  1. 1. Analyzing Raw Material Characteristics for Composite and Bio-composite preparation and Assessing Environmental Impacts through LCA

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Lakshay Vashist; [2023]
    Keywords : Plastic; Polymers; Composites; Bio-composites; Synthetic Fibers; Natural Fibers; Mechanical Properties; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Plast; polymerer; kompositer; biokompositer; syntetiska fibrer; naturliga fibrer; mekaniska egenskaper; livscykelanalys LCA ;

    Abstract : With the population expected to grow dramatically in the future. The existing state of the ecosystem appears to be worse in the future. One of the key culprits that has been wreaking havoc on the ecosystem is the use of plastic that is used to produce composites. READ MORE

  3. 2. Environmental Barrier Coatings to protect Ceramic Matrix Composites in next-generation jet engines

    University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Shivang Parmar; [2023]
    Keywords : Environmental barrier coating; ceramic matric composite; atmospheric plasma spray; suspension plasma spray; thermal cyclic fatigue; Barriärbeläggning; keramisk komposit; atmosfärisk plasmasprutning; suspensionsplasmasprutning; termisk cyklisk utmattning;

    Abstract : Gas turbine engine efficiency needs to be raised in order to decrease fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and expenses. Efficiency may be improved in two ways: by reducing engine weight and raising intake temperatures. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design to Control a Thermal Runaway in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)

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

    Author : Anurag Modak; [2023]
    Keywords : Compact Modular Architecture CMA ; Mica; Thermal runaway; thermal barriers; Compact Modular Architecture CMA ; Mica; Thermal runaway; tekniska barriärer;

    Abstract : The rapid electrification of vehicles has neccessitated advancements in battery technology, impacting various components within the car battery pack. This project focuses on the development of thermal barriers, which serve as crucial components that prevent potential fires from thermal runaway incidents in the battery pack from reaching the vehicle's interior compartment.

  5. 4. Viscoelasticity of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites : Measuring the time-dependence of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) composite’s mechanical properties, using digital image correlation

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Marine Jeanne Debouvry; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The viscoelastic behavior of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite was investigated, in an effort to learn more about the mechanical properties of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites. Tensile creep tests with constant load were performed for native wood, non-delignified, and delignified wood-polymer composites. READ MORE

  6. 5. Adhesive bonding of fiber laminate patch to sandwich-structured composite

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Materialteknik

    Author : Daniel Nesic; [2022]
    Keywords : Adhesive bonding; Shipbuilding; Composite construction; Finite element method in structural mechanics; Fiber reinforced plastics; Optical microscopy analysis; Fractography; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : By using composites when constructing vehicles, lighter weight and thus better performance can be achieved. Composites are widely used in airplanes and small boats, but has yet to be incorporated in larger ships such as freighters and cruise ships. The main hindrance for its use is the lack of practical knowledge and experience. READ MORE
