  2. 21. Comprehensive numerical analysis of stress state in adhesive layer of joint including thermal residual stress and material non-linearity

    Author : Nawres Jabar Al-Ramahi; Roberts Joffe; Janis Varna; Lars Mikkelsen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Single-lap adhesive joint; Double-lap adhesive joint; Unbalanced bi-material DCB; Residual thermal stresses; Finite element method; Crack path; Crack closure; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera kompositmaterial;

    Abstract : The main objective of this work is to improve understanding of the stress state in the adhesive layer of bonded joints and identify key parameters which govern performance of adhesive joints. This information is crucial for the prediction of the failure initiation and propagation with the further estimation of the durability and strength of adhesively bonded structures. READ MORE

    Abstract : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. READ MORE

  5. 23. Benefits of strengthening timber with fibre-reinforced polymers

    Author : Alann André; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental results; Carbon; Timber; Tension perpendicular to the grain; Ductility; Flax; Reinforcement; Compression failure parallel to the grain; Kinkband; Composite materials; Numerical model; Analytical model; FRP;

    Abstract : As a material, timber offers a wide range of alternatives in terms of structural applications. The natural defects present in timber are, however, the source of large variations in mechanical properties. READ MORE

  6. 24. Cracking in Reinforced Concrete Structures Due to Imposed Deformations

    Author : Agnes Nagy; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; minimum reinforcement; cracking; softening; shrinkage; cooling; imposed deformations; conversion formula; static E-modulus; damping coefficient; resonance frequency; dynamic E-modulus; constitutive model; thermal stress; hydration process; reinforced concrete structure; early age; crack control; Building construction; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with modeling of the cracking process in reinforced concrete due to imposed deformations. Cracking is investigated both at early ages, during hydration, and at mature age when the final properties of the concrete are reached. READ MORE

  7. 25. Oxidation induced failure of superalloys: High temperature crack growth and oxide scale properties

    Author : Anand Harihara Subramonia Iyer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; micromechanical testing; crack growth; Nickel superalloys; scanning electron microscopy; focused ion beam microscopy;

    Abstract : Gas turbine materials are designed to work in extreme environments in high temperature with an oxidising environment and variable mechanical loading. The study of high temperature fatigue properties of these materials is therefore important. READ MORE
