  1. 16. FISST - Fully Integrated Shell Structure : OPTIMIZATION OF AN AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Ulrika Sonelius; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In order to reduce the costs of aircraft, the weight of the fuselage has to be reduced. This master thesis, collaboration between the Royal Institute of Technology and Airbus Group, aims to optimize a new aircraft fuselage under development. READ MORE

  3. 17. Global Warming Potential of a Smartphone : Using Life Cycle Assessment Methodology

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Author : Elif Mine Ercan; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The global development and usage of smartphones are rapidly increasing. Further, the high capacity and functionality of these devices indicate high technological manufacturing processes and complex supply chains. Thus it is of interest to investigate the potential environmental impacts of a smartphone, from a life cycle perspective. READ MORE

  4. 18. Ferrocement Super-Insulated Shell House Design and Construction

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

    Author : Jan Lugowski; [2013]
    Keywords : shell structures; concrete; ferrocement; green buildings; energy modeling;

    Abstract : The purpose of this paper is to explore the ferrocement building technique for sustainable housing. Ferrocement involves the use of conventional cement with fine aggregate and several layers of steel, with the advantage of higher strength than conventional reinforced concrete, limited formwork and thinner sections.

  5. 19. Simulations of the response of concrete structures subjected to air blasts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Peter Svantesson; [2013]
    Keywords : Load blast; reinforced concrete; structural response; finite element analysis; LS-DYNA; LOAD BLAST ENHANCED; shell element; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The response of concrete structures subjected to blast load can be studied numerically using commercial finite element programs. The complexity of reinforced concrete makes modeling and simulation of large structures time and computer power consuming. READ MORE

  6. 20. Simulation of the behavior of a payload fairing during separation

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Julien Servais; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The present paper describes the development of a finite element based tool at the launcher directorate of theFrench Space Agency (CNES) in order to support the ground study and testing of fairing separation systems.The main topic is the finite element modeling process and its validation.
