  1. 1. Weight Optimization of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Blades constructed in Swedish Fossil Free Steel : With respect to fatigue life time

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Johannes Hall; Albin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : VAWT; Wind Turbine Blade; SSAB; Fossil-Free; Weight Optimization; Topology Optimization; Sizing Optimization; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure; VAWT; Vindturbinblad; SSAB; Fossilfritt; Viktoptimering; Topologioptimering; Size-Optimering; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure;

    Abstract : Wind turbines have been utilized for centuries to harness energy from the wind. Commercial wind turbine blades are typically made from composite materials, which are difficult to recycle, leading to blades ending up in landfills at the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, these materials contribute to microplastic pollution. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Investigation of Crack Propagation in Cortical Bone using a Phase Field Fracture Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Olivia Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Cortical Bone; Cortical bone microstructure; Phase field; Phase field fracture approach; Crack propagation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Human cortical bone tissue is a complex and strong composite material, with the ability to resist damage via slowing, stopping or redirecting propagating cracks. However, the ability is impaired with age. At the microscale, changes are seen both in terms of increased porosity and as changes in local material parameters. READ MORE

  4. 3. Composite timber structures – Ribbed plate design : Evaluation of existing and development of new design methods

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Cristoffer Mård; [2022]
    Keywords : Ribbed plates; CLT; gamma-method; Timoshenko-method; shear analogy-method; FE-models; RFEM; Abaqus;

    Abstract : Ribbed plates comprising cross-laminated timber slab, CLT, with glulam beams allow for increased span length compared to pure CLT slabs. At the moment the Eurocodes do not provide any recommendations to design a CLT plate or a ribbed plate. There are handbooks for designing ribbed plates. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mechanical Design, Analysis, and Manufacturing of Wind Tunnel Model and Support Structure

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Luis Alfonso Penela Guerrero; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerospace; wind tunnel testing; lightweight structures; UAV; composite materials; Flyg; vindtunneltestning; Lättkonstruktioner; UAV; kompositmaterial;

    Abstract : The use of wind tunnel models for aerodynamic research is nowadays indispensable to aviation progress in the last years as aircrafts have become more complex. Wind tunnel model design and manufacturing has adopted many different processes and materials such as the use of a five-axis CNC; making this process a relatively long and expensive one. READ MORE

  6. 5. Feasibility Study of Wind Turbine Blades Constructed in 1300 MPa Fossil-Free Steel : Finite Element weight optimization with respect to structural integrity by Abaqus and Tosca Structure

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Peter van der Brug; Sina Urban; [2022]
    Keywords : Abaqus; Tosca Structure; Wind Turbine Blade; Weight Optimization; High-Strength Steel; Fossil-Free; SSAB; Strenx 1300; DTU 10MW-RWT;

    Abstract : This study aims to perform a feasibility study on the DTU 10MW-RWT wind turbine blades constructed in the fossil-free high-strength steel 1300 MPa from SSAB. The acceptance criteria, on which the study is based, are taken from the DTU composite wind turbine model. A maximum weight of 41 000kg and a maximum tip displacement of 12.5 m are chosen. READ MORE
