  1. 21. Finite Element Modeling of Rubber Bushing for Crash Simulation - Experimental Tests and Validation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Oscar Jesus Centeno Gil; [2009]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Until recently, the general level of detail in full car crash models has not allowed a physical modeling of rubber bushings with solid elements. This is partly because of the difficulty in modeling the complex characteristic of rubber, but also due to limited understanding of the mechanical properties of rubber materials. READ MORE

  2. 22. Optical Studies ofNano-Structures in the BeetleCetonia Aurata

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Rizwana Shamim; [2009]
    Keywords : Cetonia aurata; Mueller-matrix ellipsometry; Helicoidal structures; Left-handed circularly polarized light;

    Abstract :       The main objective of this thesis is to study the polarization effects of the beetle Cetonia aurata using Mueller-matrix ellipsometry. The outer shell of the beetle consists of complex microstructures which control the polarization of the reflected light. It has metallic appearance which originates from helicoidal structures.

  3. 23. Structural Optimization of Product Families : With Application to Vehicle Body Structures

    University essay from Institutionen för konstruktions- och produktionsteknik

    Author : Maria Andersson; Hanna Kristofferson; [2006]
    Keywords : Structural optimization; beam structure; product family; compliance; mass; load case;

    Abstract : Some products share one or two modules and while developing these products, structural optimization with stiffness as the objective function can be a useful tool. There might be no or very little CAD-data available in the pre-development phase and it is not certain that existing designs can be, or is desirable to use as a reference. READ MORE
