  1. 1. Method Development & Analysis of Seals using FEM

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion

    Author : Lovisa Svanborg Östlin; [2023]
    Keywords : FEM; guidelines; hyperelastic materials; hyperelastic material models; method development; seals; FEM; riktlinjer; hyperelastiska material; hyperelastiska materialmodeller; metodutveckling; tätningar;

    Abstract : Hyperelasticity is a significant property of rubber, taken advantage of in engineering applications. A common application is the use of seals to prevent fluid transfer (liquid or gas) between solid regions. Volvo CE is often depending on external supplier when developing seals. READ MORE

  3. 2. FE Simulation of protective insulation of catalysts in exhaust after-treatment systems of trucks and buses : Investigation and characterization of catalytic converter support mat material for accurate modeling in finite element simulations

    University essay from

    Author : Manroop Bhattasali; [2022]
    Keywords : Catalytic converter; packaging mats; support mats; compression; friction; hyperelastic; hyperfoam; viscoelastic; canning; finite element;

    Abstract : The increase of new and ever more stringent emission legislation has brought about with it a surge in the demand for more sustainable automotive solutions. This has particularly been the case for automobiles, including heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses, with internal combustion engines, which now require the design and manufacturing of more durable and reliable components.

  4. 3. Verification of elastomer characteristics in electro-mechanical linear actuator

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Rohit Karmungikar; [2022]
    Keywords : ANSYS; Aging; Hyperelastic; MATLAB and Mooney-Rivlin; ANSYS; Åldrande; Hyperelastic; MATLAB och Mooney-Rivlin;

    Abstract : Cascade Drives develops electromechanical actuators using a rack and pinion configuration to achieve a combination of high load and high-speed operation. A patented load distribution mechanism enables the use of multiple pinions on a single rack, resulting in a compact unit with high positional accuracy capable of absorbing shock loads. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improving comfort simulations of sleeping mattresses for IKEA

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Innovation

    Author : Joel Elinder; [2020]
    Keywords : LS-Dyna; explicit finite element simulations; compressive testing; human soft tissue material models; mass scaling; hyperelastic material model validation; material validation; explicit timestep; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : It is beneficial for a furniture company like IKEA to objectively and accurately evaluate what makes a mattress comfortable. But what defines comfort? IKEA currently investigates mattress comfort through extensive real-life user testing. Through which, six parameters of comfort have been identified. READ MORE

  6. 5. Material Characterization for the Simulation of Drop Tests Against PMMA Sheets

    University essay from Jönköping University/JTH, Material och tillverkning

    Author : Arturo Sancho Montagut; [2020]
    Keywords : Abaqus; Polymers; PMMA; Acrylic; Simulation; Material Models; Hyperelasticity; Plasticity; Viscoelasticity; Drucker Prager; Yeoh; Drop Test; Luminaires;

    Abstract : There is a high demand for implementing simulations in the design and product devel-opment processes, avoiding the execution of costly tests on prototypes and giving thechance of discarding unsuitable designs, as well as exploring possible ones without much cost added.This project assignment is to find a suitable way to simulate drop tests on two typesof PMMA sheets, a material widely used on luminaire covers.
