  2. 1. A Novel Fiber Interaction Method for Simulation of Early Paper Forming

    Author : Gustav Kettil; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fiber suspension flow model; object-object interaction model; contact forces; lay down simulations; paper forming; immersed boundary methods; contact forces;

    Abstract : In the forming section of a paper machine, a fiber suspension is flowing down onto a forming fabric, and a paper structure is formed. By using computer simulations this process can be studied, attaining new knowledge helping to improve paper quality and machine efficiency. READ MORE

  5. 3. 3-D Forming of Paper Materials

    Author : Eric Linvill; Sören Östlund; Artem Kulachenko; Leif A. Carlsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 3-D forming; finite element method; constitutive model; moisture; temperature; biaxial; hydroforming; deep drawing; 3D formning; finita elementmetoden; konstitutiv modell; fukt; temperatur; biaxiell; hydroformning; djupdragning; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Paper materials have a long history of use as a packaging material, although traditional paper-based packaging is limited in its shape, complexity, and design. In order to better understand the deformation and failure mechanisms during 3-D forming, two experimental studies of paper materials have been conducted. READ MORE

  6. 4. Infrared Emittance of Paper : Method Development, Measurements and Application

    Author : Caroline Hyll; Lars Mattsson; Hannes Vomhoff; Carl-Gustaf Ribbing; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Emittance; Emissivity; Thermography; Paper; Sheet; Papermaking; Paper mechanics; Moisture; Material properties; Reflectance; Transmittance; Absorptance; Infrared; Mid-wavelength infrared; MWIR; Long-wavelength infrared; LWIR; Angle-resolved; Directional;

    Abstract : Thermography is a non-destructive technique which uses infrared radiation to obtain the temperature distribution of an object. The technique is increasingly used in the pulp and paper industry. To convert the detected infrared radiation to a temperature, the emittance of the material must be known. READ MORE

  7. 5. Multiscale methods for simulation of paper making
