  2. 1. Induction heating of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites : Characterization and modelling

    Author : Fredrik Lundström; Industriell Produktion; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Carbon fibre reinforced polymers; Induction heating; Material characterization; Thermal properties; Electrical conductivity; Numerical modelling;

    Abstract : Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are lightweight materials with great potential due to their high strength and stiffness relative to their weight. This enables weight reduction in, for example, vehicles, which is important in reducing energy consumption. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Beams using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer

    Author : Yasmeen Obaidat; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis details experimental work and finite element simulations of reinforced concrete beams retrofitted with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). The objectives of this study were to investigate the behaviour of retrofitted beams experimentally, develop a finite element model describing the beams, verifying the finite element model against the experimental results and finally investigating the influence of different parameters on the behaviour of the retrofitted beams.

  5. 3. Benefits of strengthening timber with fibre-reinforced polymers

    Author : Alann André; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental results; Carbon; Timber; Tension perpendicular to the grain; Ductility; Flax; Reinforcement; Compression failure parallel to the grain; Kinkband; Composite materials; Numerical model; Analytical model; FRP;

    Abstract : As a material, timber offers a wide range of alternatives in terms of structural applications. The natural defects present in timber are, however, the source of large variations in mechanical properties. READ MORE

  6. 4. Influence of liquid diffusion on the performance of polymer materials in industrial applications

    Author : Stefanie Römhild; Mikael Hedenqvist; Lars Berglund; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LCP; Vectra A950; thermoset resin; FRP; diffusion; disclination; annealing; lining; bonding; long-term properties in water; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Diffusion of liquids into and through polymers is an important factor that negatively may influence the durability or lifetime of a polymer structure used in industrial applications. In this work two types of polymers, a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP, Vectra A950) and various thermoset resins as used in fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) process equipment were studied with regard to barrier properties, chemical resistance and long-term performance.

  7. 5. Development of connections for fibre reinforced bridge elements and an analysis of sustainability

    Author : Valbona Mara; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bridge; insert; connection; deck; FRP; bolt; joint; fibre reinforced polymer; LCC; LCA;

    Abstract : The deterioration of existing bridge structures due to a number of causes has led researchersto pursue new construction materials with high performance, such as fibre reinforced polymer(FRP) composite materials. The inherent properties of FRP materials are their light weight,high strength and high resistance to aggressive environments. READ MORE
