  2. 1. Computational homogenisation and solution strategies for phase-field fracture

    Author : Ritukesh Bharali; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; irreversibility; multi-scale; slack variable; micromorphic; quasi-brittle; brittle; phase-field fracture; homogenisation;

    Abstract : The computational modelling of fracture not only provides a deep insight into the underlying mechanisms that trigger a fracture but also offers information on the post-fracture behaviour (e.g., residual strength) of engineering materials and structures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Multiscale Modelling of Reinforced Concrete

    Author : Adam Sciegaj; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multiscale; bond-slip; cracking; computational homogenisation; reinforced concrete;

    Abstract : Since concrete cracks at relatively low tensile stresses, the durability of reinforced concrete structures is highly influenced by its brittle nature. Cracks open up for ingress of harmful substances, e.g. chlorides, which in turn cause corrosion of the reinforcement. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thermo-Mechanical-Metallurgical Modelling of Pearlitic Steels and Railhead Repair Welding

    Author : Björn Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pearlitic steels; Railhead repair; Welding simulations; Phase transformations; Cyclic plasticity; Finite element analysis; Homogenisation;

    Abstract : The efficiency of rail transport is attributed to low rolling resistance, which comes at the cost of high contact pressures between rail and wheel. Consequently, both the rail and wheel can be susceptible to fatigue crack initiation and propagation due to the resulting high stresses and large number of load cycles in service. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multiscale Modelling of Reinforced Concrete Structures

    Author : Adam Sciegaj; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cracking; reinforced concrete; computational homogenisation; bond-slip; multiscale;

    Abstract : Concrete cracks at relatively low tensile stresses; cracks open up for ingress of harmful substances, negatively affecting the durability of reinforced concrete structures. Crack widths are thus limited in the design codes, and accurate predictions are needed, especially for large reinforced concrete structures such as bridges or nuclear reactor containment buildings.

  7. 5. Microstructure Modelling of Additive Manufacturing of Alloy 718

    Author : Chamara Kumara; Per Nylén; Johan Moverare; Lars-Erik Lindgren; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Phase-Field Modelling; Additive Manufacturing; Phase Transformation; Solidification; Heat Treatment; Superalloy; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik;

    Abstract : In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM) of Alloy 718 has received increasing interest in the field of manufacturing engineering because of its attractive features compared with those of conventional manufacturing methods. Nevertheless, owing to the inherent nature of the process, the build material is exposed to complex thermal conditions that affect the microstructure. READ MORE
