  2. 1. Kinematic Control of Redundant Knuckle Booms with Automatic Path Following Functions

    Author : Björn Löfgren; Jan Wikander; Arto Finland Helsinki University of Technology Visala; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydraulic manipulator; redundancy; kinematic control; local optimization; knuckle boom; forest machine; forwarder; boom tip control; joystick control; simulations; path following; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : To stay competitive internationally, the Swedish forestry sector must increase its productivity by 2 to 3% annually. There are a variety of ways in which productivity can be increased. One option is to develop remote-controlled or unmanned machines, thus reducing the need for operator intervention. READ MORE

  4. 2. Reliability analysis of Load-Haul-Dump machines

    Author : Uday Kumar; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

    Abstract : Today, maintaining a mining equipment is an expensive affair. The two factors which influence significantly the occurrences of breakdowns are the operating reliability of equipment and the related human factors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Improving the functionality of synchronous machines using power electronics

    Author : Fredrik Evestedt; Urban Lundin; C. Johan. D. Abrahamsson; Jon Kjellin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power electronics; Synchronous machines; Excitation systems; Magnetic thrust bearing; Starting synchronous machines; Split rotor; Rotating electronics; Magnetic fields; Measurement systems; Unbalanced magnetic pull; Harmonics; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : With the advent of modern power electronics there is reason to explore what can be achieved when it is applied to a mature technology like synchronous machines. In this text several concepts will be presented on how it is possible to control forces and how to get better performance out of synchronous machines by using power electronics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analysis and control of magnetic forces in synchronous machines

    Author : J. J. Pérez-Loya; Urban Lundin; Anouar Belahcen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : eccentricity; electromagnetics; electromagnetic forces; excitation; magnetic fields; magnetic forces; magnetic thrust bearing; rotor drive; split rotor; starting; synchronous generators; synchronous machines; synchronous motors; unbalanced magnetic pull; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : In a synchronous machine, radial, tangential, and axial forces are generated. In this thesis, three different technologies to control them are proposed. The first one, involves the utilization of the radial forces that arise between the rotor and the stator. READ MORE

  7. 5. Automation of Load Haul Dump machines : comparative performance analysis and maintenance modeling

    Author : Anna Gustafson; Sunniva Haugen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance Engineering;

    Abstract : The Load Haul Dump (LHD) machine and its operating environment create a complex system. Mine productivity depends on the operation of the LHDs and on the mining environment, including fragmentation, size of boulders, navigation techniques etc. Traditional navigation techniques require a lot of infrastructure to accommodate automatic operation.
