1. Method Development & Analysis of Seals using FEM
University essay from KTH/MaskinkonstruktionAbstract : 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

2. Fracture simulation with a hyperelastic phase field model
University essay from KTH/HållfasthetsläraAbstract : 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. Development of a Method to Determine the Influence of Rubber Components in Dynamic Simulations
University essay from KTH/Farkostteknik och SolidmekanikAbstract : In order to make sure that an engine can withstand the vibration loads, while the weight is kept as low as possible, some components on the engine are made of rubber. The stiffness of these rubber components are several orders of magnitude lower than the surrounding metal components, and the inclusion of rubber components affects the dynamic behaviour of the engine.
