Realistic Package Opening Simulations : An Experimental Mechanics and Physics Based Approach

Licentiate thesis of Eskil Andreasson, presented at BTH 2015-05-08.. Abstract A finite element modeling strategy targeting package opening simulations is the final goal with this work. The developed simulation model will be used to proactively predict the opening compatibility early in the development process of a new opening device and/or a new packaging material. To […]

MOVE Workshop – Innovation workshop facilitation

 The MOVE framework is designed to help you plan an effective internal workshop to address the innovation capabilities within your group or company. MOVE is based on four dimensions of team innovation: Make, Observe, Visualize, and Engage. We talk about dimensions rather than phases because innovation is not a linear process. Use elements of each […]

Adding littleBits to the prototyping experience

Prototyping is at the heart of our engineering education. With resources (via our Karlskrona Makerspace environment) we are now adding the littleBits to our library. LittleBits are electronic circuits that snap together and in an instant you build circuits, add CloudBit and you got it internet connected! For more information: Product Development Research Lab Director, Professor Tobias […]
