Fundamental Theory and Implementation of the Wang-O'Gara-Tucker Model for the Modeling of Fiber Orientation in Fiber Filled Injection Molded Thermoplastics

The purpose of this master project is to implement the Wang-O'Gara-Tucker model to simulate the fiber orientation in fiber filled injection molded thermoplastics. A part of the extensive fundamental theory behind this model, and the implementations are treated in Part I of the thesis, the theory part. This part consists of the first eight...

Feasibility study of a tire hydroplaning simulation in a finite element code using a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method

Feasibility study of a tire hydroplaning simulation in a finite element code using a coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The considered FEA code is Simulia's Abaqus. Fundamentals of Abaqus' FSI solver is considered. This includes fluid and structure mechanics and fluid-structure interaction issues. The FSI solver is benchmarked. Conclusions and...
