2. 1. Wood fibre deformation in combined shear and compression

   Author : Federica De Magistris; Anders Eriksson; Ola Dahlblom; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Arcan; compression; density; energy; finite element analysis; Iosipescu; Picea abies; shear; wood; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

   Abstract : Mechanical pulping for producing pulps from softwood suitable for printing grade papers, like news, is a highly energy-intensive process consuming around 2000 kWh/t in electrical energy. Due to increasing energy costs and environmental issues there is a high demand for decreasing this energy consumption. READ MORE

4. 2. Wind-turbine wakes - Effects of yaw, shear and turbine interaction

   Author : Elektra Kleusberg; Dan Henningson; Philipp Schlatter; Stefan Ivanell; Johan Meyers; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind-turbine wakes; yaw; tip-vortex breakdown; shear; computational fluid dynamics; actuator-line method; spectral-element method; Vindturbinsvakar; girning; turbulent nedbrott hos spetsvirvlar; skjuvning; vakinteraktion; beräkningsströmningsdynamik; actuator line-metod; spektralelementmetod; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : The actuator-line method is used together with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations to investigate the flow development behind wind turbines. Initial investigations focus on providing a thorough validation of the implementation in the spectral-element flow solver Nek5000 against existing numerical and experimental datasets. READ MORE

5. 3. Assessment of shear and energy‐absorption capacity of reinforced concrete elements under impulsive loads

   Author : Viktor Peterson; Anders Ansell; Mikael Hallgren; Yanyan Sha; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Impulsive loads; impact; blast; shear reinforcement; shear failure; Betongbyggnad; Concrete Structures;

   Abstract : Impulsive loads have been observed to cause brittle shear failure in reinforced concrete elements designed for ductile failure modes under static loads. Brittle failure modes exhibit poorer energy absorption capabilities compared to ductile flexural failure modes due to their limited deformation capacity, leading to premature failure. READ MORE

6. 4. On inelastic local flange buckling

   Author : Mikael Möller; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with inelastic local buckling of I-beam flanges made of steel. The main focus is on the theoretical description of the buckling process, and the influence of various parameters, e.g. the plastic modulus, yield plateau, yield stress etc. READ MORE

7. 5. Energy Absorbing Material Concepts for Automotive Accident Injury Prevention

   Author : Rickard Juntikka; KTH; []
   Keywords : Head impact; energy absorption; cellular materials; automotive; dynamic; pedestrian; interior; compression; shear; finite element analysis; optimisation;

   Abstract : Although automotive safety has experienced a rapiddevelopment during the last decades, traffic related accidentsrank very high in many countries in terms of cause of death.Statistics show that the head is the body region mostfrequently injured in motor vehicle accidents and the primarycause of death is head injuries.
