  1. 1. Impact of Residual Stress on the Warm Pre-Stressing Effect

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Emil Danielsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Warm Pre-Stressing effect; Residual stress; Cleavage fracture; Ferritic Steel; Fracture mechanics; Varm förspänning; Restspänningar; Klyvbrott; Brottmekanik; Ferritiskt stål;

    Abstract : Irradiation of a reactor pressure vessel (RPV) causes a shift of the ductile to brittle transition region towards higher temperature regions. In the event of a pressurized thermal shock (PTS), where the temperature drops drastically, the ductile to brittle transition region might be entered for irradiated ferritic steel. READ MORE

  3. 2. Tribology of Polymer Composite with Low Load Application for Automotive Industries

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Martin Asuquo; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent times, there has been an increased interest in replacing conventional metals and synthetic fiber composites in various automobile parts with natural fiber polymer composites. These natural fiber composites offer benefits over conventional materials in terms of reduction in weight, lower cost, comparable high specific properties such as specific stiffness and strength, low abrasion property, and availability of these materials.

  4. 3. Performance Evaluation of a High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Under Influence of Groundwater Flow

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Max Hesselbrandt; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent years have seen a growing interest in large-scale high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage (HT-BTES) as a means to store industrial waste heat and solar energy between the seasons. A profound understanding and characterization of the thermal and hydraulic processes involved in such systems is required for the optimal design as well as for environmental assessments of the storage.

  5. 4. Infrared Curing of Glass Fiber Composite Tube : Optimization of the curing cycle

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för maskin- och materialteknik

    Author : Rasmus Fredheim; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis has investigated the possibility of optimizing curing time by changing the energy source from a conventional oven to infrared radiation (IR) and if it is possible to achieve similar results as the company's current production of glass fiber composite tubes.   Many different parameters (time, temperature, heating rate, and rotation speed) might influence a cured composite tube's properties.

  6. 5. Erosion Behaviour of Thermal Barrier Coatings

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Konstruktionsmaterial

    Author : Caroline Wännman; [2021]
    Keywords : erosion; TBC; APS; EB-PVD; PS-PVD; failure mechanisms;

    Abstract : Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are advanced material systems used in the hot sections of gas turbines. The TBCs are designed to provide insulation against hot gases by a ceramic top coat and to provide oxidation and corrosion resistance by a metallic bond coat. READ MORE
