  5. 3. Visual replenishment methods in the manufacturing industry and suggestion for a decision tool

    Author : Stefan Eriksson; Lars Bengtsson; Mauro Onori; Peter Gröndahl; Stig-Arne Mattsson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; materials supply; replenishment methods; visual; selecting methods; decision tool;

    Abstract : In almost all supply chains, materials need to be stored or buffered, implying that manufacturing companies need effective replenishment methods. However, this is challenging, since companies must balance inventory costs and customer service in complex and different situations. Therefore, it is important to choose replenishment methods carefully. READ MORE

  6. 4. Complex Cavity Analysis : Analytical Fluid-Power Models Using CAD Information

    Author : Magnus Sethson; Richard T. Burton; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis covers different methods of topology search for making time-domain simulation models based on geometric information. The application is in the field of fluid-power. Automatic methods for extracting simulation models from CAD data are presented. READ MORE

  7. 5. Thermal crack estimation in early age concrete : models and methods for practical application

    Author : Mårten Larson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Control of thermal cracking in young concrete is of great importance to ensure a desired service life time and function of a structure. Making reliable thermal stress estimations, and thereby conclusions about cracking risks, involves advanced modelling of material properties and structural restraint. READ MORE
