  5. 4. Redesign for Carbon Fiber : A feasibility study on composites in forestry harvesting heads

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktrealisering

    Author : Simon Karlsson; Isabella Marklund; [2021]
    Keywords : Redesign; Single Grip Harvesting Head; Forestry; Composite Design; CFRP;

    Abstract : Harvesting heads are an essential part of today’s forestry industry, enabling a high rate of tree felling from a single operator. Requirements for the forestry machine they are attached to are strongly linked to the weight of the harvesting head, providing an incentive to make the heads as light as possible. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fatigue Testing of a Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer : Investigation of damage development using Digital Image Correlation

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Lars Johan Wenner Berg; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is a material with high specific propertiesand good fatigue and vibration dampening characteristics, and can potentiallybe used instead of steel and aluminium in heavy duty vehicles. This work focuseson testing methodology and the fatigue properties of a unidirectional (UD)material in the 0° and 90°orientation, reproducing and validating the method developedby Wanner[1]. READ MORE
