2. 1. 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

4. 2. Strength Design Methods for Laminated Glass

   Author : Maria Fröling; Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : In this thesis, methods for efficiently determining stresses in laminated glass structures are developed and tested. The laminated glass structures comprise both bolted and adhesive joints. A recently developed finite element is suggested to be suitable for the modeling of laminated glass structures. The element is implemented and tested. READ MORE

5. 3. Adhesive Joints in Timber Engineering. Modelling and Testing of Fracture Properties

   Author : Erik Serrano; Byggnadsmekanik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wood; test method; tensile strength; stress distribution; size effect; numerical simulation; laminating effect; laminated beams; joint; glued-laminated timber; glued-in rod; fracture mechanics; finite element method; finger-joint; experiment; damage; constitutive modelling; adhesive; bending strength; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Construction technology; Anläggningsteknik; Material technology; Materiallära; materialteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis, which is a compilation of seven papers, concerns the mechanical testing, numerical analysis and constitutive modelling of wood-adhesive bonds in timber engineering. Applications such as finger-joints, glued-laminated timber and glued-in rods are considered. READ MORE

6. 4. Strengthening of timber structures with flax fibres

   Author : Alann Andre; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

   Abstract : The natural defects present in timber are the source of large variations in mechanical properties. This drawback has been partially counteracted with the use of Engineered Wood Products EWP (glulam, composite I-beam, parallel strand lumber, etc.) instead of solid wood. READ MORE

7. 5. Modelling 3D-woven composites on the macroscale: Predicting damage initiation and inelastic phenomena

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

   Abstract : Composites with 3D-woven reinforcement have been slowly making their way into different industries. 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
