  4. 2. Design of Multifunctional Body Panels for Conflicting Structural and Acoustic Requirements in Automotive Applications

    Author : Christopher John Cameron; Dan Zenkert; Peter Göransson; Per Wennhage; Henry Rice; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Over the past century, the automobile has become an integral part of society, with vastincreases in safety, refinement, and complexity, but most unfortunately in mass. Thetrend of increasing mass cannot be maintained in the face of increasingly stringentregulations on fuel consumption and emissions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Physically Based Engineering Models for NCF Composites

    Author : Fredrik Edgren; Dan Zenkert; Michael WIsnom; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Non-Crimp Fabrics - NCF – are increasingly being used as reinforcements in high performance composite materials. NCF offer the manufacturing advantages from textile preforms in combination with excellent mechanical performance. This study concerns the mechanical performance of NCF composites. READ MORE

  7. 5. Multi-fastener single-lap joints in composite structures

    Author : Johan Ekh; Dan Zenkert; Michael McCarthy; KTH; []
    Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with composite joints. Designing such joints is more difficult than metallic joints due to the mechanical properties of composite materials. Composites are anisotropic and have a limited ability of yielding. READ MORE
