  1. 11. Analysis of Catenary Shaped Timber Structures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik

    Author : Kristoffer Persson; [2018]
    Keywords : Timber construction; Caternary structures; Tensile timber roof; Stress ribbon; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. READ MORE

    Keywords : fibre reinforced composite; truss structure; lightweight; renewable energy; wind turbines; rotor blades; adhesive; finite element method; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A globally growing population, an increased energy consumption and growing environmental awareness have made the interest for renewable energy sources, such as wind power, higher. As a result of the increased demand the need for new and improved technologies have increased. READ MORE

  4. 13. Buckling and geometric nonlinear FE analysis of pitched large-spanroof structure of wood

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Ivan Filchev; [2016]
    Keywords : wood; truss; instability; numerical analyses; bracing;

    Abstract : An arched structure provides an effective load carrying system for large span structures. When it comes to long span roof structures, timber arches are one of the best solutions from both structural and aesthetical point of view. Glulam arched structures are often designed using slender elements due to economic consideration. READ MORE

  5. 14. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF TRUSS CONSTRUCTION FOR WIND TURBINE BLADES

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

    Author : Björn Weddig; [2016]
    Keywords : Wind turbine blade; FRP; Truss system; Instability; Buckling; Non-Linear; Eigenvalue problem; Frequency response analysis; Transient dynamic response; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The usage of wind turbines during the latest years has grown substantially and are becoming an increasingly important source of renewable energy, as many countries are trying to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. In order to increase the effect of the wind turbines the length of the blades has been increased, which has also led to an increase of the cross-section dimensions. READ MORE

  6. 15. Strengthening of I-girder bridges : Fatigue endurance

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Olle Edström; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Structures have always been subjected to the detrimental consequences of the fatigue phenomenon. The consequences due to this damaging effects leads to crack initiation and the ultimate result being complete failure. Fatigue appears on structures that has to endure fluctuating loads over a long period. READ MORE
