    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. 9. Simulation and Modelling of Injection Molded Components : Fiber Reinforced Polymers in Powertrain Mounts

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Hanna Jakobsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Material modelling; polymer composites; FRP; orthotropic; powertrain mount; vehicle engineering; Digimat; Material modellering; polymera kompositer; ortotropisk; motorupphängnig; Digimat;

    Abstract : Powertrain mounts' purpose is to mount the engine and the gearbox in the car. Besides that, it isolate the body from the powertrain movements and road excitation. The most common material in powertrain mounts bracket is aluminum but lately, fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) has been acting as a substitute for the aluminum. READ MORE

  6. 10. Investigation of wear behavior of different sliding bearing materials in an alkaline environment

    University essay from

    Author : Martina Ottosson; [2018]
    Keywords : wear; tribology; alkaline; sliding bearing;

    Abstract : In sliding bearing wear is a very common problem and can be affected by several factors. The wear in a bearing can lead to total failure of the component and lower the lifetime. In a sliding bearing used in a machine in the pulp and paper industry large wear has been detected, but no clear evidence of what the wear depends on. READ MORE
