  1. 1. Evaluation of the mechanical properties of structural adhesives cured under different environmental conditions

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

    Author : Sebastian Wilhelmsson; Joel Ågren; [2021]
    Keywords : structural adhesive; methyl methacrylate; curing; temperature; water; tensile testing; DSC;

    Abstract : Today, structural adhesives are found extensively in load-bearing engineering applications, as their use can be advantageous compared to other fastening methods. However, the characteristics of adhesives are far more complex, making it challenging to predict their behavior in different service conditions. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling of Laser Welding of Aluminium using COMSOL Multiphysics

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Jie Chen; [2020]
    Keywords : laser welding process; aluminium alloy; thermal-mechanical; COMSOL Multiphysics; hot cracking; thermal model; CFD model; mechanical model; Marangoni effect; lasersvetsningsprocess; aluminiumlegeringar; termisk-mekanisk; COMSOL-flerfysik; hetsprickning; termisk modell; CFD-modell; mekanisk modell; Marangoni-effekt;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a modelling approach of laser welding process of aluminium alloy from the thermo-mechanical point of view to evaluate the occurrence of hot cracking based on simulation results and relevant criteria. The model was created stepwise in COMSOL Multiphysics, starting with the thermal model where heat conduction of solid and liquid phase was computed. READ MORE

  4. 3. Thermo-mechanical fatigue of castiron for engine applications

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Niklas Collin; [2014]
    Keywords : Thermo-mechanical fatigue; TMF; CGI; LGI; fatigue; thermal strain.; Termomekanisk utmattning; TMF; CGI; LGI; termisk töjning.;

    Abstract : In an engine component the repeated start-stop cycles cause temporal and local inhomogeneous temperatures, which in turn lead to a type of low-frequency loading, plastic deformation and eventually failure due to thermo-mechanical fatigue. Simultaneously, high-frequency mechanical loading arises from the cyclic combustion pressure and from road induced vibrations. READ MORE
