  2. 1. Precision measurement instruments for machinery's mechanical compliance: design and operation : Measurement instruments for physics-based calibration of advanced manufacturing machinery

    Author : Nikolas Alexander Theissen; Andreas Archenti; Alexander Slocum; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Measurement instruments; Machine tools; Industrial robots; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Abstract :  Precision Measurement Instruments (PMIs) for machinery’s mechanical compliance are tools to quantify mechanical load as well as length for measurement ranges of 0.1 µm to 10 m at uncertainty levels of 0.1 µm to 100 µm while exerting mechanical loads. READ MORE

  4. 2. Life cycle assessment of electric vehicle batteries and new technologies

    Author : Mats Zackrisson; Magnus Wiktorsson; Martin Kurdve; Christina Jönsson; Anders Nordelöf; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment; LCA; electric vehicle; sustainability; eco-design; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Abstract : Electrification of vehicles has for decades been explored as a possible solution to the problem of climate change. Today, in 2021, the issue is no longer whether the electrification of vehicle fleets ought to happen but rather how it can be achieved with as little environmental impact as possible. READ MORE

  5. 3. Investigating the role of spatial ability as a factor of human intelligence in technology education : Towards a causal theory of the relationship between spatial ability and STEM education

    Author : Jeffrey Buckley; Niall Seery; Donal Canty; Lena Gumaelius; David Spendlove; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Education is a particularly complex discipline due to the numerous variables which impact on teaching and learning. Due to the large effect of human intelligence on the variance in student educational achievement, there is a substantial need to further contemporary understandings of its role in education.

  6. 4. The Industrial TransformationTowards the Circular Economy : Dynamics, Drivers and Constraints

    Author : Armaghan Chizaryfard; Cali Nuur; Paolo Trucco; Emrah Karakaya; Allan Dahl Andersen; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Circular economy; industrial dynamics; evolutionary theory; closed loop supply; industry value chain; Industrial Economics and Management; Industriell ekonomi och organisation;

    Abstract : The notion of the circular economy has recently been posited as a vital strategy to mitigate climate change. At the industrial level, the circular economy envisions socio-industrial transformation to closed-loop material systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Opening the black box of material criticality : heterogeneity and interrelations of companies within and across industrial sectors

    Author : Yulia Lapko; Cali Nuur; Paolo Trucco; Aristides Matopoulos; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Critical materials; Identification; Mitigation; Company; Supply chain; Inter-sectoral competition; Buyer-supplier power relations; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Economics and Management;

    Abstract : The concept of ‘material criticality’ has been introduced to examine availability and accessibility of natural resources that underlie industrial competitiveness and deployment of strategic technologies, such as electric mobility or wind turbines. The academic and policy discourse conceptualised material criticality rather as a black box, assuming industrial sectors to be monolithic, homogeneous and independent entities, neglecting complexity of the company dimension.
