1. Development and application of corotational finite elements for the analysis of steel structures in fire
Sammanfattning : The ignition and the propagation of a fire inside a building may lead to global or local structural collapse, especially in steel framed structures. Indeed, steel structures are particularly vulnerable to thermal attack because of a high value of steel conductivity and of the small thickness that characterise the cross-sections. LÄS MER
2. Thermomechanical behaviour of tread braked wheels
Sammanfattning : Tread brakes, also known as block brakes, are a type of friction brakes commonly used in the railway industry. They are a low-cost and low-maintenance solution compared to more complicated systems such as disc brakes or electrodynamic brakes. LÄS MER
3. Thermomechanics of block brakes
Sammanfattning : Friction in sliding contacts plays an important role in tribology. Applications can be found in many engineering fields such as braking of vehicles in which friction brakes are by far the most common. Thus, an understanding of the mechanisms involved in friction brakes has become more important as the demands on brakes increase. LÄS MER
4. Modeling of coupled thermoplasticity at finite strains
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, models for simulation of inelastic phenomena, such as plastic anisotropy, texture evolution, void growth and phase transformation are presented. Special emphasized is put on the modeling of heat generation due to plastic work. All models are formulated within a thermodynamic framework that allows large deformations. LÄS MER
5. Numerical simulation of thermomechanical rolling contact using an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation
Sammanfattning : In the endeavour to further the understanding of thermomechanical rolling contact, numerical simulations serve as an important complement to laboratory and full-scale testing. In the development of numerical simulation methods, the challenge is to enhance predictive capabilities while keeping computational efforts reasonable. LÄS MER
