2. 1. Modelling of large deformation crack propagation based on the extended finite element method

   Author : Martin Fagerström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crack propagation; strong discontinuities; material crack driving force; FEM; cohesive zone;

   Abstract : This thesis is concerned with the finite element modelling of large deformation crack propagation, based on the extended finite element methodology. The benefit from this approach is the possibility of locally enriching the finite element space, i.e. to add a priori knowledge about the local behaviour of the solution in order to improve accuracy.

4. 2. On Cohesive Modelling of Carbon/Epoxy Composites : Delamination and Fibre Compressive Failure

   Author : Daniel Svensson; Ulf Stigh; Bent Sørensen; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFRP; Cohesive zone model; J-integral; LEFM; Delamination; Compressive failure; Technology; Teknik; Mechanics of Materials; Materialmekanik;

   Abstract : Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers are widely used in engineering applications where weight saving and high mechanical performance are a key factors. However, an inheren tweakness of laminated CFRP:s is there relatively low resistance to delamination. Therst part of this thesis is devoted to extract cohesive laws associated with delamination.

5. 3. Microstructure and deformation behaviour of ductile iron under tensile loading

   Author : Keivan Amiri Kasvayee; Anders E.W. Jarfors; Ehsan Ghassemali; Lennart Elmquist; Kenneth Hamberg; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ductile iron; digital image correlation DIC ; in-situ tensile test; pit etching; Microscale deformation; micro-crack; finite elements analysis FEA ; cohesive elements;

   Abstract : The current thesis focuses on the deformation behaviour and strain distribution in the microstructure of ductile iron during tensile loading. Utilizing Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and in-situ tensile test under optical microscope, a method was developed to measure high resolution strain in microstructural constitutes. READ MORE

6. 4. Dynamic Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Structures: Analyses with a Strong Discontinuity Approach

   Author : Per-Ola Svahn; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ; reinforcement; concrete; cohesive crack; anisotropic damage; X-FEM;

   Abstract : Reinforced concrete is a widely used construction material. To obtain efficient design of new structures and to verify the real mechanical behaviour of existing ones, it is necessary to improve the understanding of advanced structural analyses of reinforced concrete structures.

7. 5. Computational modeling of oxygen-assisted fracture in nickel-based superalloys

   Author : Kim Louisa Auth; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Stress-assisted diffusion; Intergranular fracture; Crack growth rate; Crystal plasticity; Moving boundary condition.; Crack propagation; Grain boundaries; Polycrystal;

   Abstract : Nickel-based superalloys are a commonly used material in applications where high strength is required at high temperatures. A typical such example is jet engines and, in the case of polycrystalline nickel-based superalloys, components like turbine disks. READ MORE
