CRESCENDO – Collaborative and Robust Engineering using Simulation Capability Enabling Next Design Optimisation EU FP7 Integrated Project 2009-2012 (completed) PROJECT SUMMARY The IMG4 project CRESCENDO addresses the Vision 2020 objectives for the aeronautical industry by contributing significantly to the fulfilment of three specific targets of the aeronautical industry’s Strategic Research Agenda. CRESCENDO will develop the foundations for the Behavioural Digital...
Research paper published in Journal of Engineering Design. Abstract Product-Service Systems (PSS) raise interesting opportunities for the manufacturing firm as the function is provided to meet customer needs rather than the physical hardware itself. PSS offerings based on the manufacturer’s knowledge about the product and the technology can increase its status as problem-solver and solution-provider, reduce life cycle cost and...

Project summary The concept of product-service system (PSS), or functional product development, will be a main component in a future sustainable society. A PSS paradigm will, not only, change the use of products and services, but also the development approaches. This since the responsibility of the physical artefact throughout the life-cycle is remaining with the providing enterprise. The perspectives of...
Leif Östling, President and CEO for Scania, visited research labs at LTU during thursday. He started the tour by stopping by Machine Elements Tribolab, one of Europe’s leading experimental facilities in tribology, presented by Professor Roland Larsson. Tobias Larsson, professor in Functional Product Development presented the research within product development where the experiments are of more virtual character and method...
The Faste Laboratory – A VINN Excellence Centre VINN Excellence Centre for Functional Product Innovation. 2007-2016 (ongoing) PROJECT SUMMARY Functional Product Innovation will be the main contribution to sustainable growth in that the function provider will have the responsibility of the physical artefact throughout the life-cycle and by innovations also have the capacity to continuously improve the customer value. Vision:...
National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: NFFP490 – Functional Jet Engine Components 2003-2007 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY When selling a product today it contains much more than just hardware. Without a service part the product would be of no value for the customer. To be able to evaluate and choose the best concept the overall package need to be reconsidered. The...
FLUD – Swedish Green Engine Demonstrator PROJECT SUMMARY New materials and design solutions shall make future aircraft engines more environmentally friendly. VINNOVA, together with Volvo Aero invests 126 million SEK in a national program to develop lightweight and fuel efficient engines. During the period 2000 to 2020 aerospace need to halve their carbon emissions. The industry has agreed on this....
National Aviation Engineering Research Programme Project: V4401 – Service Concept Design 2005-2007 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY The project aim at strengthen the aerospace industry competence within Functional Product Development. The approach is activity based modelling, simulation and visualization of hardware based services in the concept phase of the product development process. PROJECT INFORMATION Role: Project leader and supervisor Type: PhD research...
Value Improvement through a Virtual Aeronautical Collaborative Enterprise. An EU FP6 Integrated Project. 2004-2007 (finalized) PROJECT SUMMARY VIVACE is an Aeronautical Collaborative Design Environment with associated Processes, Models and Methods. This environment will help to design an aircraft and its engines as a whole, providing to the aeronautics supply chain in an extended enterprise, virtual products with all requested functionality...
