  1. 1. Incorporating Flax Fiber Composites in Hypercar Panels

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Hanna Öster; Sara Isorena Guðjónsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : sound transmission loss; coincidence frequency; sound pressure level; flax fibre; carbon fibre; ljudtransmission; koincidensfrekvens; ljudtrycksnivå; linfiber; kolfiber;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates sound transmission loss through flat finite panels using composite materials, which incorporate both carbon and flax fibres. The study wascarried out by performing FEM simulations developed and validated in steps. Thevalidation process was time-consuming but crucial in ensuring the model’s reliability. READ MORE

  3. 2. Study and optimization of a hexacopter's composite structure

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Helena Delmotte; [2023]
    Keywords : Lightweight structure; Drone; Structural optimization; FEA; Lättviktsstruktur; Drönare; Strukturell optimering; FEA;

    Abstract : Nowadays, the forestry industry still uses heavy machinery damaging both the forest and the soil. The start-up AirForestry is currently developing a sustainable way to thin and harvest trees. With their 6.2m wide electric drone carrying a harvesting tool, they can reach, thin, cut and carry trees without the need for access roads. READ MORE

  4. 3. Embedding Carbon Nanotubes Sensors into Carbon Fiber Laminates

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Abstract : The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite materials in structural applications has increased in the past decades in high­performance sectors, such as in the automotive and aeronautic industries, for weight reduction purposes. However, FRP composite materials can offer more significant innovation potential. READ MORE

  5. 4. Enhancing the endurance of UAVs by the use of structural power composites: System-level study of a flying wing

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Gustav Burman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the feasibility of integrating the novelStructural Battery (SB)[1] into the airframe of a UnmannedAerial Vehicle (UAV). The potential advantages in terms ofmass, range and endurance are studied.The aircraft performance is analysed using conventionalflight mechanics, modelled in Matlab and Xfoil. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of protecting coatings for composites in an aero-engine

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Julien Mertz; [2021]
    Keywords : composites; coatings; aerospace; aero-engine; lightning strike; fire; erosion;

    Abstract : Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials exhibit high specificstrength and stiffness therefore they can be a lightweight alternative to metalliccomponents for the front section of an aero-engine. Despite the benefit of CFRP composite materials for aero-engine applications, there arealso new challenges due to their inherent properties compared to conventionalaerospace metallic structures, such as a lower erosion resistance, poor thermalresistance, and poor electrical conductivity.
