  1. 1. Simulation and Study of Gravity Assist Maneuvers

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Ignacio Santos; [2020]
    Keywords : B-Plane; Gravity assist maneuver; Interplanetary orbit transfer; Oberth effect; Periapsis; Simulation model; Space exploration; Trajectory planning.;

    Abstract : This thesis takes a closer look at the complex maneuver known as gravity assist, a popular method of interplanetary travel. The maneuver is used to gain or lose momentum by flying by planets, which induces a speed and direction change. READ MORE

  3. 2. Pressure-Temperature-time Constraints on the Deep Subduction of the Seve Nappe Complex in Jämtland and southern Västerbotten, Scandinavian Caledonides

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Holmberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Seve Nappe Complex; COSC-1; Raman spectroscopy; QuiG barometry; kyanite-garnet gneiss; Lu-Hf garnet geochronology; Seveskollan; COSC-1; Raman spektroskopering; QuiG barometri; kyanit-granatförande gnejs; Lu-Hf granat geokronologi;

    Abstract : The Scandinavian Caledonides are defined by long transported thrust sheets emplaced in a nappe stratigraphic succession onto the Paleozoic Baltica platform, as a result of the collision between the paleo-continents Baltica and Laurentia. This Palaeozoic collisional orogen is nowadays exposed at mid-crustal levels, thus provides an excellent ground for in situ studies of mountain building processes. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Metamorphic History of the Helags Mountain Area, Scandinavian Caledonides

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Johansson; [2016]
    Keywords : Seve Nappe Complex; Scandinavian Caledonides; metamorphism; monazite geochronology; garnet;

    Abstract : The Scandinavian Caledonides formed as a result of collision between the continents Baltica and Laurentia, in Silurian and Early Devonian time. The evolution of the orogen has been a topic of research since before the turn of the last century. READ MORE

  5. 4. Audi Uno : A symbiotic car

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Designhögskolan vid Umeå universitet

    Author : Gaurang Nagre; [2016]
    Keywords : additive manufacturing; future mobility; transportation design; Audi; car design; styling;

    Abstract : Abstract When we paint a nebulous future of tomorrow based on the research dictated by the available resources, we see a marathon run for the future that instigates new opportunities for the automotive industry with additive manufacturing. Cars of today are a product of subtractive manufacturing; but in future 3D printing would empower us to define a novel architecture that provokes the construction of the interior, exterior and the powertrain in one piece allowing us to celebrate the marriage between all three key components.
