  1. 11. Evaluation of material properties after laser welding on ductile cast iron

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Olivia Taivalkoski; [2019]
    Keywords : Laser welding; ductile cast iron;

    Abstract : Scania wants to lower the weight of their trucks, including the goal to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, and one way to do that is to use laser welding instead of fastenings.This bachelor thesis work is about laser welding of ductile cast iron, or spheroidal graphite cast iron or nodular cast iron, to QT-steels and case hardening steel and evaluation of the mechanical properties of the weld.

  3. 12. 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

  4. 13. Modelling the influence of porosity on fatigue strength of sintered steels

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturkemi

    Author : Emily Hall; [2019]
    Keywords : Fatigue; Powder metallurgy; PM; sintered steels; fracture mechanics; porosity; metal powders; fatigue strength; fatigue limit; utmattning; pulvermetallurgi; metallpulver; utmattningsgräns; brottmekanik; porositet; sintring;

    Abstract : The pores in pressed and sintered components constitute weak points in the material since the stress concentration is larger than the nominal stress there. Therefore, fatigue cracks initiate at the pores. Specifically, it can be assumed that the fatigue cracks initiate at the largest pore in the stressed volume. READ MORE

  5. 14. Vibration Testing of Short Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Ben Morrissey; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Applications of short fibre reinforced polymer composites (SFRPCs) have been rapidly increasing and most of the components made of these materials are subjected to cyclic loading. In automotive applications, “under the hood” is the harshest environmental condition for plastic-based materials with temperatures ranging from -40°C to 120°C. READ MORE

  6. 15. Optimal block loads of dynamic load history for fatigue durability testing

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

    Author : Pedram Hajigholi; [2018]
    Keywords : Fatigue; Optimization;

    Abstract : During a vehicle’s life it is experiencing complex loading from both driving and road conditions. This accumulating of loading might be damaging to the vehicle, leading to possible material fatigue cracking, hence it is a major importance to take it into account. READ MORE
