  1. 1. Characterization methodology to assess the mechanical properties of delignified birch/PMMA transparent wood biocomposites

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Nicolò Arcieri; [2022]
    Keywords : Transparent wood; mechanical properties; fracture toughness; in situ experiments; cohesive zone model; Transparent trä; mekaniska egenskaper; brottsstyrka; in situ-experiment; modell för kohesionszonen;

    Abstract : Transparent trä biokompositer (TW) är en ny attraktiv klass av biokomposit. De är uppbyggda av delignifierat trä som impregnerats med en polymer med matchande brytningsindexet.  TW kan skräddarsys för inom ett brett spektrum av funktionella, optiska och mekaniska egenskaper.

  3. 2. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Jonatan Ringaby; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to investigate the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of mechanical and adhesively bonded connections in timber structures with gusset plates made of birch plywood, as a preliminary study for potential future use in long-span timber structures which could reduce the environmental impact of the building sector by substituting steel with wood products in moment-resisting connections. Birch plywood was chosen for this study due to its high bending strength in comparison to plywood made of softwoods and its availability on the market. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of a testing method for shear stiffness properties for cross laminated timber

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Calle Lind; [2022]
    Keywords : CLT; cross laminated timber; EN 16351; four-point bending; rolling shear modulus; FE-modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling and testing of CLT panels for evaluation of stiffness

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Sebastian Svensson Meulmann; Egzon Latifi; [2021]
    Keywords : Cross-laminated timber CLT ; Four-point bending; Bending stiffness; Shear stiffness; Plates; Lamellas;

    Abstract : The use of timber in building structures is steadily increasing. cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made of an uneven number of layers of lamellas glued at an angle of 90 degrees to each other. READ MORE

  6. 5. Material parameter identification of a thermoplastic using full-field calibration

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Nikhil Prabhu; [2020]
    Keywords : DIC; FFC; Thermoplastics; Material parameter identification; multi-point history; Polyamide 6; GISSMO; Response Surface Methodology;

    Abstract : Finite element simulation of thermoplastic components is gaining importance as the companies aim to avoid overdesign of the components. Cost of the component can be minimized by using an adequate amount of material for its application. READ MORE
