  1. 1. Modelling the viscoplastic properties of carbon black filled rubber : A finite strain material model suitable for Finite Element Analysis

    Författare :Rickard Österlöf; Leif Kari; Alan Muhr; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforcing fillers; rubber; finite strain; viscoplastic; förstärkande fyllmedel; gummi; finita töjningar; viskoplastisk; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Sammanfattning : An increased environmental awareness, legal demands and the large part of total costs attributable to fuel cost are all incentives for the automotive industry to reduce fuel consumption. The optimal driveline to enable this reduction depends on the operational conditions and the available infrastructure. LÄS MER

  2. 2. 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. 3. Definition of axonal injury tolerances across scales : A computational multiscale approach

    Författare :Annaclaudia Montanino; Svein Kleiven; Alessandra Villa; Xiaogai Li; Kacy Cullen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Traumatic Brain Injury; Axonal Injury; Mechanoporation; Multiscale;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is today regarded as a global health challenge. Revealing how external mechanical loads translate into tissue and cellular damage is necessary, not only for the development of better preventive measures, but also for the definition of treatments that could spare the patients from suffering TBI's devastating consequences.

  4. 4. Sustainable Implementation of Electrified Roads : Structural and Material Analyses

    Författare :Feng Chen; Niki Kringos; Andreas Loizos; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrified road; Structural performance; Constitutive modelling; Asphalt; Dielectric loss.; Elektrifierade vägar; Strukturellt beteende; Konstruktivt modellerande; Asfalt; Dielektrisk förlust.; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Sammanfattning : Given the promise of the Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) technology for eRoad applications, the potential challenges for a successful integration of dynamic IPT technology into the physical road structure are explored extensively in this research work. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is selected for studying the structural performance of an eRoad under operational conditions. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Models for analysis of shotcrete on rock exposed to blasting

    Författare :Lamis Ahmed; Anders Ansell; Erik Nordström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shotcrete; Rock; Vibration; Stress waves; Numerical analysis.; Sprutbetong; Berg; Vibrationer; Spänningsvågor; Numerisk analys.;

    Sammanfattning : In underground construction and tunnelling, the strive for a more time-efficient construction process naturally focuses on the possibilities of reducing the times of waiting between stages of construction. The ability to project shotcrete (sprayed concrete) on a rock surface at an early stage after blasting is vital to the safety during construction and function of e. LÄS MER
