Assessment of the applicability of XFEM in Abaqus for modeling crack growth in rubber (Mechanical Project)
The eXtended Finite Element Method is a partition of unity based method, particularly suitable for modelling crack propagation phenomena, without knowing a priori the crack path. Its numerical implementation is mostly achieved with stand-alone codes. The implementation of the Continue reading
Accuracy Study in Predicting Fatigue Life for a Welding Joint (Mechanical Project)
This thesis describes a comparative study between two calculations methods for life estimates of a welding joint. The two studied methods are the Continue reading
Comparative Study of Fragment Geometries (Mechancial Project)
Fragments from explosive device have been and still are a great threat, but has now changed into terrorist attacks involving IED (Improvised Explosive Devise) rather than Continue reading
Suspension Design for Off-road Construction Machines (Mechanical Project)
Construction machines, also referred to as engineering vehicles or earth movers, are used in a variety of tasks related to infrastructure development and material handling. While modern construction machines represent Continue reading
The Influence of Under Sleeper Pads on Railway Track Dynamics (Mechanical Project)
In this work the influence of Under Sleeper Pads on the dynamic forces on a railway track is investigated. A special interest is devoted to the effect of using Under Sleeper Pads in a railway track with changing Continue reading
Method Evaluation of Global-Local Finite Element Analysis (Mechanical Project)
When doing finite element analysis upon the structure of Saab’s aeroplanes a coarse global model of mainly shell elements is used to determine the load distribution for sizing the structure. At some parts of the aeroplane it is however desirable to implement Continue reading
Constitutive Modelling of the Nickel base Superalloy IN718 (Mechanical Project)
One of the limiting factors in gas turbine design is the allowable metal temperatures and loads in critical components. Specially designed superalloys are used when the conditions are most severe. One of these superalloys is Continue reading
