  2. 1. A study of vehicle fatigue damage predictions based on state estimations

    Author : Ulrika Lagerblad; Artem Kulachenko; Henrik Wentzel; Costas Papadimitriou; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; State estimations; Fatigue damage; Damage predictions; Fixed-lag Kalman Smoother; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Individual health monitoring of heavy vehicles is one of the keystones on which an optimized utility of a vehicle fleet is based. For many components mounted on the chassis of a heavy vehicle, failures due to fatigue is a major concern. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ductile damage modeling of the machining process

    Author : SENAD RAZANICA; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mesh dependence; Johnson-Cook; Ductile fracture; Thermodynamics; Machining simulation; Damage driving energy; Damage evolution; Damage threshold criterion;

    Abstract : Machining processes are among the most common manufacturing processes for producing components used on a daily basis. It is a complex material removal process. Today, the research and development within the manufacturing industry is addressed by cost efficient numerical simulation strategies rather than by costly experimental procedures. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modelling of Forming and Welding in Alloy 718

    Author : Lluís Pérez Caro; Mats Oldenburg; Eva-Lis Odenberger; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Forming; welding; Alloy 718; damage; GISSMO; failure; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : The reduction of fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are currently a key factor for the aviation industry due to major concerns about climate change and more restrictive environmental laws. One way to reduce both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions is by significantly decreasing the vehicle’s weight while increasing engine's efficiency. READ MORE

  6. 4. Macroscale Modelling of 3D-Woven Composites: Inelasticity, Progressive Damage and Final Failure

    Author : Carolyn Oddy; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 3D-woven composites; Anisotropy; Damage; Inelasticity; Phase-field; Failure;

    Abstract : Composites with 3D-woven reinforcement have been slowly making their way into different industrial applications. The interlacement of yarns, not only in-plane but also through-thickness, means that in many applications 3D-woven composites can outperform their laminated counterparts. READ MORE

  7. 5. On numerical analyses of woven composite laminates : Homogenization, damage and fracture

    Author : Juan José Espadas Escalante; Martin Fagerström; Uppsala universitet; []
    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; Engineering science with specialization in Applied Mechanics; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad mekanik;

    Abstract : This dissertation analyzes various mechanical properties of textile reinforced composite laminates.The dissertation is based on a total of six published works, which are essentially numerical, although experimental elements are available. READ MORE
