2. 1. Multi-Functional Composite Design Concepts for Rail Vehicle Car Bodies

   Author : David Wennberg; Sebastian Stichel; Per Wennhage; Thilo Bein; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Car body; Composite; Finite element; Lightweight; Multi-discipline; Multi-functional; Optimisation; Rail Vehicles; Sandwich Panels;

   Abstract : Structures and material combinations, tailored for multiple purposes, are within the reach of vehicle manufacturers. Besides reducing the environmental impact of the transportation sector these multi-functional structures can reduce costs, such as development, manufacturing and maintenance, and at the same time offer improved comfort to the passengers.

4. 2. Design fires in underground hard rock mines

   Author : Rickard Hansen; Haukur Ingason; Håkan Frantzich; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : Design fire; underground; hard rock mine; vehicle fire; smoke spread; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : During several decades considerable research activities have been conducted with respect to fires in coal mines, but the research activities with respect to hard rock mines have been limited. As the hard rock mines are getting more complex the need for deeper understanding of fires in underground hard rock mines are getting more in demand. READ MORE

5. 3. Composites for commercial ships

   Author : Måns Håkansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design; ship; composites; commercial vessels; optimization; weight reduction; cost-efficient design;

   Abstract : Composite materials have been used in marine applications for more than 50 years, and benefits such as low weight, low maintenance requirements and freedom of design are well known. A wider use of composites in larger, commercial vessels has been limited by initial costs and fire regulations, but both of these obstacles are diminishing. READ MORE

6. 4. Application of a Sandwich Construction on a Superstructure of a High Speed Ferry

   Author : Gaurav Ahuja; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; catamaran; pitch connecting moment; carbon fibre; natural frequency analysis; light weight structure; structural optimisation.; torsional moment; glass fibre; Sandwich construction; finite element analysis;

   Abstract : Usage of light weight materials has gained momentum in the marine market in the last few decades. This rise has lead to some ships using parts fabricated out of materials like glass and carbon fibre. READ MORE

7. 5. Sound transmission properties of honeycomb panels and double-walled structures

   Author : Sathish Kumar Ramanathan; Leping Feng; Ulf Orrenius; Bilong Liu; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Sandwich panels with aluminium face sheets and honeycomb core material have certain advantages over panels made of wood. Some of the advantages of these constructions are low weight, good moisture properties, fire resistance and high stiffness to-weight ratio etc. READ MORE
