  1. 1. Evaluation of a Test Rig to Determine the Need For Human Operators in Ergonomic Testing of Pistol Grip Power Tools

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

    Author : Felix Ekman; Axel Sernelin; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Handheld power tools are found in many different manufacturing processes, everywhere from miniature screw joints in cell phones to safety-critical joints in automotive vehicles. The tools are often used for many consecutive hours which emphasizes the need for good ergonomics to ensure the safety of the operators. READ MORE

  3. 2. Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges : Novel steel hinge connection for pedestrian timber bridges

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Charlotte Jaeger; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study focuses on exploring a novel timber-to-timber joint using a steel hinge connection (in this work also referred to as door-hinge joint) for pedestrian timber bridges. To conduct the cross-section design of the structural bridge members, a numerical model was developed to determine the internal forces. READ MORE

  4. 3. Plastic deformation of hot riveted joints acting in shear

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Victor Gard; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A popular way to maintain old rivet connections is to reuse the old connection and replace the old rivets with high grade steel bolts. In doing so the behavior of the joint can change due to the new geometry, where a gap between the new bolt and the rivet hole emerges. READ MORE

  5. 4. Approximating Damping Coefficient of Bolted Joints using the Finite Element Method

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Abhiroop Chatterjee; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Bolted joints are important due to their energy dissipation property in structures,but the damping mechanism is also highly nonlinear and localized. The goal ofthis thesis is to develop an accurate method for modeling bolted joint dampingin large structures using finite element (FE) software. READ MORE

  6. 5. Real time control of an active pendulum arm suspension system for a downscaled XT28 forwarder model

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