  1. 6. Optimal control of articulated vehicles for tyre wear minimisation

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

    Author : Vallan Maroof; [2021]
    Keywords : Articulated Vehicles; Optimal Control; Tyre Wear Minimisation; Sensitivity Analysis; Motion Planning; Lastbil; Ruttplanering; Däckslitage Minimering; Känslighetsanalys; Optimal Styrning;

    Abstract : Tyre wear is a significant problem on today's road vehicles, particularly for heavy trucks. As the tyre wears, microplastics is released in the air causing long term health issues and environmental pollution. With the introduction of automated vehicles there is a big potential to improve tyre wear of heavy trucks. READ MORE

  3. 7. The Significance of Giant Flank Collapses on Magma Ascent in the NE Rift Zone of Tenerife, Canary Islands: A Structural Modelling and Diffusion Approach

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Kristoffer Ånäs; [2021]
    Keywords : Tenerife; volcanic rift zones; analogue gelatine experiments; dykes; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramite; Teneriffa; vulkaniska sprickzoner; analoga gelatinexperiment; gångar; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramit;

    Abstract : On the volcanic ocean island Tenerife in the Canary archipelago, several giant flank collapses haveoccurred over the last one million years. The link between the lateral collapses and the resultingvolcanism in the rift zones is not fully understood and was investigated within the framework of thisproject. READ MORE

  4. 8. Evaluation of Active Rear Steering through Multi-Body Simulation

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och spårfordon samt konceptuell fordonsdesign

    Author : Matteo Rossi; Gabriele Bertoli; [2021]
    Keywords : Vehicle dynamics; Active rear steering; active systems; automotive; MBS; Simpack; Volvo; CAE; single-track model; bicycle model; feedforward control; Vehicle dynamics; Active rear steering; active systems; automotive; MBS; Simpack; Volvo; CAE; single-track model; bicycle model; feedforward control;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis work is to evaluate and quantify the advantages and disadvantages of Active Rear Steering (ARS). The evaluation is carried out through Multi-Body System (MBS) simulations. An analytical model has been developed to better understand the basic dynamics of vehicles equipped with rear steering.

  5. 9. Experimental Investigation of Fluid-added Parameters on a Kaplan Runner

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

    Author : Malin Strandberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Added mass; added inertia; fluid dynamics; hydropower; Kaplan turbine; fluid-solid interaction;

    Abstract : In order to reach climate and environmental goals, Sweden is increasing the implementation of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power to the electricity grid. The increase of intermittent energy sources is rising power regulation requirement towards hydropower, which increasingly exposes the hydraulic turbines to high loads and fluctuating hydraulic forces.

  6. 10. Development of a new concept for a v-stay in a heavy vehicle using dynamic analyses

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Lisa Hansson; Mikaela Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Heavy vehicle; high capacity transport; dynamic stability; wheel suspension; v-stay; dynamic analysis;

    Abstract : Society of today is struggling with both large amounts of emissions as well as congestion on the roads. For this reason, AFRY in collaboration with Volvo GTT is working on develop and implement longer and heavier transports in traffic network. These combinations are called high capacity transport and have high performance-based demands. READ MORE
