  1. 11. Assessment of using liquidity index for the approximation of undrained shear strength of clay tills in Scania

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Dagnija Andreasson; [2019]
    Keywords : clay till; undrained shear strength; liquidity index; CPT; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Undrained shear strength is a crucial parameter of the clay-rich sediments commonly used in the design process of geotechnical structures and is determined by several tests. As a considerable part of these tests are cost- and time consuming, it is of interest to investigate the potential relationship with shear strength (cu) with alternative, easily measurable parameters, such as liquidity index (IL).

  3. 12. Design and Analysis of a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Structural Chassis Component for a EU Long Distance Truck

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Wiktor Edfeldt; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A Scania S-series front chassis module feasibility study is carried out to investigate the potential gains and losses by changing to a composite material system. The existing front chassis module comprises multiple steel, sheet metal and plastic components. The design space is fixed by the location of adjacent components in the current design. READ MORE

  4. 13. Recyclability by Design of Flexible Packaging

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

    Author : Rafael Ferrándiz Martínez; [2018]
    Keywords : flexible packaging; recyclability; shelf-life; barrier film; structures; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This research has established a different approach towards a better design in packaging development for the Early Life Nutrition portfolio of Danone Nutricia Research. During this study, the value chain of plastic flexible packaging has been analysed by looking into the different technologies used at the sorting centres as well as technologies used to recycle multilayer films (e.

  5. 14. Experimental analysis of limitations in the strut-and-tie method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Mikael Wahlgren; Niels Bailleul; [2016]
    Keywords : Strut-and-Tie method; Reinforced concrete; Concrete Damaged Plasticity; Fracture energy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : One of the overall main purposes for a structural engineer is to design structures and structural elements so that they meet society’s safety requirements, yet use as little material as possible. In order to do so, the designer has to understand and simplify a complex reality. READ MORE

  6. 15. Design of a fuel tank in Volvo frontloader L120 : Effects of the baffles on reducing liquid sloshing

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : maría del Mar Diaz del Pino; Jakub sznurowski; [2014]
    Keywords : Sloshing phenomena; baffles; steel tank; front loader; vorticity;

    Abstract : Sloshing phenomena could seriously damage tank structures and reduce its lifetime. On the one hand, studies directly recommend the use of baffles to solve these problems, nevertheless on the other hand the existence of small tanks or plastic tanks without baffles confuse and complicate the case.
