FSE3048 Mechanics of Fibre Networks and Materials
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Basic course in Solid Mechanics, e.g. SE1010, SE1020 or SE1055 or similar
Advanced course in Material Mechanics, e.g. SE2126 or similar.
Lectures:
Paper as an engineering material, packaging performance, behaviour of corners in carton board boxes, web dynamics in paper transport systems, statistical aspects of failure of paper products, fracture properties, moisture-induced deformations, creep and relaxation, mechanics in printing nip for paper and board, micromechanics, wood bio-composites – extending the property range of paper products
Laboratory:
Paper testing, design and testing of paperboard package, FEM analysis of paperboard package
After the course, the students should be able to
- describe and analyse important paper technology applications using correct solid mechanics terminology,
- relate the results from the most important methods for mechanical testing of paper and board to the appropriate solid mechanics terminology,
- describe important aspects of the constitutive modelling of paper and board for analyses of converting and end-use applications,
- demonstrate the benefits of mathematical modelling and numerical analyses in paper technology applications,
- discuss and argue for experimental and numerical results orally and in writing, and
- appreciate the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of using paper as a renewable material.
