  1. 1. A personalized quasi-passive ankleexoskeleton using human-in-the loop optimization approaches

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

    Author : Ho Ming Kong; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Passive ankle exoskeletons have been proven to successfully decrease muscle demand for walking. The movement of the user’s ankle drives a mechanical clutch and spring, which eventually stores and returns mechanical energy to the user. READ MORE

  3. 2. Size effect in wood : Characterization of mechanical properties using digital image correlation method

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Amir Saeidi; Olafur Johannsson; [2023]
    Keywords : compression test longitudinal direction; digital image corre- lation DIC ; ncorr; phyton; pinewood; size effect; stiffness matrix; wood- construction; YAWCAM; young’s modulus; digital image correlation DIC ; elasticitetsmodul; furu; kom- pressionstest längs fiberriktning; ncorr; phyton; storlekseffekt; styvhetsma- tris; trä-konstruktion; YAWCAM;

    Abstract : As a natural composite material, wood exhibits complex structural char-acteristics and diverse behavior under compression and tensile forces. Itsanisotropic nature results in mechanical properties that vary depending onthe load direction along its longitudinal, tangential, and radial grains. READ MORE

  4. 3. 3D printing of ceramic composites with improved mechanical strength

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Liu Yuchen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractCeramic materials have a wide range of applications in many fields, but their fragility limits theiruse in high strength and high stress environments. Therefore, by combining ceramic materialswith reinforcing agents, their mechanical properties can be improved. READ MORE

  5. 4. Multi-Scale Topology Optimization of Lattice Structures Using Machine Learning

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Julia Ibstedt; [2023]
    Keywords : Topology optimization; Multi-scale topology optimization; Machine learning; Gaussian process; Homogenization; Inverse homogenization; Anisotropic materials; Symmetry groups; Material property space; Topologioptimering; Flerskalig topologioptimering; Maskininlärning; Gaussian process; Homogenisering; Anisotropa material; Symmetrigrupper; Materialegenskapsrymd;

    Abstract : This thesis explores using multi-scale topology optimization (TO) by utilizing inverse homogenization to automate the adjustment of each unit-cell's geometry and placement in a lattice structure within a pressure vessel (the design domain) to achieve desired structural properties. The aim is to find the optimal material distribution within the design domain as well as desired material properties at each discretized element and use machine learning (ML) to map microstructures with corresponding prescribed effective properties.

  6. 5. Towards a sustainable substitute for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) in automotive industry

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Amalia Christoula; [2023]
    Keywords : Polylactide PLA ; Biobased; Life Cycle Analysis LCA ; Impact modifiers; Lignocellulose nanofibers LCNF; Polylaktid PLA ; Biobaserad; Livscykelanalys LCA ; Slagtålighet; Nanofibrer av lignocellulosa LCNF ;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utveckla ett hållbart ersättningsmaterial till akrylnitrilbutadienstyren plast (ABS), genom att applicera principerna för grön kemi och teknik. ABS är en icke-nedbrytbar plast som till exempel används i slagtåliga produkter för hyttinteriörer. READ MORE
