  1. 1. FEM analysis of existing buildings during renovation

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Agnes Nyberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Sturegallerian; Räumlich Finite Element Method; Euro code; Masonry; Steel amplifier; Sturegallerian; Räumlich Finita Element Metod; Eurokoder; Murverk; Stål förstärkning;

    Abstract : In this masters thesis the aim was to investigate a part of Sturegallerian in Stockholm to be reconstructed. The reconstruction did implicate that openings were to be established in an already existing masonry wall. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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 stålbyggnad

    Author : Madeleine Olsson; Maja Gustavsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 3. Wood and moisture-induced strains in a large deformation setting in 3D

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Fredrik Ström; Anwar Obeido; [2022]
    Keywords : Total Lagrangian; Finite element method; Large deformation theory; Deformation gradient decomposition; Moisture-induced strains; Hygroscopic; Orthotropic.;

    Abstract : Many studies have previously been done on moisture-induced strains in wood. An in- finitesimal/engineering strain model has been used for most of these studies, which is often an accurate approximation for small rotations. However, if large deformations oc- cur, then fictive strains are obtained resulting from the simplified engineering strain. READ MORE

  5. 4. Numerical modeling and experimental investigation of large deformation under static and dynamic loading

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Benjamin Bondsman; [2021]
    Keywords : Total Lagrangian; Updated Lagrangian; Newmark; Energy Conserving; Algorithm; Numerical; Modeling; Large; Deformation; steel; Wood; Pine; Plane Strain; 3D;

    Abstract : Small kinematics assumption in classical engineering has been in the center of consideration in structural analysis for decennaries. In the recent years the interest for sustainable and optimized structures, lightweight structures and new materials has grown rapidly as a consequence of desire to archive economical sustainability.

  6. 5. 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
