  2. 21. Design Iteration Control Framework for Offsite Building Projects

    Author : Martin Haller; Alexander Petutschnigg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : During the course of the studies this thesis is based upon a designiteration control framework for offsite building projects wasconceptualized. The ultimate goal was to develop a robust tool to assistproject managers to find the optimal balance between maintainingsufficient project-by-project iteration to solve complex designproblems, and avoiding excessive iteration, which unnecessarilycomplicates design and scheduling.

  4. 22. Towards a methodology for integrated design of mechatronic servo systems

    Author : Fredrik Roos; Jan Wikander; Hans Johansson; Hendrik van Brussel; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mechatronics; Servo Systems; Design Methodology; Integrated Design; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Traditional methods for mechatronics design are often based on a sequential approach, where the mechanical structure is designed first, and then fitted with off-the-shelf electric motors, drive electronics, gearheads and sensors. Finally a control system is designed and optimized for the already existing physical system. READ MORE

  5. 23. Sea Level Compensation System for Wave Energy Converters

    Author : Valeria Castellucci; Rafael Waters; Ronan Costello; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Ocean energy; Tides; Linear generator; Point absorber; Offshore experiment; Hydro-mechanic modeling; Power absorption; Control system; Communication system; Measurement system; Lysekil research site; Wave Hub.;

    Abstract : The wave energy converter developed at Uppsala University consists of a linear generator at the seabed driven by the motion of a buoy on the water surface. The energy absorbed by the generator is negatively affected by variations of the mean sea level caused by tides, changes in barometric pressure, strong winds, and storm surges. READ MORE

  6. 24. The transition of industrialised house-building towards improved production control

    Author : Martin Lennartsson; Martin Rudberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : Production control is the coordination of supply chain and production activities within manufacturing systems to achieve specific delivery flexibility and delivery reliability with a minimum of cost. Swedish industrialised house-building is a part of housing construction, employing an engineer-to-order production strategy, meaning that products (buildings) are engineered (designed) and produced to order.

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Randomized Experiment; Safe Drinking Water; Participation; Decision-Making; Contribution Requirements; Cost-effectiveness; Faecal Coliform; Arsenic; Tubewell; Cleaning; Maintenance; Impact; Sustainability; Bangladesh; Randomiserat Experiment; Säkert Dricksvatten; Deltagande; Beslutsfattande; Bidragskrav; Kostnadseffektivitet; Fekal Koliform; Arsenik; Tubewell; Rengöring; Underhåll; Påverkan; Hållbarhet; Bangladesh; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : Tillgång till rent dricksvatten är en global utmaning, vilket återspeglas i hållbar utvecklingsmål 6. I Bangladesh är det en brådskande fråga att överbrygga klyftan mellan de som har säkert hanterat dricksvatten och de med förbättrade källor. READ MORE
