Part of the thesis is also complete drawing documentation.

The master’s thesis is focused around the mounting of an inner support structure to the Swedish warship Vasa and was given by Camatec Industriteknik AB. The Swedish warship Vasa is one of the greatest national treasures of Sweden. The ship was built high and narrow, therefore a small gust of wind made her capsize during her maiden journey. Today it is the world’s bestpreserved ship from the 17th century and has been on display for the public at the Vasa museum since the year 1990. The purpose of the master’s thesis was to generate and evaluate concepts for the mounting of the inner support structure to the Swedish warship Vasa. The master’s thesis had the following goals: To generate and analyse possible concepts regarding the mounting. Final proposals of the mounting created in CAD. FEM calculations of the final proposals to ensure that they handle the load conditions properly. The master’s thesis followed the methodical process of product development with the steps: pilot study, concept generation, concept selection and concept evaluation. Three concepts were selected for further analysis. Two concepts involved a timber tong around the hanging knees. One fastened in a present structure of the ship (concept Y2.1) and the other one attached clamping force created by a spring in the construction (concept Y2.2). The third concept was a metal sheet between the main wales at the outside of the ship (concept G5). The concept Y2.1 was eliminated due to high local stress concentrations at the attachment in the ship. The concept Y2.2 showed some desirable features, including visual representation if tension was present. However, it was not ensured that the concept can keep the surface pressure below the maximum 0.15 MPa. Another uncertainty with the concept was the behaviour of the timber tongs if movement of the hull occurred. Therefore, the concept Y2.2 needs additional work before it can be continued or eliminated. The concept G5 handled the loading case without exceeding the required surface pressure. However, a decision whether the metal sheets would be to visible for visitors needs to be taken before continuing with or eliminate the concept. In summary, the concepts need further analysing before a final concept selection can be done. / Examensarbetet har fokuserat på infästningen av en inre stödstrukturen till regalskeppet Vasa och har utförts tillsammans med Camatec Industriteknik AB. Vasaskeppet är idag en av Sveriges största nationalskatter. Skeppet byggdes högt och smalt, således fick en mild bris henne att kantra under sin jungfruresa. Det är idag världens mest bevarade skepp från 1600- talet och har funnits på utställning sen 1990. Syftet med examensarbetet var att generera och utvärdera koncept för infästningen av den inre stödstrukturen till regalskeppet Vasa. Målen med examensarbetet var: Att generera och analysera möjliga koncept till infästningen. Modellera de valda koncepten i CAD. Utföra FEM- simuleringar på de valda koncepten för att säkerställa att lasterna fördelas rätt. Examensarbetet följer produktutvecklingsprocessen och har behandlat följande steg: förstudie, konceptgenerering, konceptval samt konceptutvärdering. Tre koncept valdes att tas vidare för djupare analys. Två koncept involverade en timmersax runt knäna på skeppet. Ett som fästes i skeppets befintliga struktur (koncept Y2.1) medans det andra fäste enbart med klämkraft som uppkom tack vare en fjäder i konstruktionen (koncept Y2.2). Det tredje konceptet var en plåt mellan berghultarna på utsidan av skeppet (koncept G5). Konceptet Y2.1 eliminerades på grund av de lokalt höga spänningskoncentrationer som uppkom. Konceptet Y2.2 visade upp önskvärda funktioner, såsom att visuellt påvisa drag. Dock är det inte säkerställt att konceptet genererar ett yttryck under det maximala trycket på 0.15 MPa. Ytterligare är timmersaxens beteende vid rörelse av skrovet osäkert. Således krävs fortsatt arbete med konceptet Y2.2 innan det kan tas vidare eller elimineras. Konceptet G5 hanterade lasterna utan att överskrida den maximala gränsen för yttrycket. Däremot måste ett beslut fattas, angående om plåtarna mellan berghultarna är för synlig eller inte, innan konceptet kan tas vidare eller elimineras. Sammanfattningsvis behöver vidare analys av koncepten ske innan ett slutligt konceptval kan fattas.

In this thesis, different optomechanical design and adhesive configurations for mounting mirrors and prisms used in a laser system are investigated. Maintaining stability and strength of optical components of a laser device is difficult especially if the system is to be used in military environment. In order to determine the strength of prism mounts to high acceleration levels, mathematical correlations derived by Yoder are used. By use of these mathematical correlations, safety factor of different prism mounts and adhesive configurations are calculated for an acceleration level of 40g. So as to decide most stable mirror mount and adhesive configuration, several experiments are conducted. For the experiments, 5 different optomechanical mounts are designed. Then, 25 mirrors are bonded to the designed mounts with 5 different adhesives. These experiments are done to simulate harsh military environmental conditions such as thermal shock, mechanical vibration and mechanical shock. In the experiments, angular movement of mirrors due to adhesive cure, thermal shock, mechanical vibration and mechanical shock are monitored. Thermal shock is applied between -40&ordm / C and 70&ordm / C with a temperature change of 22&ordm / C/min. On the v other hand, mechanical vibration of 14 grms and mechanical shock of 40g for 6 ms is applied in the experiments. Shortly, this study is done for determination of the most stable mirror and prism mount design and adhesive combination of a laser system subjected to extremely harsh environments.

This thesis looks into current requirements of having fire extinguisher in a car in both the Czech Republic and other countries. At first, there is an evaluation of current ways of mounting fire extinguishers in cars, as well as evaluation of various requirements concering safety and ergonomy of mounting fire extinguisher in a car and also what are the hazards of having unattached fire extihnguisher in the passenger compartment. The objective of this thesis is to desing and test a fire extinguisher holder which would fullfil these requirements and which will not require changes in the body of the vehicle. The final part of this thesis deals with evaluating of possibilities of mounting this holder into several types of vehicles.

This paper describes the process of developing a product for the solar industry. It is the story of starting a business in the solar market by designing a product, manufacturing the product and growing sales to over $1 million USD in 2011 and 2012. The author is describing the actual details of a manufacturing company that produces solar racking systems in the USA. The author founded the company in 2009 and left the company at the end of 2012. The document describes the changing landscape of the racking sector of the US PV market, and makes the case for industry standards in solar module dimensions. The range of current sizes of solar modules is described. The inconsistency in sizes creates additional overhead for manufacturers to accommodate different sized parts to hold the different solar panels. A uniform standard size would result in cost reductions for the end customers.

Syfte:  Produktionsvolymen av KL-trä har de senaste åren ökat i Sverige, vilket ligger till grund för ett ökat kunskapsbehov hos entreprenörer. Ett svenskt entreprenadföretag genomför våren 2021 sitt första projekt med KL-trästomme. Studiens mål är därför att identifiera nyckelfaktorer och förbättringsmöjligheter för ett entreprenadföretags första monteringsprocess i KL-trä. Genom det ska studien bidra till ökade kunskaper för framtida projekt i KL-trä. Metod: Studien är en fallstudie med litteraturstudier, intervjuer och observationer av ett referensprojekt. Litteraturstudier av befintlig forskning ger en förklaringsansats för erhållen empiri från intervjuer och observationer. Erhållen empiri analyseras tematiskt utifrån förklaringsansatsen och studiens frågeställningar. Resultat:  Studien visar främst på sju nyckelfaktorer och förbättringsmöjligheter vilka av studien anses relevanta att beakta vid en monteringsprocess i KL-trä. Dessa punkter är platstillverkade innerväggar, erfarenhetsåterföring, infästning, monteringsledare, personal, projektering och väderskydd. Konsekvenser:  Med hjälp av genomförd studie ska entreprenadföretag vilka genomför sina första totalentreprenader med KL-trästomme kunna ta lärdom från referensprojektets monteringsprocess. Studiens mål är att erhållna erfarenheter ska ge företag bättre förutsättningar inför framtida projekt i KL-trä. Vidare rekommenderas fler studier inom ämnet för ökade kunskaper för entreprenörer kring monteringsprocessen i KL-trä. Begränsningar:  Slutsatser och resultat rör främst totalentreprenörer vid byggnation av KL-trästomme liknande studiens referensprojekt. Eftersom studien endast rör ett referensprojekt med åtta respondenter anses resultatet inte generaliserbart. I syfte att åstadkomma ett generaliserbart resultat bör fler liknande studier i samarbete med andra företag genomföras. / Purpose:  Sweden’s production of cross laminated timber (CLT) has increased over the recent years which creates a demand of knowledge for contractors. A Swedish contactor implement their first project with a CLT-frame the spring of 2021. This study strives to identify key factors and improvements for a contractors first mounting process with CLT. Through this strives the study to contribute to increased knowledge for future projects with CLT. Method:  The study is a case-study with interviews and observations of a reference project. Document studies of existing science provides an explanatory approach for collected empirical data from interviews and observations. Collected empirical data is thematical analyzed based on the explanatory approach and the studies issues. Findings:  This study concludes mainly seven key factors and improvements who is considered relevant when implementing a mounting process with CLT. These findings are on-site manufactured indoor walls, experience feedback, fastener, mounting conductor, staff, design, and weather protection. Implications:  With this study, contractors who implement their first design and& build contracts with a CLT-frame could learn from the mounting process of the reference project. The aim of this study is that gained experiences provides contractors better prerequisites before future CLT-projects. Complementary studies regarding the subject are recommended for contractors increased knowledge of the mounting process with CLT. Limitations:  Conclusions and results from this study mainly concerns design and& build contractors mounting a CLT-frame similar with the reference project. Since the study solely concern one reference project with eight respondents, the result is not considered generalizable. To gain a generalizable result, more studies similar with this and in corporation with other companies could be done.
