  1. 21. Capacity assessment of arch bridges with backfill : Case of the old Årsta railway bridge

    Författare :Andreas Andersson; Håkan Sundquist; Raid Karoumi; Clive Melbourne; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete arch bridge; soil backfill; spandrel walls; field measurements; finite element method; load distribution; ultimate limit state.; Betongbågbro; jordfyllning; sidomur; fältmätningar; finita element metoder; lastspridning; brottgränstillstånd.; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis comprises the assessment of existing arch bridges with overlying backfill. The main objective is to estimate the load carrying capacity in ultimate limit state analysis. A case study of the old Årsta railway bridge is presented, serving as both the initiation and a direct application of the present research. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Microstructure-based Mechanical Behaviour in Structural Analyses of Cast Components

    Författare :Jakob Olofsson; Ingvar L. Svensson; Salem Seifeddine; Torsten Sjögren; Jönköping University; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Component behaviour; Structural analysis; Mechanical behaviour; Casting process simulation; Finite element method simulation;

    Sammanfattning : In the process of developing cast iron and cast aluminium components, the co-operation between product development and production is important. On the engineering level, this co-operation is limited already in the product development phase e.g. by the lack of established methods to consider the mechanical behaviour of the completed component.

  4. 23. Modelling of cyclic and viscous behaviour of thermomechanically loaded pearlitic steels; Application to tread braked railway wheels

    Författare :Ali Esmaeili; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rolling contact fatigue; plasticity; tread braking; full-scale brake rig testing; Railway wheels; finite element analyses; pearlitic steel; viscoplasticity; ratchetting; phase transformations;

    Sammanfattning : In service, railway wheel and rail materials are subjected to high stresses and, in some cases, elevated temperatures. The high stresses are caused by the rolling contact between wheel and rail. Furthermore, heat generated from tread braking and/or sliding between wheel and rail gives additional stress due to constrained thermal expansion. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Nonlinear dynamics of flexible structures using corotational beam elements

    Författare :Thanh-Nam Le; Jean-Marc Battini; Reijo Kouhia; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; corotational method; nonlinear dynamics; large displacements; finite rotations; time stepping method; thin-walled cross-section; beam element;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to develop corotational beam elements for the nonlinear dynamic analyse of flexible beam structures. Whereas corotational beam elements in statics are well documented, the derivation of a corotational dynamic formulation is still an issue. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Occupant Neck Muscle Modelling in Rear-End Crashes

    Författare :I Putu Alit Putra; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Active Neck Muscle Responses; Finite Element; Whiplash Associated Disorders; Female; Human Body Model;

    Sammanfattning : The ultimate goal of the present research is to incorporate active and passive neck muscle effects in a female Finite Element (FE) Human Body Model (HBM). The application of interest is Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD), which can occur in a low-speed rear-end impact. LÄS MER
