  1. 1. Fracture simulation with a hyperelastic phase field model

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Adrien Fradet; [2023]
    Keywords : Fracture; Phase field modeling; Hyperelasticity; Brott; fasfält-methoden; hyperelasticite;

    Abstract : The phase field method is a versatile tool to study crack initiation and propagation in systems with complex geometries. Based on a variational formulation of the equilibrium equations, the sharp crack topology is regularized by a crack with diffusive edges and the damage is described by a continuous phase field variable.

  3. 2. Impact of Residual Stress on the Warm Pre-Stressing Effect

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Emil Danielsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Warm Pre-Stressing effect; Residual stress; Cleavage fracture; Ferritic Steel; Fracture mechanics; Varm förspänning; Restspänningar; Klyvbrott; Brottmekanik; Ferritiskt stål;

    Abstract : Irradiation of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) causes a shift of the ductile to brittle transition region towards higher temperature regions. In the event of a pressurized thermal shock (PTS), where the temperature drops drastically, the ductile to brittle transition region might be entered for irradiated ferritic steel. READ MORE

  4. 3. Influence from temperature variations in stacking fault energy on the mechanical properties of stainless steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Christopher Hallén; Marcus Johansson Storne; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of austenitic stainless steels and how they relate to the material property of stacking fault energy (SFE) and its relation to temperature and nickel content. Austenitic stainless steels are commonly used and well known for good mechanical properties and deformation characteristics. READ MORE

  5. 4. Life extension of welded steel details in bridges

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Zhelei Jin; [2023]
    Keywords : Welded joints; Fatigue; Pre-fatigue; Life extension; Fracture mechanics; Finite element analysis; HFMI; ; Svetsade fogar; utmattning; förutmattning; livsförlängning; frakturmekanik; finit elementanalys; HFMI; ;

    Abstract : High-Frequency Mechanical Impacts (HFMI) is a surface treatment technique utilized to introduce residual stresses and extend the service life of structures. This project primarily focuses on studying the life extension effects of HFMI on welded structures that have undergone fatigue and have existing cracks. READ MORE

  6. 5. Experimental Testing of EPS-foam

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Carl Göransson; Erik Arnald; [2023]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; EPS; Experimental testing; Hållfasthetslära; EPS; Experimentell testning;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the mechanical properties of ExpandedPolystyrene (EPS) through experimental testing. The strain was measured on thespecimen’s surface with Digital Image Correlation (DIC), in order to investigate howthe first principal strain at fracture initiation depends on the loading of the material.
