  2. 1. Characterization and Control of Multi-Cylinder Partially Premixed Combustion

    Author : Magnus Lewander; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Efficiency estimation; Closed-loop control; EGR; Diesel engine; Partially Premixed Combustion; Combustion control;

    Abstract : In the last decade diesel combustion has developed in a new direction. Research has been carried out trying to prolong the ignition delay and enhance fuel/air premixing to avoid diffusion combustion as well as lowering the combustion temperature through use of EGR. One of these new combustion concepts is Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC). READ MORE

  4. 2. Nonlinear Interaction Between Ultrasonic Waves and Cracks and Interfaces

    Author : Milan Poznic; Leif Kari; Bruce Drinkwater; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ultrasonic waves; crack; modulation; rough interface; partially closed; surface-breaking; fluid-filled; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Abstract : The subject of this thesis is the development of new ultrasound inspection techniques for detection of cracks that are smaller than the wavelength of the inspecting wave and the characterization of cracks in fluid-filled pipes as either surface-breaking or subsurface. The spectrum of the scattered field of a partially closed crack comprises harmonic components not expected to be found in the case of linear scatterers such as pores or inclusions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Model-Based Control of Gasoline Partially Premixed Combustion

    Author : Gabriel Ingesson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pressure-Sensor Feedback; Model Predictive Control; Model-Based Controller Design; Partially Premixed Combustion;

    Abstract : Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) is an internal combustion engine concept that aims to yield low NOx and soot emission levels together with high engine efficiency. PPC belongs to the class of low temperature combustion concepts where the ignition delay is prolonged in order to promote the air-fuel-mixture homogeneity in the combustion chamber at the start of combustion.

  6. 4. Inference in a Partially Observed Percolation Process

    Author : Oscar Hammar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Percolation; Bayesian inference; frequentistic inference; consistency; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Monte Carlo Expectation Maximization; Markov chain Monte Carlo;

    Abstract : In this licentiate thesis, inference in a partially oberved percolation process living on a graph, is considered. Each edge of the graph is declared open with probability $\theta$ and closed with probability $1-\theta$ independently of the states of all other edges. READ MORE

  7. 5. Initiation and early crack growth in VHCF of stainless steels : Experimental and theoretical analysis

    Author : Muhammad Waqas Tofique; Jens Bergstöm; Nils Hallbäck; Thierry Pallin-Luc; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Very High Cycle Fatigue; Stainless steel; Ultrasonic fatigue testing; Crack initiation; Crystallographic crack growth; Distributed Dislocation Dipole Technique; Closed cracks; Materialteknik; Materials Engineering;

    Abstract : Mechanical fatigue is a failure phenomenon that occurs due to repeated application of mechanical loads. Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) is considered as the domain of fatigue life greater than 10 million load cycles. READ MORE
