2. 1. Washing Machine Design Optimization Based on Dynamics Modeling

   Author : Thomas Nygårds; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experiments; Multiobjective Optimization; Modeling; Vibration dynamics; Washing machine; Suspensions; Semi-active control.; Automatic balancing;

   Abstract : The spinning process in a washing machine is a source of undesired vibrations and noise and may cause discomfort both to the user as well as for the machine itself due to vibrations which have impact on system lifetime, reliability of operation and capacity.The aim of this thesis is to develop mathematical and computational models of a washing machine of modern type and use these models for dynamics analysis and in optimization routines to make improvements of the machine mechanical design.

4. 2. Lattice Boltzmann simulations of tracer diffusion in microswimmer suspensions

   Author : Henrik Nordanger; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lattice Boltzmann; microswimmers; active matter; enhanced diffusion;

   Abstract : Suspensions of microswimmers are a class of systems inherently out of equilibrium, due to the mechanical work continuously performed by a large number of active agents. Biological examples are plentiful, as many aquatic microorganisms have the ability to propel themselves. READ MORE

5. 3. Simulation of collective phenomena in microswimmer suspensions

   Author : Dora Bardfalvy; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Collective motion is ubiquitous in biological and synthetic systems across manylength- and timescales. On the macroscopic scale, examples include schools of fish, herds of sheep and flocks of birds. On the microscopic scale, bacteria, algae and synthetic self-propelled particles exhibit a range of collective phenomena. READ MORE

6. 4. Low-cost control of discontinuous systems including impacts and friction

   Author : Fredrik Svahn; Annika Stensson Trigell; Harry Dankowicz; Jenny Jerrelind; Remco Leine; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nonlinear dynamics; discontinuities; nonlinear control; impacts; friction; vehicle suspensions; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : For a successful design of an engineering system it is essential to pay careful attention to its dynamic response. This is particularly true, in the case of nonlinear systems, since they can exhibit very complex dynamic behaviour, including multiple co-existing stable solutions and chaotic motions, characterized by large sensitivity to initial conditions.

7. 5. Advances In Heavy Vehicle Dynamics with Focus on Engine Mounts and Individual Front Suspension

   Author : Hoda Yarmohamadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration isolation; semi-active damper; handling; heavy vehicle; individual front suspension; nonlinear dynamic stiffness and damping; kinematics; adaptronic mounting system; engine mount; comfort;

   Abstract : The main objective of the research presented in this thesis is to enhance driver comfort and handling of a heavy truck that in turn leads to better vehicle safety and stability. The focus has been put on studying two suspension systems of the truck, engine and front axle suspensions, due to their significant impact on the dynamic performance of the vehicle. READ MORE
