2. 1. Energy Consumption and Running Time for Trains : modelling of running resistance and driver behaviour based on full scale testing

   Author : Piotr Lukaszewicz; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy consumption; Running time; running resistance; driver behaviour; freight; train; energy coasting method; aerodynamic drag; driver model; degree of coasting; slippage; wind; Energy saving; braking ratio; powering ratio; full scale testing; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : The accuracy in determined energy consumption and runningtime of trains, by means of computer simulation, is dependent upon the various models used. This thesis aims at developing validated models of running resistance, train and of a generaldriver, all based on full scale testing. READ MORE

4. 2. The relationship between rolling resistance and tyre operating conditions, with a focus on tyre temperature

   Author : Lisa Ydrefors; Annika Stensson Trigell; Jenny Jerrelind; Jurek Ejsmon; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Rolling resistance; tyre temperature; brush model; parametrisation; rolling resistance measurement; drum measurements; operating conditions; tyre; flat track measurements; Rullmotstånd; rullmotståndsmätning; däcktemperatur; driftsförhållanden; trummätning; borstmodellen; parametrisering; däck; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Abstract : Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from today’s increasing number of cars and trucks, are crucial in counteracting global warming. These efforts include the intent to reduce the effects of the resistive forces acting on the vehicle. Rolling resistance is one of these forces. READ MORE

5. 3. Computational weld mechanics : Towards simplified and cost effective FE simulations

   Author : Ayjwat Awais Bhatti; Zuheir Barsoum; Lennart Josefson; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Abstract : It is the demand of the world’s ever increasing energy crisis to reduce fuel consumption wherever possible. One way of meeting this demand is by reducing the weight of a structure by replacing thick plates of low strength steel with thin plates of high strength steel in the structure. READ MORE

6. 4. Reduction of Audible Noise of a Traction Motor at PWM Operation

   Author : Hanna Amlinger; Ines Lopez Arteaga; Siv Leth; Wolfgang Kropp; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electromagnetic noise; pulse width modulation PWM ; switching frequency; traction motor; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Abstract : A dominating source for the radiated acoustic noise from a train at low speeds is the traction motor. This noise originates from electromagnetic forces acting on the structure resulting in vibrations on the surface and thus radiated noise. It is often perceived as annoying due to its tonal nature.

7. 5. On Generic Road Vehicle Motion Modelling and Control

   Author : Johan Andreasson; Annika Stensson Trigell; Matt Best; KTH; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : With the increased amount of on-board electric power driven by the ongoing hybridization, new ways to realize vehicles are likely to occur. This thesis outlines a future direction of vehicle motion control based on the assumptions that: 1) future vehicle development will face an increased amount of available actuators for vehicle propulsion and control that will open up for an increased variety of possible configurations, 2) the onboard computational power will continue to increase and allow higher demands on active safety and drivability that will require a tighter interaction between sensors and actuators, 3) the trend towards more individualized vehicles on common platforms with shorter time-to-market require design approaches that allow engineering knowledge to be transferred conveniently from one generation to the next.
