  1. 16. 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

  3. 17. 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.

  4. 18. Performance of reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers : Case study: Essinge Bridge over Pampaslänken

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad; KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Zeinab Mirzahassanagha; Eva Malo; [2021]
    Keywords : CFRP; External Strengthening Method; RC Bridges; Curved Substrate; Finite Element Modelling; Kolfiberväv; Extern Förstärkningsmetod; Betongarmerade broar; Konkav yta; Finita Elementa Modellering;

    Abstract : This master thesis deals with the performance of existing reinforced concrete bridges strengthened with externally bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP). One of the main aims of this work is to understand the functionality of such an external strengthening method applied to a concave surface in a heavy concrete structure such as a bridge. READ MORE

  5. 19. The Impact of Insulation Materials on a Climate Declaration : A Study of a Swedish Preschool

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Isabelle Hallkvist; Elin Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Climate declaration; Insulation materials; Insulation material; Climate impact; Greenhouse gas emissions; Building and construction sector; Boverket; Glass wool; Stone wool; EPS; XPS; Cellulose fibre; Foam glass; Klimatdeklaration; Isoleringsmaterial; Klimatpåverkan; Växthusgasutsläpp; Bygg- och fastighetssektorn; Boverket; Glasull; Stenull; EPS; XPS; Cellulosafiber; Skumglas;

    Abstract : To reach the net-zero carbon goal by 2045, the Swedish government want to push the building and construction sector to lower their greenhouse gas emissions. This push is performed by implementing a law requiring building developers to perform a climate declaration over greenhouse gas emissions, to receive a building’s final clearance. READ MORE

  6. 20. Energy efficient fibre composites recycling

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Pauline Boillat; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this project, an investigation will be performed about how to improve thermal properties of recycled composite material. First, a literature study was performed about the potential techniques to improve the heating efficiency of the composites. Heating  techniques,  fibres  and  possible  fillers  were  investigated.
