  1. 1. Evaluation of Crack Depth Meter - An investigation of the crack depth meters possibilities and limitations for commonly occurring damage mechanisms

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Alfred Norberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Crack depth measurement; RMG 4015; ACPD; Damage Mechanism; Evaluation; FEM Simulation; Sprickdjupsmätning; RMG 4015; ACPD; Skademekanism; Utvärdering; FEM-simulering;

    Abstract : In this master thesis, the accuracy of the crack depth meter RMG 4015 was evaluated for different types of cracks with various damage mechanisms. In total, 61 crack depth measurements were conducted with the crack depth meter on 56 cracks which were located in the 23 different test pieces supplied by Kiwa. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Paradigm Shift for Substations Technology within Wind Power Applications from Onshore to Floating

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ahmad Talaat Hifzy; [2023]
    Keywords : Floating; offshore; substation; transformer; GIS; equipment; high-voltage; fatigue; Flytande; havsbaserad; station; transformator; GIS; utrustning; högspänning; utmattning;

    Abstract : Floating wind turbines are attracting more attention as more than three-quarters of the total offshore technical potential is located in deep water, leading to a growing trend in floating wind farm projects. Consequently, it becomes necessary to develop Floating Offshore Substation (FOSS) to step up voltage and efficiently transmit power to the shore with minimal losses. READ MORE

  4. 3. Weight Optimization of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Blades constructed in Swedish Fossil Free Steel : With respect to fatigue life time

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Johannes Hall; Albin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : VAWT; Wind Turbine Blade; SSAB; Fossil-Free; Weight Optimization; Topology Optimization; Sizing Optimization; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure; VAWT; Vindturbinblad; SSAB; Fossilfritt; Viktoptimering; Topologioptimering; Size-Optimering; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure;

    Abstract : Wind turbines have been utilized for centuries to harness energy from the wind. Commercial wind turbine blades are typically made from composite materials, which are difficult to recycle, leading to blades ending up in landfills at the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, these materials contribute to microplastic pollution. READ MORE

  5. 4. Simulation and Experimental Based Hardenability Evaluation of Chromium Alloyed Powder Metal Steels

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Atharva Kotasthane; [2023]
    Keywords : Hardenability; Martensite; Simulation Modelling; Microhardness; Microstructure; Härdbarhet; Martensit; Simuleringsmodellering; Mikrohårdhet; Mikrostruktur;

    Abstract : Powder metallurgy is a branch of metal forming technology where metal powders are used to manufacture parts and components. It is a flexible and economical technique for manufacturing complicated shapes. This present work focuses on press and sinter technology and forms a part of Höganäs’s efforts of modelling hardenability through quenching. READ MORE

  6. 5. Methodology for analysis of vibration isolating systems

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Jonas Olsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Vibration;

    Abstract : Vibration causes problems in many kinds of machinery including fighter aircraft. It can, for example, cause structural fatigue, malfunction in equipment and injuries to humans. The sources of vibration are engines, flow disturbance and separation of external loads, to mention some. READ MORE
