  1. 11. Optimization of Extreme Environment Cyclic Testing : Analysis of thermal cycle load cases on a plastic cab component through simulation and testing

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

    Author : John Sedin; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this Master thesis was to deepen the knowledge and understanding regarding control parameters for the Extreme Environment Cyclic Testing (EECT) on interior and exterior cab components. The investigated parameters were temperature gradient, length of the warm and cold sections and number of cycles. READ MORE

  2. 12. Measurement of the convective heat transfer with wind : Developing and testing an Earth Scaled Atmospheric Temperature Sensor

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Philipp Wittmann; [2016]
    Keywords : Wind; ATS; heat transfer; air temperature sensor; atmospheric temperature sensor;

    Abstract :    The HAbitability, Brine Irradiation and Temperature Package (HABIT) instrument of the ExoMars Surface Platform will investigate the present day habitability of Mars at the near surface environment. This instrument includes three Atmospheric Temperature Sensor's (ATS's) which are similar to the ones previously used on the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, that has now been operating on Mars for more than four years.

  3. 13. In situ evaluation of terminal and in-line sensor setups for unsteady pressure measurements

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Otto Kuosmanen; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The frequency response of an in-line pressure measuring setup was investigated in order to evaluate its suitability for use in wind tunnel measurements. Testing was conducted in a laboratory environment and a general procedure was developed for both the calibration of the sensors and obtaining the transfer functions for the setup. READ MORE

  4. 14. Simulation of thermal tests in the climatic wind tunnel CD7 at Scania Master thesis project in fluid mechanics

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Jonathan de Laval; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Swedish truck and bus manufacturer Scania has a number of test facilities to support the R&D department and for verification of vehicle properties. The latest addition is the climatic wind tunnel Chassis Dynamometer 7 (CD7) which can fit trucks and buses for full scale testing and maintain temperatures in the range from -35 to 50 degree Celsius in the flow circuit, furthermore it can generate both rain and snow conditions.

  5. 15. Investigation of blockage correction methods forfull-scale wind tunnel testing of trucks

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Ann Hyvärinen; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this work wall interference effects, experienced during full scale wind tunnel testing of trucks, are investigatedthrough simulations. Three different truck models are used, and a number of blockage correction methods areapplied on drag results from simulations in a wind tunnel environment. These are compared with open roadreference simulations. READ MORE
