  1. 1. On the hot crack formation during solidification of iron-base alloys

    Författare :Karin Hansson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :hot cracking; hot tearing; cracking fracturing ; tearing; ductility; brittleness; embrittlement; fractures; ductile brittle transition; solidification; iron; copper; nickel; Invar; steels; free machining steels; stainless steels; penetration; crack;

    Sammanfattning : Hot cracking during solidification is a severe problem inmany casting processes, for example in continuous casting.Combinations of low strength and low ductility of the materialat high temperatures and applied tensile stress can cause hotcracking. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bonded Particle Model for Jointed Rock Mass

    Författare :Diego Mas Ivars; Joanne MR Fernlund; John Harrison; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bonded particle model; Smooth-joint contact model; Discrete fracture network; Synthetic rock mass; Jointed rock mass; Geoengineering; Geoteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Jointed rock masses are formed of intact rock and joints. There-fore, proper characterization of rock mass behavior has to consid-er the combined behavior of the intact rock blocks and that of the joints. This thesis presents the theoretical background of the Synthetic Rock Mass (SRM) modeling technique along with example applica-tions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Fracture behaviour of acetylated wood : Material characterisation and dowel-type connections

    Författare :Karin Forsman; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In order to increase the competitiveness of timber as a building material in outdoor applications, durability and dimensional stability must be ensured. Acetylation enables an environmentally friendly way to increase both durability and dimensional stability of wood, without introducing harmful substances to the environment. LÄS MER

  5. 4. In-plane mechanical properties of acetylated birch plywood and its response to humidity elevation

    Författare :Yue Wang; Magnus Wålinder; Roberto Crocetti; Marie Johansson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Birch plywood; wood modification; acetylation; in-plane mechanical properties; load-to-face grain angle; moisture effect; Björkplywood; trämodifiering; acetylering; mekaniska egenskaper i planet; belastningsriktning; klimategenskaper; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Sammanfattning : Due to the recent flourish of modern timber structures, there is an increasing demand for engineered wood products (EWPs). However, outdoor exposure of EWPs often poses a risk of durability-related issues. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Characterisation of Time-dependent Statistical Failure of Fibre Networks : Applications for Light-weight Structural Composites

    Författare :Amanda Mattsson; Tetsu Uesaka; Christina Dahlström; Sören Östlund; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The future of a sustainable society requires that materials not only be renewable, but also leave as small a carbon foot-printin the environment as possible. One such product is light-weight composite material for transportation packages. Cellulose fibres have been and will continue to be ideal for this purpose. LÄS MER
