METOPIA – METhodology for OPtimization, Integration and Automatization | 2009-2011

National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: PROJECT SUMMARY This project, Mechanical whole engine conceptual design and analysis:  A MEthodology for OPtimization, Integration and Automation, is a continuation of the pilot study project NFFP4202 – Mechanical whole engine modelling where a platform, together with a pilot that demonstrated the capability of the platform in an industrial scenario, was developed. This continuation...

Whole Engine Modelling | 2007-2009

National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: V4202 Whole Engine Modelling 2007-2009 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY When it comes to mechanical properties, the continuous drive to reduce the weight that the engine system needs to be optimized even from a mechanical perspective. Companies with a main role to develop engine components and sub-systems hence need the capacity and knowledge to perform the...

Hydraulic engine analysis

This project was performed together with Hägglunds Drives AB in Mellansel, Örnsköldsvik, and concerned dynamic analysis of their hydraulic engine designs. The motive was to find maximum forces between rollers and cam and if at any time a contact loss appeared.

GUL – Innovative engine development

In the GUL project a radically new, and patented, engine was being further developed and analyzed, with focus on dynamic loads. Animations and force diagrams were also developed. View animation of GUL concept: [AVI movie | 3 MB]

Variable engine valve technology

This project was performed together with MCM Engine Technology Inc. in Costa Mesa, California, USA, and concerned design and dynamic analysis of an innovative variable valve technology, primarily intended for use in motorcycle engines.
