2. 1. On improvement of brake discs for heavy vehicles - Experimental testing and material modelling

   Author : Gael le Gigan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element analysis; cast iron; cracking; drag braking; rig experiment; fatigue; hot spots; brake disc; material testing;

   Abstract : Disc brakes are commonly used in motorcycles, passenger cars, commercial vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, passenger trains and landing gear of airplanes. Depending on the application, different types of brake discs can be found on the market with numerous designs, geometries and materials. READ MORE

4. 2. Design, Optimization and Evaluation of a Transonic Aeroelastic Rig

   Author : Simeng Tian; Andrew R. Martin; Mauricio Gutierrez Salas; Dieter Peitsch; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transonic compressor; Aeroelastic rig; Design; CFD; Unsteady flow; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : The compressor is one of the most essential components of a modern turbomachinery engine. This component is exposed to vibrations that without proper design can damage structural integrity and lead to failure. READ MORE

5. 3. Surface Engineering Approach to Frictional Optimization

   Author : Staffan Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piston Ring; Lubrication; Rig testing; Tribometer; Design of Experiments; Cylinder Liner; Friction; Oil consumption; Diesel Engine; Wear;

   Abstract : Reducing emissions is a top priority within heavy duty diesel engine development and research. The power cylinder system is a main contributor to emissions and accounts for about 50% of the total frictional losses found in the engine, so is important to optimize. READ MORE

6. 4. A Surface Engineering Approach to Reduction of Frictional Losses of Heavy Duty Diesel Engines

   Author : Staffan Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cylinder Liner; Tribometer; Wear; Diesel Engine; Lubrication; Design of Experiments; Rig testing; Friction; Piston Ring; Oil consumption;

   Abstract : Reducing emissions is a top priority within heavy duty diesel engine development and research. The aim of the work is to decrease the fuel consumption by decreasing frictional losses of the Power Cylinder Unit.Full scale testing of engine components improvements is time-consuming and costly.

7. 5. Hydraulic Power Steering System Design in Road Vehicles : Analysis, Testing and Enhanced Functionality

   Author : Marcus Rösth; Jan-Ove Palmberg; Nick Vaughan; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydraulic Power Steering; Active Safety; Comfort function; Shuttering; Linear modelling; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Abstract : Demands for including more functions such as haptic guiding in power steering systems in road vehicles have increased with requirements on new active safety and comfort systems. Active safety systems, which have been proven to have a positive effect on overall vehicle safety, refer to systems that give the driver assistance in more and less critical situations to avoid accidents.
