LTU bidrar till effektivisering av europeisk flygindustri

LTU bidrar till effektivisering av europeisk flygindustri

Den europeiska flygindustrin står inför sin största utmaning någonsin, då nya och hittills oprövade teknologier för ett miljövänligare flyg ska tas fram på ett avsevärt tids- och kostnadseffektivare sätt trots att flygplanens komplexitet ökar radikalt år från år. För att möta denna utmaning deltar Avdelningen för Funktionella produkter vid Luleå tekniska universitet i ett europeiskt forskningsprojekt med totalt 59 partners...

Holographic Product Verification – HOLOPRO

2010-01: The divisions of Functional Product Development, Experimental Mechanics, and Mathemathics have gotten hypothesis testing from VINNOVA. SUMMARY The hypothesis in this project is that it is possible to perform a quantitative evaluation of predefined attributes for a physical product in a manufacturing process in less than one second. Today essentially all product attributes are controlled off-line which limits the...
