16. Modeling of a ball contact with a coated plate
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : During tightening of a screw, the variation in friction will affect the force acting on the joint, especially when tightening using torque as a control parameter. So, it is crucial to have a proper understanding of the contact mechanism and friction in the screw head to joint and thread interfaces. READ MORE

17. Finite Element Macro-modeling of a Historical Masonry Building : Influence of Isotropic vs Anisotropic Plastic Material Model Assumption in Static Analysis
University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadAbstract : In this study, a macro-modeling strategy is implemented in a bearing wall with arch openings in an existing historical masonry building. This is to investigate what differences and similarities can be observed from the assumption of an orthotropic versus an isotropic constitutive material model. READ MORE

18. Design of an Embedded Torque Sensor : Based on Volumetric Strain induced Differential Air Pressure
University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för elektronikkonstruktionAbstract : This paper proposes a torque sensor based on the differential air pres- sure measurement method using a new embedded structure. The pro- posed sensor design is an improvement over the previous sensor design. The mechanical sensitivity, resolution, and stress distribution of the new sensor are analyzed by finite element modeling. READ MORE

19. Finite Element Modeling of Installation Effects of Soil-Cement Columns
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Since the 1970's deep mixing columns have been widely used all over the world to improve the performance of soft soil in regard to bearing capacity or deformation behaviour. They are installed by mixing a binding agent, e.g. cement, in situ with the soil. READ MORE

20. Development of a subject specific 3D knee finite element model to estimate the effect of weight loss on cartilage biomechanics
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that degrades articular cartilage and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Overweight has been considered a major risk factor of knee OA, and it is known that weight loss may reduce the risk of knee OA. READ MORE
