  1. 1. Mechanical properties of SiC nanowires with polytypes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Anders Vesti; [2019]
    Keywords : atomistic modeling; nanowires; molecular dynamics; simulation; SiC; silicon carbide; fracture behavior; nanomechanics; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this report, we model the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of SiC nanowires with different polytypes using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The mechanical properties investigated are the Young’s modulus, the maximum tensile stress and the fracture strain. The three polytype tested are SiC (3C), (2H) and (4H). READ MORE

  2. 2. Investigating the performance of hempcrete as an option for retrofitting masonry buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Henry Lanham; [2019]
    Keywords : Hempcrete; lime-hemp Miljöbyggnad; moisture safety; future climate; energy use; mould risk.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One fifth of the energy consumed by buildings in Sweden is by those built before 1945, many of them constructed from solid masonry walls. Improving their heating energy consumption is a challenge we must face in light of human’s impact on climate change as well as increasing energy costs. READ MORE

  3. 3. Get your hands dirty : A Manifesto

    University essay from Ädellab/Metallformgivning

    Author : Ivca Vostrovska; [2012]
    Keywords : Wabi - Sabi; Raw beauty; Jewellery; Craft;

    Abstract : Modern jewellery making techniques can be very seductive, not least the ease with which an artist can design a piece on a computer and forego the time-consuming, and often frustrating, process of manufacture. But, the question needs to be asked: is something being lost by the artist who absents themselves from that part of the process? In this essay, I argue that such artists are subjected to a truncated creative process. READ MORE

  4. 4. Vibration Analysis of Underground Tunnel at High-Tech Facility

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Juan Negreira Montero; [2010]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Max-lab is a national laboratory operated jointly by the Swedish Research Council and Lund University. Nowadays, the Max project consist of three facilities (three storage rings): MAX I, MAX II, MAX III and one electron pre-accelerator called Max Injector. A new storage ring is needed due to improved nanotechnology. READ MORE
