Automation of Packing Process (Mechanical Project)
The design work that precedes the automation of a process is not an easy job. Each one of the variables and possible risks involved in process must be carefully considered before implement the final design as well the requirements in performance and cost. However Continue reading
Deburring of components: A survey of current and future deburring processes (Mechanical Project)
The machining operations that shape a metal component produce a raised edge or small pieces of material remaining attached to a work piece called burrs and sharp edges. The deburring process is intended to remove these imperfections and produce Continue reading
Capacity Calculator of Rotary Draw Tube Bending (Mechanical Project)
Plastic deformation of tubes can be achieved in numerous ways. One of the most useful type is CNC tube bending machines which is used in many industries such as aerospace, automotive, Continue reading
Automatic Trimmerhead (Mechanical Project)
Automatic trimmerhead is an examination project for making an automatic trimmerhead for grass trimmers with the user and functionality in focus. Our perception is that a happy user is a user who can pick up his or her trimmer, use it and put it back to its place when Continue reading
Assessment of Pollution Levels Resulting from Biomass Gasification (Mechanical Project)
Today the large scale introduction of biomass gasification is hampered by health, safety and environmental issues which present a major barrier in the deployment of this technology. The condensate in particular resulting from producer gas cooling before use in Continue reading
Seam Tracking in a Complex Aerospace Component for Laser Welding (Computer/Electronics/Mechanical Project)
This project is a result of collaboration between the University of Trollhättan/Uddevalla and Volvo Aero Corporation, Trollhättan. An aerospace component, which is used in a process at Volvo Aero Corporation, is casted in one piece. A new way of manufacturing this Continue reading
A Novel Airflow Control Valve for use in Medical Applications (Mechanical Project)
Rapid improvements in digital technology over the last two decades have led to artificial ventilators that drastically improve physicians’ ability to Continue reading
Faster Display of Mechanical Assemblies by Determination of Part Visibility (Mechanical Project)
We present algorithms that greatly decrease the time it takes to display a large number of 3-D mechanical part assemblies by removing all interior parts that cannot be Continue reading
Computational Study of the Structure and Mechanical Properties of the Molecular Crystal RDX (Mechanical Project)
Molecular crystals constitute a class of materials commonly used as active pharmaceutical ingredients, energetic and high explosive materials. Like simpler crystalline materials, they possess Continue reading
Pressureless Sintering Of Powder Processed Functionally Graded Metal-Ceramic Plates (Mechanical Project)
The need exists to fabricate graded metal-ceramic composite armor specimens consisting of nickel and alumina through Continue reading
Component Meshing Methodology (Mechanical Project)
In order to achieve results that are reliable when using the finite element method one has to use an acceptable element mesh with respect to the Continue reading
Enabling traceability of design rationale using the concept of product family description (PFD) (Mechanical Project)
This study is based on the previous researches in design automation at Sandvik Coromant. The concept of product family description (PFD) has been introduced to the company to Continue reading
Model Based Diagnosis of an Air Source Heat Pump (Mechanical Project)
The purpose of a heat pump is to control the temperature of an enclosed space. This is done by using heat exchange with a heat source, for example Continue reading
Design of an End Effector for Drilling in Automated Processes (Mechanical Project)
As a part of the project this study aims to help solve the drilling problem, the goal of this thesis is to design an end effector that will help avoid slipping when drilling. The methods used were Continue reading
Optimization of front Wheel Arch Liner (Mechanical Project)
About ten years ago Volvo Cars could see that car manufactures began to introduce rear wheel arch liners made of non-woven fabrics or some kind of laminate which are mostly common today. Volvo Cars have also seen that competitors now are beginning to Continue reading
Heat Transfer Correlations for Gas Turbine Cooling (Mechanical Project)
A first part of a “Heat Transfer Handbook” about correlations for internal cooling of gas turbine vanes and blades has been created. The work is based on the cooling of Continue reading
Elastic Buckling Behavior of Plate and Tubular Structures (Mechanical Project)
The study of buckling behavior of tubular and cellular structures has been an intriguing area of research in the field of solid mechanics. Unlike the global Euler buckling of slender structures under compressive loads, tubular and cellular structures deform with their walls buckling as Continue reading
Development of Model for Large-Bore Engine Cooling Systems (Mechanical Project)
The purpose of this project is to present on the development and results of the cooling system logic tree and model developed as part of the Continue reading
