  1. 16. Finite element analysis of winding sequence for cable drums

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Simon Vikström; Robin Thuresson; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project concerns large cable drums made of steel. Cable drums are cylindrical structures used to transport different kinds of cables or wires. The ones in focus in this work are used to transport very stiff and heavy cables to offshore sites in the oil industry. READ MORE

  2. 17. Production cost reduction through optimization of machine component

    University essay from KTH/Industriell produktion

    Author : Mehdi Rezazadeh; Reza Delavar; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis aiming to reduce the cost of production through analyzing and optimizing a set of weaving machine components including five legs; three main legs and two support legs. This set of legs has a reciprocating revolutionary movement around a central axis which is driven by a crank shaft. READ MORE

  3. 18. Nonlinear FEM load bearing capacity assessment of a concrete bridge subjected to support settlements : Case of a continious slab bridge with angled supports

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Daniel Hansson; [2013]
    Keywords : Nonlinear finite element method; concrete slab brigde; support settlements; load bearing capacity assessment; angled supports; Abaqus;

    Abstract : A nonlinear finite element analysis was performed for an existing road bridge in order to see if that could show a higher load bearing capacity, as an alternative to repairing or replacing. The regular linear analysis had shown that the bridge could not take any traffic load due to the effects from large and uneven support settlements. READ MORE

  5. 20. Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams subjected to Blast Loading : Non-linear Dynamic Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Abbas Zangeneh Kamali; [2012]
    Keywords : Non-linear finite element analysis; Shear Strength; Reinforced Concrete; Normal Strength Concrete; Blast loading; Explicit Dynamic analysis; Design codes;

    Abstract : The experimental investigations performed on the behaviour of reinforce concrete elements subjected to blast loading have revealed that the shear mechanisms and ductility play important roles in the overall response and failure mode of such structures. The main aim of this master thesis is to study the possibility of using finite element method as a tool for predicting the dynamic response of blast loaded reinforced concrete beams and evaluation of their shear strength.
