Online collaborative workspaces

This project for Designtech concerned a study of online collaborative workspaces. With online collaboration emerging as a key activity for companies and organizations working on a global arena, there are rapidly increasing demands for services that efficiently support collaboration in globally distributed teams. While making online collaboration a success is...

Siemens-Elema X-ray

For Siemens-Elema, a seminar was put together to demonstrate possibilities with modeling and simulation to improve the product development. The seminar will demonstrate the potential of simulation in product development process. It offers a view of what can be done with computational tools in the current situation, highlighting the ways and methodsand to demonstrate trends in the field. The seminar focuses on the finite element analysis and dynamic analysis, but affects the development...

Kalix raceway velodrome

This project concerned the creation of a velodrome curve for the Kalix raceway coming up to their Swedish championship hosting. The task involved mapping the existing raceway track geometry, performing the necessary math and dynamics calculations to enable an interesting, and unique driving experience during a race. A web bases...

Hydraulic engine analysis

This project was performed together with Hägglunds Drives AB in Mellansel, Örnsköldsvik, and concerned dynamic analysis of their hydraulic engine designs. The motive was to find maximum forces between rollers and cam and if at any time a contact loss appeared.

Highspeed train simulation (X2000)

During the course of the work at Luleå University of Technology I did lots of work in the area of high speed train current collector systems together with my colleagues. My PhD thesis had work and papers from this fascinating area. Below are some videos and images from this work...

GUL – Innovative engine development

In the GUL project a radically new, and patented, engine was being further developed and analyzed, with focus on dynamic loads. Animations and force diagrams were also developed. View animation of GUL concept: [AVI movie | 3 MB]
