VIRTUAL CONTEXTUAL VALIDATION OF TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODS FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
- 5th May 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT Despite significant validation and even qualification efforts, complex industrial product development projects frequently struggle with difficulties in integrating new technologies. A recent example, the introduction of new battery technologies in the Boeing 787 aircraft caused un-desired problems for the manufacturer and drove new practices (Williard et al 2013). The effort and cost of validating […]

- 2nd May 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT Self-similar solutions are found for a quadratically cubic second-order partial differential equation governing the behavior of nonlinear waves in various distributed systems, for example, in some metamaterials. They are compared with self-similar solutions of the Burgers equation. One of them describing a single unipolar pulse is shown to satisfy both equations. The other self-similar […]

Models for Value-driven engineering design
- 25th April 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT Nowadays, it is a great challenge to understand what models shall be used to iteratively translate customer desires into terms that are meaningful for engineering design decision-making. This paper proposes a framework illustrating the iterative evolution of model-based enablers for value during conceptual system design. The framework is developed from the analysis of four […]

Competitiveness and sustainability effects of cars and their business models in Swedish small town regions
- 20th April 2016
- No Comment
Research paper published in Journal of Cleaner Production. Highlights Gasoline car causes the most emissions from its manufacturing and use phases. Local jobs from renewables give positive contribution to social sustainability. Renewable electricity in electric carpool cause least socio-ecological impact. Car Pooling is more cost-effective for those who drive from 2000 to 8500 km. People travel […]

- 20th April 2016
- No Comment
ABSTRACT The subsurface exploration of other planetary bodies can be used to unravel their geological history and assess their habitability. On Mars in particular, present-day habitable conditions may be restricted to the subsurface. Using a deep subsurface mine, we carried out a program of extraterrestrial analog research â MINe Analog Research (MINAR). MINAR aims to […]
