2. 1. Analysis of transverse composite cross-ply laminates

   Author : Janis Varna; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Polymera konstruktionsmaterial; Polymeric Composite Materials;

   Abstract : Advanced polymer composites are commonly based on thin prepreg plies stacked at different angles to form a laminate. When the laminate is loaded, intralaminar transverse cracking in off-axis plies is one of the first damage modes. In the presented thesis, cross-ply laminates are used to study the transverse cracking phenomenon. READ MORE

4. 2. Recyclable self-reinforced ductile fiber composite materials for structural applications

   Author : Christof Schneider; Dan Zenkert; Sohrab Kazemahvazi; Malin Åkermo; Ignace Verpoest; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Self-reinforced polymer; Composite; sandwich structure; mechanical properties; impact behaviour; finite element; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Abstract : Lightweight structures in vehicles are a proven way to reduce fuel consumption and the environmental impact during the use. Lower structural weight can be achieved by using high performance materials such as composites or using the material efficiently as a sandwich structure. READ MORE

6. 4. Continuous Fibre Reinforced Oxide/Oxide Composites

   Author : Magnus Holmquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polycrystalline oxide fibre; zirconia; single crystal oxide fibre; hot isostatic pressing; hot pressing; alumina; mullite; sapphire; tape casting; interface; VibroIntrusion; interphase; continuous fibre reinforced ceramic composite; mechanical properties; oxide fibre; ceramic matrix composite;

   Abstract : The appealing properties of ceramics include retention of strength and hardness at high temperatures, chemical inertness and low density. However, monolithic ceramics fail in a brittle, unpredictable manner making them unsuitable for many applications where reliability is a key requirement. READ MORE

7. 5. Mechanical Characterization of Heterogeneous Brittle Materials

   Author : Laura Suarez; Pär Jonsén; Jörgen Kajberg; Simon Larsson; Lars-Olof Nordin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

   Abstract : Comminution is one of the highest energy-consuming processes in the mining and mineral processing industry by consuming around 2% of the global generated energy with an overall efficiency of 1-3%. Different approaches to the optimization of processes have been developed, but there is still room for improvement. READ MORE
