  2. 16. Simulation of turbocharged SI-engines - with focus on the turbine

    Author : Fredrik Westin; Hans-Erik Ångström; Gordon P Blair; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Engineering design; turbocharging simulation 1D turbine accuracy SI-engine; Konstruktionsteknik; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The aim is to share experience gained when simulating (and doing measurements on) the turbocharged SI-engine as well as describing the limits of current state of the technology. In addition an overview of current boosting systems is provided. READ MORE

  4. 17. Towards Model-Based Condition Monitoring of Railway Switches and Crossings

    Author : Marko Milosevic; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sleeper void; Switches crossings; condition indicators; embedded sleeper accelerometer; multi-body simulations; dynamic vehicle–track interaction; MBS; S C; wheel–rail contact forces; condition monitoring; crossing rail geometry; displacement reconstruction.; model calibration;

    Abstract : Railway switches and crossings (S&C, turnouts) connect different track sections and create a railway network by allowing for trains to change between tracks. This functionality comes at a cost as the load-inducing rail discontinuities in the switch and crossing panels cause much higher degradation rates for S&C compared to regular plain line track.

  5. 18. Towards Increased Use of Discrete-Event Simulation for Hospital Resource Planning

    Author : Krisjanis Steins; Jan Lundgren; Fredrik Persson; Sten Walther; Sally Brailsford; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Health care systems in many countries are experiencing a growing demand while their resources remain limited. The discrepancy between demand and capacity creates many problems – long waiting times for treatment, overcrowding in hospital wards, high workload, etc. READ MORE

  6. 19. A study of vehicle fatigue damage predictions based on state estimations

    Author : Ulrika Lagerblad; Artem Kulachenko; Henrik Wentzel; Costas Papadimitriou; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; State estimations; Fatigue damage; Damage predictions; Fixed-lag Kalman Smoother; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Individual health monitoring of heavy vehicles is one of the keystones on which an optimized utility of a vehicle fleet is based. For many components mounted on the chassis of a heavy vehicle, failures due to fatigue is a major concern. READ MORE

  7. 20. Freezing Temperature Flows in Railway Tunnels and its Consequence on the Rock Supporting Structure, the Rock and the Reinforcing Elements

    Author : Anna Andrén; Lars-Olof Dahlström; Erling Nordlund; Lars O Ericsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tunnel; frost penetration; ice formation; freeze-thaw test; frost shattering; temperature measurement; maintenance; degradation of rock and shotcrete; cold climate; Tunnel; köldinträngning; isbildning; frystester; frostsprängning; temperaturmätning; underhåll; nedbrytning av berg och sprutbetong; kallt klimat; Mining and Rock Engineering; Gruv- och berganläggningsteknik;

    Abstract : Water in the surrounding rock mass flows into the tunnel via naturally occurring joints and via cracks caused by the blasting used to excavate the tunnel. The most common method in Sweden to reduce or prevent leakage problems are first and foremost the use of grouting. READ MORE
