1. 31. Modelling adhesion in packaging materials

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

   Author : Christian Holmqvist; Hanna Bruce; [2013]
   Keywords : FEM; finite element; abaqus; abaqus standard; simulate; adheison; cohesion; tetrapak; tetra pak; peel test; peeltest; packaging material; cohesive element; cohesive elements; adhesion test; LTH; byggnadsmekanik; byggmek; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The adhesive properties in packaging material have been simplified for a long time. As more advanced packages are developed the correct mechanical properties for the adhesive strength is needed to make packages cost efficient and reliable. READ MORE

3. 32. An Aeroelastic Implementation for YachtSails and Rigs

   University essay from KTH/Marina system

   Author : Aron Helmstad; Tomas Larsson; [2013]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : An aeroelastic model has been developed to determine the elastic response of sailing yachts’ rigs and sails due to the aerodynamic pressure induced on the sails by the wind. A vortex-lattice method (VLM) is used to determine the aerodynamic pressure. The structural response is calculated with a non-linear finite element method (FEM). READ MORE

4. 33. Nonlinear FEM load bearing capacity of a concrete bridge subjected to support settlements : Case of a continuous slab bridge with angled supports

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Daniel Hansson; [2013]
   Keywords : Nonlinear finite element method; concrete slab bridge; support settlements; load bearing capacity assessment; angled supports; Abaqus;

   Abstract : A nonlinear finite element analysis was performed for an existing road bridge in order to see if that could show a higher load bearing capacity, as an alternative to repairing or replacing. The regular linear analysis had shown that the bridge could not take any traffic load due to the effects from large and uneven support settlements. READ MORE

5. 34. Assessment of the applicability of XFEM in Abaqus for modeling crack growth in rubber.

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

   Author : Luigi Gigliotti; [2012]
   Keywords : Fracture Mechanics; eXtended Finite Element Method; Rubber-like materials; Abaqus;

   Abstract : The eXtended Finite Element Method is a partition of unity based method, particularly suitable for modelling crack propagation phenomena, without knowing a priori the crack path. Its numerical implementation is mostly achieved with stand-alone codes. READ MORE

6. 35. Analytical and Numerical Analysis of the Acoustics of Shallow Flow Reversal Chambers

   University essay from KTH/MWL Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet

   Author : Alireza Qazizadeh; [2012]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Flow reversal chambers are mainly used to accomplish a compact silencer design needed on a vehicle. Generally in this configuration the inlet and outlet ports are on the same face and the flow direction is reversed. READ MORE
