  1. 1. Method Development & Analysis of Seals using FEM

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion

    Author : Lovisa Svanborg Östlin; [2023]
    Keywords : FEM; guidelines; hyperelastic materials; hyperelastic material models; method development; seals; FEM; riktlinjer; hyperelastiska material; hyperelastiska materialmodeller; metodutveckling; tätningar;

    Abstract : Hyperelasticity is a significant property of rubber, taken advantage of in engineering applications. A common application is the use of seals to prevent fluid transfer (liquid or gas) between solid regions. Volvo CE is often depending on external supplier when developing seals. READ MORE

  3. 2. Experimental Testing of EPS-foam

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Carl Göransson; Erik Arnald; [2023]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; EPS; Experimental testing; Hållfasthetslära; EPS; Experimentell testning;

    Abstract : The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the mechanical properties of ExpandedPolystyrene (EPS) through experimental testing. The strain was measured on thespecimen’s surface with Digital Image Correlation (DIC), in order to investigate howthe first principal strain at fracture initiation depends on the loading of the material.

  4. 3. Simulation of wire bending processes in continuous wave winding stator production

    University essay from KTH/Produktionsutveckling

    Author : Simon Boström Leijon; [2023]
    Keywords : Finite element analysis; bending; stator winding; Finita element analys; böjning; statorlindning;

    Abstract : Electric propulsion in the heavy truck industry require knowledge in certain new areas involved in electric machine manufacturing. One of these new manufacturing steps is copper bending for production of stator windings. READ MORE

  5. 4. Tomography-based Micromechanical Analysis of Novel Composite Material

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Mattias Grankvist; [2023]
    Keywords : paper mechanics; micro mechanics; numerical analysis; tomography; foam forming; density profile; pappersmekanik; mikromekanik; numerisk analys; tomografi; skumformning; densitetsprofil;

    Abstract : This study explores the performance of porous Paptic paper materials composed of a mixture of softwood and lyocell fibers. The investigation involves laboratory experiments and numerical simulations to analyse the impact of various parameters on the paper's characteristics. READ MORE

  6. 5. Viscoelasticity of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites : Measuring the time-dependence of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) composite’s mechanical properties, using digital image correlation

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Marine Jeanne Debouvry; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The viscoelastic behavior of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite was investigated, in an effort to learn more about the mechanical properties of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites. Tensile creep tests with constant load were performed for native wood, non-delignified, and delignified wood-polymer composites. READ MORE
