2. 16. Strengthening reinforced concrete structures with FRP composites

   Author : Jincheng Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GFRP; finite element analysis.; corrosion; interfacial stress; externally bonded reinforcement; self-anchorage; CFRP; debonding; concrete structures; Fibre reinforced polymer; prestressing level;

   Abstract : Civil infrastructures made of reinforced concrete (RC) play an important role in the economic activities and services of society. However, signs of deterioration and functional deficiency are commonly found in existing RC structures. Thus, there is a great demand for upgrading the capacity and performance of existing concrete structures. READ MORE

4. 17. Design for manufacturing : methods and applications using knowledge engineering

   Author : Marcus Sandberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Funktionella produkter; Functional Product Development;

   Abstract : As companies strive to develop artefacts intended for services instead of traditional sell-off, new challenges in the product development process arise to promote continuous improvement and increasing market profits. This creates a focus on product life-cycle components as companies then make life-cycle commitments, where they are responsible for the function availability during the extent of the life-cycle, i.

5. 18. Finite element modelling of hydroelasticity in hull-water impacts

   Author : Ivan Stenius; Dan Zenkert; Pennny Temarel; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fluid-structure interaction; hydroelasticity; hull-water impact; high-speed craft; slamming; explicit finite element methods; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : The work in this thesis focuses on the use of explicit finite element analysis (FEA) in the modelling of fluid-structure interaction of panel-water impacts. Paper A, considers modelling of a two-dimensional rigid wedge impacting a calm water surface. READ MORE

6. 19. Thermo-mechanical Assessment of Reactor Pressure Vessels of Light Water Reactors During Severe Accidents

   Author : Hongdi Wang; Walter Villanueva; Sevostian Bechta; Weimin Ma; Artem Kulachenko; Michael Fitzpatrick; KTH; []
   Keywords : Severe accident scenario; reactor pressure vessel; in-vessel melt retention; failure analysis; finite element analysis; validations; Scenario för svåra haverier; reaktortank; in-vessel retention; feleffektsanalys; Finite Element Analyser; validering; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) is one of the crucial safety barriers designed to isolate the reactor core, safeguarding against potential radioactive releases into the environment during a severe accident. The assessment of RPV behaviour and its failure is necessary to predict the characteristics of melt release into the reactor pit and succeeding ex-vessel accident progression. READ MORE

7. 20. RoPax Ship Collision – a Methodology for Survivability Analysis

   Author : Per Hogström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-linear FEA; failure modelling; uncertainty analysis; Crashworthiness; sheet metal failure; ship collision; damage stability;

   Abstract : Throughout the world, ships are continuously being declared as total losses and 10 to 15% of these accidents are collisions between ships. The consequences of a collision are diverse and depend on the ship type, e.g. oil outflow in the case of damaged tankers or loss of stability in damaged passenger ships. READ MORE
