  2. 1. Wheels, Rails and Insulated Joints - Damage and Failure Probability at High Speed and Axle Load

    Author : Johan Sandström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rail breaks; probability; railway mechanics; contact mechanics; insulated joints; defects; fatigue;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with some fatigue related problems in railway mechanics related to increased axle loads and speeds. The focus is on defects and discontinuities in the wheel--rail system that affect the risk of fatigue and fracture of railway components such as wheels, rails and insulated joints. READ MORE

  4. 2. Analysis of rail breaks and insulated joint deterioration

    Author : Johan Sandström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rail breaks; Heavy Haul; Insulated joints; Wheel flats; Railway mechanics; Material fatigue;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with fatigue related issues in the field of railway mechanics. In particular rail breaks and deterioration of insulating joints are investigated. The study is largely motivated by plans to increase allowed axle loads in Sweden. READ MORE

  5. 3. Strength Design Methods for Glass Structures

    Author : Maria Fröling; Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element; computational techniques; laminated glass; stress concentration factor; design chart; bolt fixing; adhesive joint; balustrade; shear-capacity; dynamic impulse load; insulated glass;

    Abstract : In this thesis, user friendly and efficient methods for the design of glass structures are developed. The glass structures comprise various boundary conditions. Several types of glass are considered: single layered glass as well as laminated and insulated glass units. Typical load cases for strength design of glass are applied. READ MORE

  6. 4. Durability of District Heating Pipes

    Author : Stefan Forsaeus Nilsson; RISE; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reuse of excavated material; district heating pipe; moisture diffusion; pipe joint; stone indentation; polyurethane foam; polyethylene; district heat distribution; long-term strength; buried pipe;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on mechanical loads and moisture related problems with a potential to critically harm the functionality of pre-insulated district heating pipes and pipe joints. Directly buried pipeline bends are investigated with respect to limiting deformations from a thermally induced lateral displacement. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Estimation of Moisture Content in Mass Impregnated Distribution Cables

    Author : Roberts Neimanis; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mass impregnated paper insulated cables in distributionnetworks (6-33 kV) nowadays are gradually being replaced byXLPE insulated cables, yet, the percentage of mass impregnatedcables in distribution networks is still considerable. Thisreplacement is a long-term strategy, where right timing,properly made investments, etc. play crucial role. READ MORE
