  1. 1. Evaluation of electric actuation for fighter aircraft

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Dennis Moliner Pettersson; Anton Nygårds; [2023]
    Keywords : EMA; actuator; actuation; MEA; aircraft; PMSM; SHA;

    Abstract : The tendency of recent years towards electrification of aircraft components and subsys-tems has opened the door for a wider usability of electro-mechanical actuators (EMAs) inthat context. EMAs are already in use in aircraft industries but mainly in civil aviation forsecondary control systems and non-critical applications. READ MORE

  3. 2. Microeletromechanical Systems for Tunable Ring Resonators on a Silicon Platform

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Keywords : Integrated photonics; Silicon Photonics; MEMS; Silicon Photonic MEMS; Ring Resonator; Telecommunications; Integrerad fotonik; Silicon Photonics; MEMS; Silicon Photonic MEMS; Ringresonator; Telekommunikation;

    Abstract : Advancements in photonic integrated circuits, so-called PICs, have progressed fast in the last decades. More complex PICs are getting developed, which are promising in possibly offering advantages like low power consumption and high-performance computing. Re-programmable photonic FPGAs are one of these candidates. READ MORE

  4. 3. Textile Actuator Fibres : Investigation in materials and methods for coiled polymer fibre muscles

    University essay from Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Rebecca Melvinsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Textile actuators; Soft robots; Coiled muscles; PVDF; SMP; Fibre Anisotropy; Thermal actuation; α-relaxation;

    Abstract : This thesis contains an investigation in materials and methods for coiled polymer muscles where the end application in mind is to be integrated in a textile structure such as an exo-skeleton glove. Previous artificial muscle fibres have proved little success due to performance, cost and scalability. READ MORE

  5. 4. Control of HVAC Systems via Explicit and Implicit MPC: an Experimental Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Reglerteknik

    Author : Luca Fabietti; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Buildings are among the largest consumers of energy in the world. A significant part of this energy can be attributed to Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, which play an important role in maintaining acceptable thermal and air quality conditions in common building.
