  1. 1. Size effect in wood : Characterization of mechanical properties using digital image correlation method

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Amir Saeidi; Olafur Johannsson; [2023]
    Keywords : compression test longitudinal direction; digital image corre- lation DIC ; ncorr; phyton; pinewood; size effect; stiffness matrix; wood- construction; YAWCAM; young’s modulus; digital image correlation DIC ; elasticitetsmodul; furu; kom- pressionstest längs fiberriktning; ncorr; phyton; storlekseffekt; styvhetsma- tris; trä-konstruktion; YAWCAM;

    Abstract : As a natural composite material, wood exhibits complex structural char-acteristics and diverse behavior under compression and tensile forces. Itsanisotropic nature results in mechanical properties that vary depending onthe load direction along its longitudinal, tangential, and radial grains. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigation of charge injection at electrode-dielectric interface relevant for HVDC cables : Simulation of charge injection and transport dynamics in electrical insulation for HVDC cables

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Mohammed Mosa; [2023]
    Keywords : BCT model; charge injection; space charge density; electric field distribution; Fowler-Nordheim; Richardson-Schottky;

    Abstract : A bipolar charge transport (BCT) model is used to simulate charge injection and transportdynamics inside insulation material which are used in a high voltage direct current (HVDC)cable. Gaining knowledge about space charge density and electric field distribution in theinsulation material enables minimising charge injection at the metal-insulator interface andavoiding unnecessary energy loss.

  4. 3. Wet Spinning of Cellulose-Lignin Precursor for Carbon Fibers : Effect of Coagulation Bath Composition & Spin Finish

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Julia Sundmark; [2023]
    Keywords : Carbon fiber; Cold alkali; Cold NaOH; lignin; cellulose; wet spinning; Kolfiber; kallalkali; lignin; cellulosa; våtspinning;

    Abstract : Carbon fibers (CF) are a material with a composition of over 90% carbon, which has high mechanical properties and low density. This unique combination of properties makes it requirable in applications such as vehicles, aerospace, wind power, and space industries. Commercially made CF are made using the fossil raw material polyacrylonitrile (PAN). READ MORE

  5. 4. Thermal Analysis of Tap- Changers

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Daniel Lundberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal analysis; COMSOL; tap-changers; heat transfer;

    Abstract : This thesis provides a way of mapping the temperature development of the tap-changer oil for some different standardized loading cases. The project was in collaboration with Hitachi Energy for one of their production cites situated in Ludvika, Sweden. The software used for the simulation environment was COMSOL 6.1 which is a finite element solver. READ MORE

  6. 5. Product Line Optimization of Force Transducers : Replacing R87 with R03 in Strip Tension Systems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Pedram Esmailzadeh Anari; [2023]
    Keywords : Force Transducers; Load Cells; Magnetoelasticity; Pressductor; Strip Tension Systems; Mechanical Simulations; Thermal Simulations; Prototype Testing;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to investigate the potential of replacing the material 1.4418 (R87), currently used in ABB's PFCL201 load cells, with the material 1.402 (R03). READ MORE
