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. Four professors at ICED’09 – from left: Tobias Larsson (LTU, Sweden), Amaresh Chakrabarti (IISC, India), Larry Leifer (Stanford, USA), Göran Broman (BTH, Sweden). In total, the division contributed...
2009-09: Divison of Functional Product Development in collaboration with Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Powertrain and Linköping University of Technology have been granted the project “Fuel Efficient Transmission Technology Concepts: Design Methodology” within the VINNOVA program “Fordonsstrategisk Forskning och Innovation” (FFI). The project budget is 18 MSEK 2009-2012 and aims at improving the process from concept to detailed solution, with extra...
2009-06: Division of Functional Product Development, in collaboration with Solid Mechanics, Material Mechanics, and Volvo Aero have been granted 4.4 MSEK over two years for “METOPIA – METhodology for OPtimization, Integration and Automatization”. The project intends to develop methodologies for analysis of whole engine concepts in aerospace applications using Systems Modelling and Simulation Driven Design and Product Development. One step...
2009-04: Professor Tobias Larsson from the Division of FPD has been chosen to take part in a working group that aims to create a national research agenda for the Swedish aerospace industry. Interim results are presented at the Paris Air Show in June. The working group, which consists of representatives from research organizations and industry companies, will develop a strategic...
Det gränsregionala samarbetsprogrammet Interreg IV A Nord höll sitt tredje styrkommittémöte i Tromsö och beviljade projektet DIM – Digital Integrated Manufacturing till Avdelningen för Funktionella produkter. Huvudsökande är Mellersta Österbottens yrkeshögskola, och medsökande Funktionella Produkter (Luleå tekniska universitet) och Högskolan i Narvik. Projektet varar i 2 år och har en budget om ca 9 MSEK. Syftet med projektet är att...
2009-02: FUNKTIONEERING MAGAZINE is published by the Division of Functional Product Development at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden. This inaugural issue has been made possible through the generous support provided by the Kempe Foundations to strengthen the collaboration between Luleå University of Technology and Stanford University. This issue primarily reports on some of the collaborative endeavours we have embarked on...
