  2. 1. In-plane tension behaviour of masonry

    Author : Miklos Molnar; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; restrained shrinkage; cracking; movement joints; Building construction; mortar joints; KstrMasonry; masonry; in-plane tension; Byggnadsteknik; murverk; sprickor; krympning; dilatationsfogar;

    Abstract : The main purpose of the present work is to increase knowledge of in-plane tension behav-iour of masonry and develop a model able to describe the impact of parameters influencing cracking caused by restrained shrinkage. In the process the mechanism of load transfer between units and mortar joints is described. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the in-plane mechanical properties of birch plywood

    Author : Tianxiang Wang; Magnus Wålinder; Roberto Crocetti; Bo Källsner; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Birch plywood; in-plane mechanical properties; load-to-face grain angle; failure criteria; size effect; moisture; Björkplywood; mekaniska egenskaper i planet; belastningsvinkel relativt ytfaneren; brott kriterier; storlekseffekt; fukt; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Abstract : Birch plywood has favorable mechanical properties that could be used in new types of connections for timber structures, and thus enable a substitution of the current system with steel plates. Such new connections could result in significant advantages in terms of environmental impact and economy as well as ease of prefabrication and mountability. READ MORE

  5. 3. In-Plane Fracture of Paper

    Author : Johan Tryding; Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; Paper; Fracture energy; Strain softening; Localized damage; Fracture mechanics;

    Abstract : The in-plane failure of paper is studied in this work by means of a cohesive crack model from experimental as well as theoretical perspectives. Localized damage at in-plane tension of short paper strips is studied for low strain rates. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigations of In-Plane Properties of Paperboard

    Author : Anton Hagman; Mikael Nygårds; Bo Westerlind; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In-plane properties of paperboard have always been of interest to paper mechanical researchers. The reason for this is that they play a large role for the usability of the paperboard throughout its lifespan.  Tensile properties are crucial when the board is fed through printing and converting machines at high speeds in the beginning of its life.

  7. 5. Strength of Sandwich Panels Loaded in In-plane Compression

    Author : Anders Lindström; Dan Zenkert; Stefan Hallström; Per-Lennart Larsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sandwich; in-plane compression; energy absorption; debond; postbuckling; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : The use of composite materials in vehicle structures could reduce the weight and thereby the fuel consumption of vehicles. As the road safety of the vehicles must be ensured, it is vital that the energy absorbing capability of the composite materials are similar to or better than the commonly used steel structures.
