling of these truss joints is very important for operational strength and life. READ MORE

  3. 17. 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

  4. 18. Validation of blast simulation models via drop-tower tests

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Joakim Rydman; [2018]
    Keywords : Screw; bolt; screw joint; bolted connection; simulation; model; FEM; FEA; finite element; LS-DYNA; drop-tower tests; validation;

    Abstract : This study aims to validate a screw joint simulation model used by BAE Systems in LS-DYNA during blast simulations. It is important that the screw joint simulation model is physically correct, since the simulation results can influence major design decisions. READ MORE

  5. 19. Spacecraft dynamic analysis and correlation with test results : Shock environment analysis of LISA Pathfinder at VESTA test bed

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Beata Iwona Kunicka; [2017]
    Keywords : FEA FEM; finite element analysis; finite element method; mechanical analysis; structural analysis; dynamic analysis; computational dynamic analysis of structures; shock analysis; shock environment; shock test; shock test campaign; spacecraft dynamic analysis; MSC Nastran; MSC Patran; Dynaworks; Shock Response Spectrum; SRS; space engineering; space science and technology; mechanical engineering; structural engineering; analysis optimisation; analysis parametrisation; mechanical wave propagation; shock propagation; damping; hysteretic damping; viscous damping; structural damping;

    Abstract : The particular study case in this thesis is the shock test performed on the LISA Pathfinder satellite conducted in a laboratory environment on a dedicated test bed: Vega Shock Test Apparatus (VESTA). This test is considered fully representative to study shock levels produced by fairing jettisoning event at Vega Launcher Vehicle, which induces high shock loads towards the satellite. READ MORE

  6. 20. Finite Element and Dynamic Stiffness Analysis of Concrete Beam-Plate Junctions

    University essay from KTH/MWL Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet

    Author : Patrik Andersson; [2016]
    Keywords : Train-induced; vibrations; building; Finite Element Method; FEM; Dynamic Stiffness;

    Abstract : Measurements and predictions of railway-induced vibrations are becoming a necessity in today’s society where land scarcity causes buildings to be put close to railway traffic. The short distances mean an increased risk of the indoor vibration and noise disturbances experienced by residents. READ MORE
