  1. 1. Production of textile fibres from filamentous fungi grown on apple pomace : invertase pre-treatment

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Sofia Berg; [2023]
    Keywords : apple pomace; invertase; fibres; filamentous fungi; dry gel spinning;

    Abstract : In this work Rhizopus Delemar was grown on an apple pomace medium, a waste product from the juice industry. The apple pomace was pre-treated with the enzyme invertase to hydrolyse the sucrose available in the waste to glucose and fructose, which are digestible by the fungus. READ MORE

  3. 2. Compression Characteristics of Elastomer Elements

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

    Author : Rahul Nagaraj Dixit; [2021]
    Keywords : Continuum mechanics; Hyperelasticity; Mooney Rivlin; Rack and Pinion; Kontinuummekanik; Hyperelasticitet; Mooney Rivlin; Kuggstångsväxel;

    Abstract : Compression of elastomer elements are nonlinear due to the cross-linked molecular structure owing to a property known as hyperelasticity. Hyperelasticity is defined as the nonlinear stress-strain behavior shown by rubber like materials which can be strained up to a range of 700% in tension and up to 40% in compression. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimizing Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printing for durability : Tensile properties and layer bonding

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Frans Johansson; [2016]
    Keywords : 3D printing; Fused Deposition Modeling; tensile strength; layer bonding;

    Abstract : With the rapid increase in utilization of the cheap and user friendly Fused Filament Fabrication, FFF 3D printer, a deeper knowledge about the technique is needful. The frame restricting the 3D printers for prototyping purposes is fading and a new phase of endless application possibilities is emerging. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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
