1. 16. Polymer Aging Mechanics : An investigation on a Thermoset Polymer used in the Exterior Structure of a Heavy-duty Vehicle

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

   Author : Basil Abu-Ragheef; [2019]
   Keywords : polyDicyclopentadiene; aging; thermosets; fatigue; mechanical properties; thermal fatigue; digital image correlation; viscoelasticity; polymer degradation; thermo-oxidation; photo-oxidation;

   Abstract : The use of plastic materials in the design of vehicle components is primarily driven by the need for vehicle weight and cost reduction. Additionally, these materials give design engineers freedom in creating appealing exterior designs. READ MORE

3. 17. An Investigation of Stainless Steels for Long-term Use in Liquid Sodium at up to 700°C

   University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

   Author : Clara Bubenko; Karl Magnil; Melker Olofsson; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The Swedish company Azelio has developed a high-efficient Stirling engine which is powered by solar energy. Since the access of solar power is limited to day-time, Azelio has also developed their own Thermal Energy Storage (TES), which collects and stores solar energy and thereby provides the engine with energy also during night-time.

4. 18. Simulation of Hardening of the MahanaKhon Tower Mat Foundation

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Zakaria Kazi-tani; [2019]
   Keywords : Hydration; MahanaKhon tower; mat foundation; young concrete; temperature development; thermal stresses; cracking; fly ash; finite element analysis; COMSOL Multiphysics; Hydratation; MahanaKhon tower; bottenplatta; ung betong; temperaturutveckling; termiska spänningar; sprickbildning; flygaska; finita elementanalys; COMSOL Multiphysics;

   Abstract : Cement hydration is the result of a series of simultaneous chemical reactions occurring during the production of concrete. An excessive amount of heat is generated, which consequently may give rise to thermal stresses and cause early age cracks in concrete that may affect its structural integrity, and load bearing capacity.

5. 19. Effects of Lattice Strain in Silicon Double Crystal Monochromators

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/MAX IV-laboratoriet

   Author : Johan Eckdahl; [2018]
   Keywords : synchrotron radiation physics max iv maxiv monochromator monochromation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Silicon double crystal monochromators are standard in modern synchrotron hard X-ray beamlines. Their role is reducing a polychromatic photon beam to a small range of wavelengths, typically within a bandwidth of 0.01-0.1%. READ MORE

6. 20. Dilatometry Study of a High-Chromium Cast Iron

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)

   Author : Benjamin Solem; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : High-chromium cast irons are used in certain applications where the demand on abrasion resistance is high. Such applications can be found in the milling industry and in pumps for transport of abrasive particles in liquid suspension. Soft annealed high-chromium cast iron containing 2.6 % C and 24. READ MORE
