The shock wave produced by an explosion may be accompanied by fragments accelerating to immense speeds. This devastating combination is a massive challenge for those working with blast-resistant designs. The most destructive loads that exist are the topic of Benjamin Stavnar Elveli´s PhD-thesis.
PhD candidate Benjamin S. Elveli works with steel and a long-standing dilemma in materials science, namely the trade-off between strength and ductility.
A short time before scheduled laboratory tests for their Master’s theses, 4 students working with steel structures at SIMLab had to leave campus because of Covid-19. Now, two months later, NTNU is cautiously reopening and allowing them back in the lab to complete their experiments.
Christian Oen Paulsen went by way of gold to bring our understanding of steel one step further.
For the first time, 3D printed maraging steel has been studied under ballistic penetration.
Associate Professor Ida Westermann has a bun in the oven. Don’t worry. She knows how to bake. Even aluminium.
Stainless steel is expensive. What if you could get the same user qualities more cheaply by combining a stainless surface with a conventional steel substrate using a surface modification technique? David Embury shares a peek into a new world of hybrid and architectured materials.
