  2. 1. Linear and Non-Linear Analysis of Plates and Shells by Use of Morley Finite Elements

    Author : Ulrika Wendt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; explicit dynamic formulation; adaptive methods; Shells Morley element; plates; Germain-Kirchhoff plate theory; finite element method; mixed plate formulation;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with plate bending analysis and shell analysis in static linear and dynamic non-linear situations. The thesis contains two parts. In common for them is the use of the Germain-Kirchhoff plate theory, constant strain, constant curvature triangular plate elements and adaptive improvement of original solution. READ MORE

  4. 2. Zone Plates for Hard X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers

    Author : Daniel Nilsson; Ulrich Vogt; Thomas Tschentscher; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray optics; Zone plates; XFEL; x-rays; free-electron laser; heat transfer;

    Abstract : Hard x-ray free-electron lasers are novel sources of coherent x-rays with unprecedented brightness and very short pulses. The radiation from these sources enables a wide range of new experiments that were not possible with previous x-ray sources. Many of these experiments require the possibility to focus the intense x-ray beam onto small samples. READ MORE

  5. 3. Dynamic Anisotropic and Piezoelectric Plate Equations - A Power Series Approach with Recursion Relations among the Expansion Functions

    Author : Karl Mauritsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piezoelectricity; Plate equations; Anisotropy; Plates; Recursion relations; Power series expansions; Thin layers; Hamilton s principle; Laminates;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is dynamics of plates. Both anisotropic elastic plates, piezoelectric plates, thin piezoelectric layers on elastic plates and elastic laminates are considered. Piezoelectric materials are often used in sensors and actuators and common applications for these are vibration control and ultrasonic transducers. READ MORE

  6. 4. Nanofabrication of Zone Plates for Hard X-Ray Free-Electron Lasers

    Author : Fredrik Uhlén; Ulrich Vogt; Thomas Wilhein; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray optics; Zone plates; Nanofabrication; X-ray free-electron lasers; Fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : This Thesis describes the development of hard X-ray zone plates intended for focusing radiation at X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs). XFELs provide unprecedented brightness and zone plates which are put in the intense X-ray beam are at risk of being damaged. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Gas Contaminants, and Bipolar Plates in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

    Author : Yasna Acevedo Gomez; Carina Lagergren; Göran Lindbergh; Rakel Wreland Lindström; Qinfeng Li; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PEM fuel cell; contaminants; ammonia; nitrogen dioxide; degradation; recovery; bipolar plates; electroplating; Ni-Mo; Ni-Mo-P; internal contact resistance; PEM bränslecell; föroreningar; ammoniak; kvävedioxid; degradering; återhämtning; bipolära plattor; elektroplätering; Ni-Mo; Ni-Mo-P; interna kontaktmotståndet; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through two electrocatalytic reactions. The most common catalyst used is platinum on carbon (Pt/C), which has shown the best performance in the fuel cell until now. READ MORE
