2. 1. Inflation Mechanics of Hyperelastic Membranes

   Author : Amit Patil; Anders Eriksson; Arne Nordmark; Reijo Kouhia; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Membrane Mechanics; Inflation; Adhesive Contact; Instabilities; Bifurcation; Limit Point; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Abstract : The applications of inflatable membrane structures are increasing rapidly in the various fields of engineering and science. The geometric, material, force and contact non-linearities complicate this subject further, which in turn increases the demand for computationally efficient methods and interpretations of counter-intuitive behaviors noted by the  scientific community.

4. 2. Computational Nonsmooth Mechanics

   Author : Peter W. Christensen; J.A.C. Martins; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the application of modern methods from the field of mathematical programming for solving certain problems of nonsmooth mechanics. Attention is given to contact problems with friction as well as plasticity problems. READ MORE

5. 3. Discrete element modelling of the mechanical behaviour of lithium-ion battery electrode layers

   Author : Axel Lundkvist; Per-Lennart Larsson; Pär Jonsén; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lithium-ion batteries; mechanical characterisation; simulations; contact mechanics; discrete element method; Litiumjonbatterier; mekanisk karakterisering; simuleringar; kontaktmekanik; diskret elementmetod; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics; Solid Mechanics; Hållfasthetslära;

   Abstract : Since their introduction in the late 20th century, lithium-ion batteries have become the leading battery technology for portable devices and electric vehicles due to their high energy density and rechargeability. However, the increasing demand for a longer battery life span is hindered by the fading of the battery’s charge capacity over prolonged use. READ MORE

6. 4. Towards Automation of Non-Destructive Testing of Welds

   Author : Patrik Broberg; Mikael Sjödahl; Anna Runnemalm; Torbjörn Löfqvist; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Welding; non-destructive testing; NDT; Industriell arbetsvetenskap; Industrial engineering; Experimental Mechanics;

   Abstract : All welding processes can give rise to defects that will weaken the joint and can lead to failure of the welded structure. Because of this, non-destructive testing (NDT) of welds have become increasingly important to ensure the structural integrity when the material becomes thinner and stronger and welds become smaller; all to reduce weight in order to save material and reduce emissions due to lighter constructions.

7. 5. Impact of Icing on Wind Turbines Aerodynamic

   Author : Narges Tabatabaei; Michel Cervantes; Barakos George N.; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

   Abstract : Wind energy covered 11.6% of Europe electricity demand in 2017. Region with cold climates represent a strong potential for wind energy companies because of their sparse population and proper wind conditions. The global wind energy installations in cold climate regions is forecasted to reach a capacity of 186 GW by the end of 2020. READ MORE
