1. On Simulation of Uniform Wear and Profile Evolution in the Wheel - Rail Contact
Abstract : Numerical procedures for reliable wheel and rail wear prediction are rare. Recent development of simulation techniques and computer power together with tribological knowledge do however suggest computer aided wear prediction as possible. READ MORE

2. Optimisation of Machining Operations by means of Finite Element Method and Tailored Experiments
Abstract : Traditionally, costly experimental procedures have been followed in industry to optimise the machining operations to secure the maximum efficiency in production line, while the functional requirements of the machined surfaces are fulfilled. In recent years, development of robust numerical techniques such as Finite Element Method (FEM) and advances in computing capacity of computers have made it possible to simulate the machining operations under operational conditions.

3. Integrated brake control : downhill driving strategies
Abstract : In this thesis, downhill driving strategies that co–ordinate the different brake actuators in heavy duty vehicles have been developed. As a starting point, the vehicle features affected by the retardation system are investigated. READ MORE

4. Alternatives to pickling : preparation of carbon and low alloyed steel wire rod
Abstract : A well established method for scale removal on hot rolled wire rod is pickling. To avoid pollution problems, the wire rod can be mechanically descaled. By this method, the removed scale can be recirculated to the blast furnace. In batch pickling considerable energy is necessary; e. READ MORE

5. Fatigue of Heavy-Vehicle Engine Materials : Experimental Analysis and Life Estimation
Abstract : The heavy-vehicle automotive industry is constantly subjected to higher demands. In particular, new European emission standards are formulated with the intention of improving the environmental friendliness of newly-produced vehicles through reduced exhaust emission. READ MORE
