Normally the trucks with four wheel drive option will be running in rear wheel drives and the front wheels will be rotating freely. In extreme tough driving conditions, the risk for getting stopped or slipping the rear wheels in mud is high. When the driver tries to engage the four wheel drive option and due to the difference in relative rotational speed of the dog clutch parts, there is a risk for slipping off or bouncing back of the dog clutch. After studying the importance of gear geometry and a few parameters, the team ended up with a new design and the performance of the design found satisfactory when simulated in MSC ADAMS.

The report is about reducing the Eigen weight of a reach stacker in order to obtain decreased fuel consumption. The detail the product development treats is the telescopic boom. By using steel of higher strength the dimension can be decreased, which in turn results in a reduced weight. Suitable steel for the application might be the high strength structural steel of designation S690QL. With support of calculations and CAD simulations the possible weight reduction is assumed to amount to 28%.

This diploma thesis addresses the issues associated with the theory of chip machining of metals. The theories are supported in many chapters by illustrative images created in the SolidWorks 3D modeler. The introductory part is rather theoretical, describing integrally and systematically the basic terms of splinter machining. The subsequent chapters address the issues of the turning tool edge geometry, different types of tools? materials, chip development, forces, work, temperatures and heat emitted during the work. Furthermore, the diploma thesis also addressed issues related to the machining efficiency. Finally, the conclusion of the thesis consists of a description of the basic types of milling and turn machining

Um exemplo é a termoterapia transpupilar a laser (TTT), aplicada no tratamento de um melanoma de coroide. Neste trabalho, foi desenvolvido, através do software comercial SolidWorks®, um modelo tridimensional do olho humano portador de um melanoma de coroide, utilizado para simular o tratamento por TTT, com uso do software comercial ANSYS-CFX®. Para as simulações computacionais, foi utilizado um laser de diodo (810 nm), com 3 mm de diâmetro do feixe e 400 mW a 1000W de potência, com tempo de aplicação de 60 s. A principal contribuição deste trabalho é que o humor vítreo foi considerado completamente liquefeito, o que é esperado à medida que a idade do paciente se torna mais avançada, e passível de movimento convectivo. Ao mesmo tempo, utilizou-se uma estratégia numérica para representar a frente móvel de destruição do tumor. Foram estudados os efeitos da convecção natural no humor vítreo sobre a temperatura e o dano térmico nos diversos tecidos do olho. Os resultados indicam que a presença de convecção no humor vítreo reduz os valores de temperatura e de dano térmico no tumor, embora não influencie significativamente a profundidade do dano térmico irreversível no melanoma de coroide. Tais efeitos aumentam gradualmente quando a viscosidade do humor vítreo diminui do seu valor normal até o valor da viscosidade da água. Também foram realizadas simulações para diversos valores de potência do laser, verificando que seu aumento provoca valores mais elevados de dano térmico, de profundidade do dano térmico e de temperatura na região do tumor. Para valores acima de 800 mW, o dano térmico na córnea foi maior do que o limite de dano térmico reversível, o que é indesejável. Por fim, ao comparar o modelo atual com um modelo 2D, os resultados indicam que este último pode subestimar a temperatura dos tecidos oculares.

Företaget SwePart i Liatorp har tagit fram en prototyp på en planetväxel utan glapp vilken kan gynna bl.a. robotindustrin. Problematiseringen är att växeln låter illa vid rotation vilket är vad som ska studeras i detta arbete.Syftet med det här arbetet är att studera reaktionskrafter mellan kuggarna samt kuggformens inverkan på jämnheten i växelns gång. Dessa studier kan leda till kunskap om orsaken till missljud vid interaktion mellan kuggar på planetväxlar. Målet är att få en större inblick i hur kuggarna påverkar varandra vid kontakt och momentöverföring.Studierna utförs genom simuleringar med hjälp av programmet MSC Adams, där SweParts prototypväxel analyseras genom att ta fram kontaktkrafter mellan ett planethjul och ringhjulet.Simuleringarna visar på stora hopp i amplituden under simuleringens tidsintervall vilket kan vara orsaken till missljud. Detta beror bl.a. på kuggarnas form.

Uppsala University wants to make a wave tank which can be used for experiment and education purpose. The project's aim is to get design parameters required to make a wave tank, design the wave tank, to do analysis on wave parameters taken from results and analysis of material which can be used to construct it.  This project is an extension of the project called Numerical Wave Tank Design in which a literature study on existing wave research facilities was done [1]. The data from this project is used to get the dimensions of the wave tank. A study on hydrodynamics and wave theory is done to understand flow motion and wave generation.   Ansys Fluent is used for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The software is used to test the wave tank with different wave absorber and observe if a good quality wave with a minimal reflection can be generated in the wave tank of chosen dimensions. Four models were created for testing wave absorber of different shapes. The setup for all the models was kept the same for comparison purposes. Waves generated from CFD were later compared with the theoretical waves obtained from wave theory. The next part was to model the wave tank in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, SolidWorks. The stress and strain analysis was done on the walls and support beam of the wave tank to know if the structure can sustain the water when fully filled. After creating static simulation different scenarios were performed on the beam and stand of the wave tank. The design study on these parts was compared to see which case provides a more optimal solution. It was found out that wave absorber having an elevation of 18.4 degrees, i.e., 1:3 slope provides the highest wave height for the given parameter and dimensions of the wave tank. In wave analysis, it was seen that wave height is proportional to the stroke length, water depth is proportional to wave height and time period is inversely proportional to the wave height. Cast stainless steel is used in a wave tank as it is cheap, reliable and robust. It was found out that the support beam 0.015 m thick is enough, although it can be increased to 0.02 m. In the design study of the wave tank stand, it was found out that a leg distance of 0.78 m and a leg width of 0.06 m is sufficient to withstand the weight of the wave tank.
