  4. 8. Characterization of Heat Treated LMwD Ti-6Al-4V to Study the Effect of Cooling Rate on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties

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

    Author : Emil Edin; [2019]
    Keywords : Ti-6Al-4V; LMwD; Characterization; Alpha Laths;

    Abstract : In this work, the influence of different cooling rates (5, 20, 50 and 100 °C/s) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Laser Metal Wire Deposited (LMwD) Ti-6Al-4V was investigated, this was done using a thermal-mechanical physical simulation system (Gleeble 3800, DSI). Two different soak times above β transus (held at 1100 °C), 5 and 40 s, were used and after cooling to 150 °C, the samples were tensile tested. READ MORE

  6. 10. Distance estimations by non-linear step length models using accelerometer sensor data from waist-worn smart-phones

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Benjamin Drorsén; Daniel Strandberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the possibility of modelling trajectory and estimating distance during a walk using only a smart phone attached to the waist. Due to GPS not functioning indoors, a navigation system without the need of external communication could be the perfect complement for closed spaces. READ MORE
