The automotive industry is increasingly studying lightweight solution in their designs, also rational production and low costs in materials and manufacturing methods are of great interest. This thesis consisted in the practical evaluation of anchors for sandwich panels. The object was to study loads of shearing and pull out of the plane. The experiments were carried out on panels made up of 1mm aluminium coatings and 50mm extruded polystyrene (XPS) at its core. As the Fasteners used simple methods such as blind rivets, screw and glue.

Since the 1980s, companies have taken a larger interest in quality and it´s economic impact within the company. Having the knowledge that it´s not quality that costs money, but it´s rather the lack of quality. The work immerses itself in the field of cost of poor quality and the development of key performance indicators.The thesis is performed at Bufab Holding in Värnamo. Bufab Holding is a trading company which mainly buys and sells C-parts. C-parts include Fasteners, other small metal-, rubber- or plastic parts such as wires, springs and electronic Fasteners.The aim of this thesis was to make a survey of the cost of poor quality and to find key performance indicators (KPI) for cost of poor quality that can be continuously monitored.

I dagsläget finns ingen bearbetad beräkningsmodell för fästplåtar enligt Eurokod. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utforma en fungerande och lättförståelig beräkningsmodell för dessa fästplåtar. Arbetet har begränsats till fästplåtar med fyra och sex förankringar bestående av varmvalsat stål samt armeringsstänger som förankring. Beräkningsmodellen är uppbyggt med hjälp av studier på gamla beräkningar samt nya aspekter som anses vara relevanta som sedan översatts till Eurokod.  Fästplåten har analyserats utifrån normalkraft, tvärkraft och moment samt samverkan mellan dessa krafter. Varje ingående konstruktionsdels kraftkapacitet har kontrollerats och sedan sammanställts till en totalt tillåten kraft.
