  1. 11. Lateral stabilisation in multi-storey timber volume element buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Elin Jönsson; [2019]
    Keywords : TVE; multi-storey building; timber volume element; lateral stability; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The use of timber volume elements (TVEs) in residential multi-storey buildings is increasing in popularity. Manufacturing methods and building processes have been streamlined to improve product quality. READ MORE

  3. 12. Seismic analysis and retrofitting of an existing multi-storey building in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Matilda Muca; Celine Haikal; [2018]
    Keywords : Earthquakes; seismic analysis; retrofitting; frequency; multi-storey building; shear wall; steel bracing; Jordbävningar; seismisk analys; förbättring av skadade byggnader; flervånings-byggnad; skjuvvägg; stålfackverk;

    Abstract : Throughout the years earthquakes are a huge concern for structures; causing losses of peoples’ lives, damages and collapse of homes. Usually, most of the buildings that collapse or have serious damages are mostly old buildings that do not fulfil any longer the updated regulations and building codes concerning seismic design.

  4. 13. Modelling of failure mechanisms for corrugated board.

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

    Author : Mohamed Haidar; [2015]
    Keywords : paper; corrugated paperboard; FEM; experiments; testing; transverse shear; buckling; energy relations; Reissner-Mindlin;

    Abstract : The present work describes the construction of a semi-analytical model for prediction of buckling loads in simply supported corrugated paperboard panels. The model accounts for transverse shear, due to the weakness of the core in such plates compared to the facings. This was done utilizing energy relations and rst order transverse shear. READ MORE

  5. 14. Dual-Probe Shear Wave Elastography in a Transversely Isotropic Phantom

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Gioia Bassan; [2015]
    Keywords : Shear Wave Elastography; Transversely isotropic phantom;

    Abstract : Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is an ultrasound based technique which is able to measure tissue stiffness through the speed of induced shear waves. Tissue stiffness is often related to pathological conditions and detecting mechanical changes can help the recognition of potential diseases. READ MORE

  6. 15. A Continuum Based Solid Shell Element  Based on EAS and ANS

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Ahmad Mirza Waleed; [2015]
    Keywords : Lagrangian; Finite Strain; Solid Shell Element; Enhanced Assumed Strain.;

    Abstract : This work is a stepping stone towards developing higher order shell element for simulating composite manufacturing procedure. In this study, a continuum approach suitable for combined material and geometrically nonlinear analysis for an eight node solid shell element SS8 is explained. READ MORE
