2. 1. Circular Business Models for Electric Vehicle Battery Second Life : Challenges, enablers, and preconditions from an ecosystem perspective

   Author : Reza Toorajipour; Koteshwar Chirumalla; Fredrik Wallin; Vinit Parida; Patricia Van Loon; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electric vehicle battery second life; circular business models; ecosystem; electric vehicles; EV batteries; circular business model innovation; circular economy; preconditions; second life configurations; battery second life; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

   Abstract : Sustainability has become a critical issue due to global warming, scarcity of resources, and the high costs of raw materials. It is vital to reconsider linear business models and value creation processes and transition towards circularity. The growth of the electric vehicles market is promising; however, it comes with a major downside. READ MORE

4. 2. Life Cycle Energy Optimisation: A multidisciplinary engineering design optimisation framework for sustainable vehicle development

   Author : Hamza Bouchouireb; Ciarán J. O'Reilly; Peter Göransson; Rupert J. Baumgartner; José Potting; Mario Hirz; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life cycle energy optimisation; Multidisciplinary optimisation; Integrative design; Sustainable vehicle design; Functional conflicts; Vehicle aerodynamics; Battery energy storage systems; Robust design; Uncertainty propagation; Livscykelenergi; Fordonsdesign; Optimering; Tvär-funktionella konflikter; Farkostteknik; Vehicle and Maritime Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis explores how the systemic-level environmental footprint of light-duty vehicles could be reduced through integrative design using the Life Cycle Energy Optimisation (LCEO) methodology. This methodology aims at finding a design solution that uses a minimum amount of cumulative energy demand over the different phases of the vehicle's life cycle; while complying with a set of functional constraints, thereby avoiding any sub-optimal energy demand shifts between the vehicle's different life cycle phases.

5. 3. Capturing the life cycle environmental performance of a company’s manufacturing system

   Author : Birger Löfgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; actor; DES; LCA; Manufacturing decision making;

   Abstract : This research has developed methods for manufacturing decision makers to measure manufacturing environmental performance and to predict the environmental consequences of alternative manufacturing system configurations. The ideas behind the methods are based on life-cycle thinking from the perspective of an industrial actor, and its decision makers, in the value chain of a product. READ MORE

6. 4. Tools, Techniques, and Trade-offs when Porting Large Software Systems to New Environments

   Author : Simon Kågström; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Operating systems; Binary Translation;

   Abstract : Computer hardware and software evolve very fast. With the advent of chip-multiprocessors and symmetric multithreading, multiprocessor hardware configurations are becoming prevalent. READ MORE

7. 5. Automated System-Level Software Testing of Industrial Networked Embedded Systems

   Author : Per Erik Strandberg; Sundmark Daniel; Wasif Afzal; Burak Turhan; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Embedded systems are ubiquitous and play critical roles in management systems for industry and transport. Software failures in these domains may lead to loss of production or even loss of life, so the software in these systems needs to be reliable. READ MORE
