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...
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...
2009-12: The VINNOVA programme for vehicular research “Fordonsstrategisk Forskning och Innovation – FFI”, has decided to fund the research project “Robust Machining” with 10 million SEK. The project runs over 2009-2012 and has a total budget of 24 MSEK. Within the project FPD will research knowledge intense applications for manufacturing, Knowledge Engineering. New generations of environmentally friendly and safe vehicles...
The annual result day for ProViking was this year held at Aspenäs Manor outside Gothenburg, where 15 projects presented their results. ProViking is a national research program designed to create improved systems of production and new methods of product development. From Luleå University of Technology three projects participated; THINK, ProAct and InMaint. The presentations took place in showcases constructed by...
2009-09: Nine members of the Division of Functional Product Development staff participated in the 17th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED’09), which was held at Stanford University, CA, between August 24-27 2009.
