1. Moment-resisting connections for glulam using birch plywood : An experimental study on both mechanical and adhesive connections
University essay from KTH/ByggnadsmaterialAbstract : 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

2. Infrared Curing of Glass Fiber Composite Tube : Optimization of the curing cycle
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknikAbstract : This thesis has investigated the possibility of optimizing curing time by changing the energy source from a conventional oven to infrared radiation (IR) and if it is possible to achieve similar results as the company's current production of glass fiber composite tubes. Many different parameters (time, temperature, heating rate, and rotation speed) might influence a cured composite tube's properties. READ MORE

3. FE modeling of glulam beams with mechanical slotted-in steel plate connections.
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)Abstract : The mechanical behavior of timber beams with a slotted-in steel plate connection is studied by creating a numerical model that is able to simulate the global bending behavior, the global load carrying capacity and the nonlinear plastic fastener force distribution in the connection. Experimental results from Material Testing Institute (MPA), University of Stuttgart were used to verify the simulation results from this study. READ MORE

4. Characterization of thin laminate interface by using Double Cantilever Beam and End Notched Flexure tests
University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknikAbstract : This thesis is intended to identify the mode I and mode II fracture toughness to characterize the thin laminate interface by using the Double Cantilever Beam test (DCB) and End Notched Flexure test (ENF). This study’s thin laminate was Polyethylene Terephthalate and Low-Density Polyethylene (PET-LDPE), which is mostly used by packaging industries in the manufacturing of packages to store liquid food.

5. Behaviour of cross laminated timber elements with openings at out-of-plane loading conditions
University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : The use of cross laminated timber (CLT) is expanding, its use is relatively new and universal design standards are lacking. One situation for which no universal design standard exists is that of a CLT plate element with an opening. A grillage method has been proposed as a convenient method to design such plate elements.
