  1. 1. Effective shear stiffness of cross-laminated timber : Comparison between numerical and analytical approaches

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Therese Badrous; Las Muradi; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The increasing importance of sustainability has led to a focus on smart solutions for energy consumption and materials. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has gained attention as a sustainable alternative in construction, offering high strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modeling of a ball contact with a coated plate

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

    Author : Mohammadreza Saeedi; [2023]
    Keywords : Pin on disc tribometer; coating; contact mechanics; finite element method; tribology; Pin on disc tribometer; beläggning; kontaktmekanik; finita elementmetod; tribologi;

    Abstract : During tightening of a screw, the variation in friction will affect the force acting on the joint, especially when tightening using torque as a control parameter. So, it is crucial to have a proper understanding of the contact mechanism and friction in the screw head to joint and thread interfaces. READ MORE

  4. 3. Solving Korteweg-de Vries equations with Discontinuous Galerkin methods

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

  6. 5. 2D Modelling of Geosynthetically Reinforced Piled Embankments : Calibration Methods in PLAXIS 2D & Review of Analytical Guidelines

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Maya Sleiman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the 2D modelling of Geosyntheticaly Reinforced Piled Embankments (GRPE) in PLAXIS 2D. In doing so, it explores two main aspects: 1) the calibration of Interface Stiffness Factors (ISFs) governing the soil-pile interaction of Embedded BeamRow (EBR) elements in PLAXIS 2D, and 2) the prospects and limitations of modelling geogrids (GR) in PLAXIS 2D when underlain by EBR elements; although several studies have validates the EBR element in modelling piles, none address the geogrid-EBR interaction and its implications on modelling GRPE systems.
