  2. 16. Modeling and Optimization for Critical Vehicle Maneuvers

    Author : Kristoffer Lundahl; Lars Nielsen; Mathias Lidberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : As development in sensor technology, situation awareness systems, and computational hardware for vehicle systems progress, an opportunity for more advanced and sophisticated vehicle safety-systems arises. With the increased level of available information---such as position on the road, road curvature and knowledge about surrounding obstacles---future systems could be seen utilizing more advanced controls, exploiting at-the-limit behavior of the vehicle.

  4. 17. Reduced models for flows in IC-engines

    Author : Niklas Winkler; Hans-Erik Ångström; Angelo Onorati; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The finite response time of the turbocharger is the most notable effect of transient operation on a turbocharged diesel engine. To fulfill future emission requirements, high amounts of transient EGR will be required even though after-treatment devices are being used. READ MORE

  5. 18. A ‘3 step’ IRT strategy for evaluation of the use of sum scores in small studies with questionnaires using items with ordered response levels : ‘To make a lot out of nothing’, from the Swedish locution: ‘Att koka soppa på en spik’

    Author : Ulf B Brodin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study is focused on a strategy for a basic evaluation of a questionnaire at an early state (i.e. only a limited sample from the target population is available). Several questionnaires are constructed within the medical research to investigate phenomenon which cannot be explicitly measured (latent variables). READ MORE

  6. 19. Diluted Operation of a Heavy-Duty Natural Gas Engine - Aiming at Improved Effciency, Emission and Maximum Load

    Author : Mehrzad Kaiadi; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbulence; Natural gas engine; Dilution limit; VGT; Cyclic variation; Closed-loop control; Heavy-duty;

    Abstract : Most heavy-duty engines are diesel operated. Severe emission regulations, high fuel prices, high technology costs (e.g. catalysts, fuel injection systems) and unsustainably in supplying fuel are enough reasons to convenience engine developers to explore alternative technologies or fuels.

  7. 20. Partitioned methods for time-dependent thermal fluid-structure interaction

    Author : Azahar Monge; Numerisk analys; []
    Keywords : thermal FSI; Conjugate heat transfer; Domain decomposition; Time adaptivity; Coupled problems; multirate;

    Abstract : The efficient simulation of thermal interaction between fluids and structures is crucial in the design of many industrial products, e.g. turbine blades or rocket nozzles. READ MORE
