1. 1. Interactive Visualization of Network Models in JavaScript/TypeScript for Web-based Applications

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Morrow Erik; [2023]
   Keywords : Networks; Information visualization; Information Theory; Interactive visualization; Nätverk; Informationsvisualisering; Informationsteori; Interaktiv visualisering;

   Abstract : Networks of nodes and links are powerful tools to model complex systems, however, when the number of nodes and links grows to the thousands then even the network becomes too complex to comprehend unless we can simplify and highlight the networks underlying structure. The map equation is a method developed by the researchers at IntegratedScience Lab that uses an information theoretic approach to reveal community structure using the flow of information on the network modeled with random walks.

3. 2. Ready, set, regenerate! : A design study about affecting driver behaviours through gamification elements.

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

   Author : Albin Qvist; Philip Johansson Subiabre; [2023]
   Keywords : Gamification; In-Vehicle Information Systems; IVIS; Regenerative braking; Simulator;

   Abstract : The automotive industry plays a significant role in global CO2 emissions. A transition towards electric vehicles is part of the solution to lower CO2 emissions. READ MORE

4. 3. Additives in a steam engine to decrease friction : Friction testing of solid lubricants in powder form

   University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

   Author : Viktor Lange; [2023]
   Keywords : Tribology; friction; wear; steam; steam engine; ranotor; invencon; invencon AB; steel; contact mechanics; hexagonal boron nitride; molybdenum disulfide; tungsten disulfide; lubricants; solid lubricants; Tribologi; friktion; nötning; ånga; ångmotor; stål; kontaktmekanik; smörjning; smörjmedel; fasta smörjmedel;

   Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate the coefficient of friction between steel on steel contacts with the addition of solid lubricants such as h-BN, WS2, MoS2 in powder form, in dry conditions and wet conditions. More specifically, the purpose is to enhance the sliding between the piston rings and cylinder block in a modern high temperature steam engine developed by RANOTOR. READ MORE

5. 4. Information Extraction for Test Identification in Repair Reports in the Automotive Domain

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

   Author : Huang Jie; [2023]
   Keywords : text classification; information retrieval; contrastive learning; prompt-based fine-tuning; large language models;

   Abstract : The knowledge of tests conducted on a problematic vehicle is essential for enhancing the efficiency of mechanics. Therefore, identifying the tests performed in each repair case is of utmost importance. This thesis explores techniques for extracting data from unstructured repair reports to identify component tests. READ MORE

6. 5. Multiscale & Multiphysics Modelling of Thrust Pad (Air) Bearings

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Nipon Roy; [2023]
   Keywords : Finite element modelling; Air bearing; Multiphysics simulations; Air lubrication; surface texture; Topology optimization;

   Abstract : Without lubrication, machines are not imaginable to perform over a long period of time and complete their designated operations. With its omnipresent availability, the air is capable of functioning as a lubricant in long operations very efficiently. Moreover, thrust bearings support axial loads and transmit power at the same time under heavy loads. READ MORE
