  1. 1. Composite Bridges : Innovative ways of achieving composite action

    Författare :Robert Hällmark; Peter Collin; Ian May; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Composite action; bridges; steel; concrete; shear connectors; prefabrication; coiled spring pins; shear studs; post-installation; design guidance; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The topic of this thesis is steel-concrete composite bridges and innovative ways of achieving composite action. The typical superstructure consists of three main components: the steel girders, the concrete deck slab and the shear connectors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Composite Action and Confinement Effects in Tubular Steel-Concrete Columns

    Författare :Mathias Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; connection; composite action; composite column; finite element analysis; bond; confined concrete; high-strength concrete; experiment; concrete-filled steel tube;

    Sammanfattning : Composite columns composed of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFT) have become increasingly popular in structural applications around the world. This type of column can offer many advantages, for instance, high strength, ductility, and large energy absorption capacity, as well as increased speed of construction, positive safety aspects, and possible use of simple standardized connections.

  4. 3. Deductive Planning and Composite Actions in Temporal Action Logic

    Författare :Martin Magnusson; Patrick Doherty; John-Jules Meyer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Temporal Action Logic; deductive planning; composite actions; interval algebra; constraint logic programming; execution monitoring; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Temporal Action Logic is a well established logical formalism for reasoning about action and change that has long been used as a formal specification language. Its first-order characterization and explicit time representation makes it a suitable target for automated theorem proving and the application of temporal constraint solvers. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Surface tension-driven flow in soft porous materials — An investigation of the mechanism of capillary flow in microchannels of hydrogels

    Författare :Johanna Andersson; 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; wetting on soft materials; Capillary flow; alginate gel; capillary action;

    Sammanfattning : Spontaneous spreading of liquids in porous materials is of great industrial relevance and occurs in, for example, diapers, fabrics, paper or paint. Often, it is necessary to manipulate the spreading rate of liquids to result in the desired mass transport, for example to soak up large liquid volumes, as in a diaper. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Influence of microstructure on debonding at the fiber/matrix interface in fiber-reinforced polymers under tensile loading

    Författare :Luca Di Stasio; Janis Varna; Zoubir Ayadi; Alberto Barroso; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fiber matrix interface; Debonding; Polymer-Matrix Composites PMC ; Finite Element Method FEM ; Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics LEFM ; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera kompositmaterial;

    Sammanfattning : At the end of the second decade of the XXI century, the transportation industry at large faces several challenges that will shape its evolution in the next decade and beyond. The first such challenge is the increasing public awareness and governmental action on climate change, which are increasing the pressure on the industrial sectors responsible for the greatest share of emissions, the transportation industry being one of them, to reduce their environmental footprint.
