  2. 1. Mechanical behaviour of a roller bearing steel : Strength differential effect, low temperature creep and propagation of short cracks

    Author : Irene Linares Arregui; Bo Alfredsson; Nils-Gunnar Ohlson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Fatigue cracks in bearings either initiate from the surface or from an inclusion below the rolling contact surface. Then, short cracks start to propagate. Short crack grow at considerably faster rates than long cracks subjected to a nominally equivalent stress intensity factor range. READ MORE

  4. 2. On efficient modelling of progressive damage in composite laminates using an equivalent single-layer approach

    Author : Johannes Främby; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crash simulation; CFRP; adaptive delamination modelling; XFEM;

    Abstract : In order to reduce the weight and subsequently the fuel consumption of their vehicles, the automotive industry is currently very active in research to incorporate laminated composites of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) into structural components. This effort is a reaction to the increasing demands from regulatory bodies aimed at reducing the CO2 emissions from the transportation sector. READ MORE

  5. 3. Improving Fuel Efficiency of Commercial Vehicles through Optimal Control of Energy Buffers

    Author : Mohammad Khodabakhshian; Jan Wikander; Lei Feng; Johan Ölvander; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy buffer; Optimal control; Hybrid electric vehicle; Engine cooling system; Equivalent consumption minimization strategy; Model predictive control; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Fuel consumption reduction is one of the main challenges in the automotiveindustry due to its economical and environmental impacts as well as legalregulations. While fuel consumption reduction is important for all vehicles,it has larger benefits for commercial ones due to their long operational timesand much higher fuel consumption. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vibration Frequencies as Status Indicators for Tensegrity Structures

    Author : Nasseradeen Ashwear; Anders Eriksson; Karl-Gunnar Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tensegrity; Pre-stress; Vibration; Health monitoring; Buckling; Temperature effect; Vibration health monitoring VHM; Tensegritet; Förspänning; Vibration; Hälsokontroll; Knäckning; Temperatureffekt; Vibrationsbaserad hälsokontroll; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract :  Applications of vibration structural health monitoring (VHM) techniques are increasing rapidly. This is because of the advances in sensors and instrumentation during the last decades. VHM uses the vibration properties to evaluate many civil structures during the design steps, building steps and service life. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling of Elasticity and Damping for Filled Elastomers

    Author : Per Erik Austrell; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rheological models; contact-free strain measurement; modified hardness test; solid dumbbell test specimen; mechanical conditioning; strain energy plot; hyperelasticity; carbon-black-filled rubbers; amplitude dependence; multiaxial viscoplastic model; Building construction; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : Elasticity and damping are significant properties of rubber, taken advantage of in engineering applications. It is therefore important that the constitutive model accurately captures these aspects of the mechanical behavior. READ MORE
