Computational analysis of warpage of composite laminates: Towards digital twins of laminates fabricated from an automation line

Airborne Composites Automation recently installed an automation product line that creates flat thermoplastic laminates intended for consumer electronics industry. However, due to the composite nature of the material and the process parameters, the final product is deformed, as a result of internal residual stresses. The purpose of this thesis is...

Investigation of buckling behaviour of pipe sections including simplified girthweld geometry with miss-alignment

Submarine pipeline is an important part of offshore oil and gas projects for fluid transmission purpose. Installation of pipelines, especially in deep water, can induce rather severe loads to the structure and this can lead to the unforeseeable risks and challenges. During pipe laying by vessel and reel ship, the pipe bend in the vertical plan...
