  2. 11. Joining of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics for Automotive Applications

    Author : Gordon Kelly; KTH; []
    Keywords : Composite; laminate; bearing strength; joining; load introduction; hybrid joint; finite element analysis; mechanical testing;

    Abstract : The introduction of carbon-fibre reinforced plastics in loadbearing automotive structures provides a great potential toreduce vehicle weight and fuel consumption. To enable themanufacture and assembly of composite structural parts,reliable and cost-effective joining technologies must bedeveloped. READ MORE

  4. 12. Material characterisation for crash modelling of composites

    Author : Thomas Bru; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mechanical testing; finite element analysis FEA ; non-crimp fabric NCF ; damage mechanics; carbon fibre composite; crushing;

    Abstract : The transport industry must find solutions to reduce its impact on climate change. A promising way to reduce the weight of vehicles and therefore to reduce the CO2 emissions is to introduce components made of lightweight composite materials, in particular carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs).

  5. 13. Studies of the synovial membrane in chronic rheumatic joint disease

    Author : Erik af Klint; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The synovial membrane (SM) outlines the inner cavity of synovial joints except for cartilage surfaces. The SM is the target organ of immune-mediated responses in chronic arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is a common joint disease (prevalence of 0.5-1. READ MORE

  6. 14. Flexible Composites - Strength, Deformation and Fracture Proecesses in Woven and D.O.S. Reinforcement Materials

    Author : Torbjörn Dartman; Industriell Produktion; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kompositmaterial; Composite materials; Textile materials; Joints; Coated fabrics; Tear strength; Flexible composites; Damage resistance;

    Abstract : In this thesis the tensile strength, deformation, damage resistance and tear propagation for flexible composites are analysed. There are two essential requirements common to all flexible composites; namely, high tearing strength and good matrix-to-fabric adhesion. The interaction of fabric and matrix is complex. READ MORE

  7. 15. Psoriasis and Temporomandibular Joint Involvement in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) : A Longitudinal Study of the Nordic JIA Cohort

    Author : Maria Ekelund; Lillemor Berntson; Boel Andersson Gäre; Anders Fasth; Anders Forslund; Andreas Thor; Josefin Lysell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; arthritis; juvenile idiopathic arthritis; juvenile psoriatic arthritis; temporomandibular arthritis; classification; Pediatrik; Pediatrics; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, JIA, is used as an umbrella term covering a heterogeneous group of chronic arthritis forms in children, many of which have important differences compared to adult arthritis, while others possibly represent similar diseases among children and adults. Classification aims to give a better understanding of the pathogenesis, patterns, disease trajectories and treatment responses. READ MORE
