  1. 6. Numerical simulations of shear reinforced concrete beams subjected to blast loads

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Anton Frank; Andreas Fristedt; [2021]
    Keywords : Numerical simulations; shear reinforcement; blast loads; dynamic shear failure; Numeriska simuleringar; tvärkraftsarmering; luftstötvåg; dynamiskt skjuvbrott;

    Abstract : Historical accidents and experimental investigations have made apparent that blast loaded concrete members are prone to fail in brittle shear rather than a ductile flexure mode. Air blasts from accidental detonations or explosives may cause severe damage to buildings and infrastructure and it is of great importance that load carrying members can withstand the impulse that arise to avoid progressive collapses.

  3. 7. Design of 3D-printed cranioplasty moulds using Neural Network

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Jonathan Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : Cranioplasty; Neural Network; Convolutional Neural Network; autoencoder; 3D printing; data reconstruction; Technology and Engineering; Medicine and Health Sciences; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Cranioplasty is surgical repair of a skull bone defect due to a previous surgery or injury. Cranioplasty is most often performed with autologous bone flap, i.e the patient's own saved bone from previous surgery if this is available. READ MORE

  4. 8. Kera-Plast : Exploring the plasticization of keratin-based fibers through compression molded human hair in relation to textile design methods

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Romy Franziska Kaiser; [2020]
    Keywords : Compression Molding; Plasticization; Keratin Fiber; Human Hair; Textile Design Methods; Textile Thinking; Textile Activism;

    Abstract : The project Kera-Plast aims to re-loop humans and nature by questioning the current systems and ethics through materiality. Human hair, currently considered as waste, functions as the base for the material exploration fabricated through thermo-compression molding. READ MORE

  5. 9. Seismic evaluation and retrofitting of an existing building in Athens using pushover analysis

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Angelos Lazaris; [2019]
    Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; pushover analysis; concrete building; steel bracing; fibre reinforced plastic;

    Abstract : Earthquakes are one of the biggest problems in civil engineering all over the world. Due to earthquakes, great disasters in cities with collapsed structures and human losses have been caused. READ MORE

  6. 10. Polymer Aging Mechanics : An investigation on a Thermoset Polymer used in the Exterior Structure of a Heavy-duty Vehicle

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Basil Abu-Ragheef; [2019]
    Keywords : polyDicyclopentadiene; aging; thermosets; fatigue; mechanical properties; thermal fatigue; digital image correlation; viscoelasticity; polymer degradation; thermo-oxidation; photo-oxidation;

    Abstract : The use of plastic materials in the design of vehicle components is primarily driven by the need for vehicle weight and cost reduction. Additionally, these materials give design engineers freedom in creating appealing exterior designs. READ MORE
