2. 1. Prestress and its application to shell, fabric, and cable net structures

   Author : Alexander Sehlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geometric stiffness; Form finding; Conceptual design; Stress pattern; Engineering; Prestress; Architecture; Structuraldesign;

   Abstract : Prestressing and shells provide means to create material-efficient and well-functioning structures, as do their combination, offering opportunities for increased material efficiency within the built environment. Prestressing introduces stresses in an object to enhance its performance, and shells include concrete shells, masonry vaults, fabric structures, cable nets, and timber or steel gridshells.

4. 2. Performance Evaluation of machine tools : A methodology for loaded testing of machine tools

   Author : Theodoros Laspas; Andreas Archenti; Amir Rashid; Atsushi Matsubara; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Machine tool; loaded test; quasi-static stiffness; accuracy; stiffness measurement; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

   Abstract : Machine tools comprise the basic elements of manufacturing. Evaluationof their performance and reliability are necessary for ensuring productquality. READ MORE

5. 3. Laser-welded corrugated core steel sandwich panels for bridge application

   Author : Peter Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; shear stiffness; corrugated core; laser-welding; joint geometry; sandwich panel;

   Abstract : The design of steel bridge decks has remained unchanged since the introduction of orthotropic decks. Orthotropic decks are expensive to produce, mainly due to high labor-costs. READ MORE

6. 4. Prestress in Nature and Technics

   Author : Alexander Sehlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geometrical stiffness; Prestress; Form finding; Architecture; Structural design; Stress pattern; Engineering; Conceptual design;

   Abstract : To direct the forces of nature is a central task in the creation of spaces and load-carrying structures for architecture. This research investigates how prestress can be used as a design tool for the creation of material efficient and well-functioning structures, and in early design stages contribute to sustainable, functional and beautiful architecture.

7. 5. High performance hybrid mixed elements using orthogonal stress interpolants and scaling of the higher order stiffness

   Author : Anders Sundin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : During the evolution of the finite element method, formulations based on the principle of minimum potential energy have dominated the scene. These formulations employ an assumed displacement field within each element which must preserve continuity of displacements between adjacent elements. READ MORE
