Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.

Abstract (eng): A process for predicting minimal asymmetric laminate cure shape distortions was developed.
An analytical model based on the principle of minimum potential energy was utilized to predict the cured shape of an asymmetric laminate.
This model was combined with an optimization routine to find the ideal fiber orientation which produced the least amount of cured shape distortion.

The result of the routine for a 200 x 200 mm laminate yielded an optimized configuration having less than 1 mm of deflection.
The optimal layup was verified with a test laminate and numerical model.
The analytical and numerical results were in good agreement with the measured displacements of the test laminate.
The effect of cut-outs on the displacement field was assessed and it was found that they had no significant effect.
This was observed in a test laminate and confirmed with numerical models.

A box design was created utilizing the optimized laminate for radiation testing purposes.
The developed procedure provides a fast an efficient way to produce distortion minimized asymmetric laminates.
