  2. 1. Thermal Barrier Coatings : Durability Assessment and Life Prediction

    Author : Robert Eriksson; Sten Johansson; Michael Schütze; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are coating systems containing a metallic bond coat and a ceramic top coat. TBCs are used in gas turbines for thermal insulation and oxidation resistance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Durability and Long-term Performance of Adhesively Bonded FRP/steel Joints

    Author : Mohsen Heshmati; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; FRP steel joints; durability; fibre reinforced polymer; cohesive zone modelling; long-term performance; adhesively bonded joints; moisture diffusion;

    Abstract : Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites offer excellent properties, such as high specific strength and stiffness, corrosion resistance and light weight. Over the past four decades, FRPs have been increasingly used for strengthening and repair of bridge structures, and more recently, in the manufacture of whole/hybrid FRP bridges. READ MORE

  5. 3. Durability of timber members : Moisture conditions and service life assessment of bridge detailing

    Author : Jonas Niklewski; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
    Keywords : wood; spruce; moisture; durability; decay; service life; detailing; model;

    Abstract : The longevity of timber structures in exposed outdoor environments is often perceived to be unreliable as compared with that of concrete and steel structures. This situation is exacerbated to some extent by the fact that the European commission for standardization (CEN) currently provides no quantitative method for service life assessment of timber structures.

  6. 4. Synchronous Belt Mechanics and Durability - An Investigation Towards Life Prediction

    Author : Tomas Johannesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; load distribution model; synchronous; camshaft drives; mathematical modelling; timing; belt; dynamic; wear; simulation; automotive; belt life prediction;

    Abstract : An automotive synchronous belt transmits power and assures accurate timing between the crankshaft and camshafts. The automotive industry is very competitive: there is constant pressure to increase performance and lower costs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Assessment of service lives in the design of buildings

    Author : Björn Marteinsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : factor methds; service life prediction; durability; degradation; tool for decision making;

    Abstract : The built environment usually constitutes a very importantpart of the real capital of a nation and the constructionsector represents more than 10% of the yearly Gross NationalProduct of the industrialised world. The importance of goodplanning of all construction, where the service life of thework is considered, is of great interest and an importantaspect in sustainability considerations. READ MORE
