2. 21. Wear of piston rings in hydrostatic transmissions

   Author : Ulf Skytte af Sätra; Sören Andersson; Kenneth Holmberg; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; piston ring; surface roughness; texture; coating; wear; hydraulic motor; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik;

   Abstract : This study focuses on the wear of piston rings in a hydraulic radial piston motor. The piston ring has to satisfy increasing demands for reliability and longer service life. It has two contacting surfaces, the face and the flank, and operates under a boundary lubrication state. READ MORE

4. 22. Suggestions for innovation in the supplying of joinery products through the application of Lean-thinking and 3-D sensing

   Author : Samuel Forsman; Jakob Rehme; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träteknik; Wood Technology;

   Abstract : The supplying of engineer-to-order joinery products to the construction industry is a novel research area in both the wood-related and the construction-related fields. The process of supplying the construction industry with highly refined one-of-a-kind wood products is here examined in order to explore possible process innovations to identify factors contributing to inefficiency, to define areas for innovation to improve industry performance, and to evaluate 3-D sensing technologies as a way of achieving a model-based joinery production.

5. 23. Empirical studies of auctions of non-distressed residential real estate

   Author : Rosane Hungria-Gunnelin; Mats Wilhelmsson; Hans Wijkander; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; housing market; auctions; underpricing; bidding strategies; time-on-market; brokers commission fee structures; information asymmetry; winner s curse; bostadsmarknad; auktioner; underprissättning; budgivningsstrategier; time-on-market; provisionsstruktur; informationsasymmetri; winner s curse; Real Estate and Construction Management; Fastigheter och byggande;

   Abstract : Real estate auctions have become a popular sales mechanism in Sweden in the past couple of decades when the internet facilitated the marketing of properties for sale. With the possibility to display several exterior and interior pictures of the property rather than the single façade picture style of traditional newspapers advertisements, and a more detailed description of the object, brokers significantly increased the number of potential buyers at the showings of properties for sale.

6. 24. Buildability of concrete structures : processes, methods and material

   Author : Peter Simonsson; Peter F. Court; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : The causes for the slow development of the construction industry is often attributed the traditional ”peculiarities of construction“, including such factors as one-of-a-kind products, temporary organisation, and on-site production. However, signs of new thinking are becoming apparent in the construction industry in Sweden that emphasise change. READ MORE

7. 25. Complexity and learning in timber frame housing : the case of a solid wood pilot project

   Author : Ylva Sardén; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

   Abstract : An extensive governmental evaluation of the Swedish construction industry shows that it is possible to reduce production costs in housing construction through industrialisation, customer orientation, and a more efficient construction process. Today large construction companies are more and more focused on dealing with systems and coordinating large projects and the real production is getting less important. READ MORE
