  1. 1. Incorporating Flax Fiber Composites in Hypercar Panels

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Hanna Öster; Sara Isorena Guðjónsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : sound transmission loss; coincidence frequency; sound pressure level; flax fibre; carbon fibre; ljudtransmission; koincidensfrekvens; ljudtrycksnivå; linfiber; kolfiber;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates sound transmission loss through flat finite panels using composite materials, which incorporate both carbon and flax fibres. The study wascarried out by performing FEM simulations developed and validated in steps. Thevalidation process was time-consuming but crucial in ensuring the model’s reliability. READ MORE

  3. 2. A Feasibility Analysis of Natural Composite Alternatives in High Performance Sailing Vessels

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Sabrina Smith; [2023]
    Keywords : F50 catamaran; sustainable materials; marine applications; flax laminates; mechanical testing; environmental analysis; weight distribution; yacht performance;

    Abstract : The construction of high-performance vessels like the F50 catamaran has traditionally prioritized advanced composite materials and performance-driven design. However, there is a growing need to incorporate sustainable materials and practices, with their performance in marine applications remaining relatively unknown. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hur påverkar en skalbaggsås och typ av gröda naturliga fiender och deras predation på bladlöss och ogräsfrön?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Lisa Carlstrand; [2022]
    Keywords : skalbaggsås; jordlöpare; Carabidae; kortvingar; Staphylinidae; spindlar; Araneae; marklevande predatorer; naturliga fiender; bevarande biologisk bekämpning;

    Abstract : Den intensifiering av jordbruket som pågått under de senaste decennierna har lett till en förlust av biodiversitet i jordbrukslandskapet, bland annat till följd av att andelen naturliga habitat minskar. En förlust av biodiversitet innebär också en förlust av de ekosystemtjänster vi kan få från olika nyttodjur, såsom naturlig biologisk bekämpning, pollinering och ogräsfröpredation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Production Process for Tunnel Modeling : An Analysis of Composites for Water Applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

    Author : Melody Ghaderidosst; Vilma Hurtigh Grabe; Rebecka Norman; Adam Rosvall; Evelina Wiksten; [2021]
    Keywords : Tunnel Modeling; Water Applications; Composites; Natural Fibers; Polymers;

    Abstract : Hydroelectric power is a leading source of renewable energy where large turbines convert the kinetic energy of water into electricity. In order to not exceed the capacity limit of the turbine, excess water in the dams needs to be diverted away through spillways. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fertile Wear : Underwear in relation to manufacturing toxicity, the ecosphere and our reproductive zones

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för design (DE)
