  1. 1. Engineering lives : Technology, time and space in a male-centred world

    Författare :Ulf Mellström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ethnography; technology; engineering; MSc engineers; work; career; life-path; microculture; time; space; perspective; horizon; socialisation; masculinity; cars; integrated circuits; participant observation; life-histories; methodological eclecticism; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN; Genus och teknik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with engineers. It is an ethnographic study of the life organisation for seventeen engineers with Master's degrees working at two different workplaces, Automobile Inc. and Microchips Inc. The study is based on participant observation and life-history interviews. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Predicting Safety Benefits of Automated Emergency Braking at Intersections - Virtual simulations based on real-world accident data

    Författare :Ulrich Sander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; injury mitigation; market penetration; accident avoidance; junction; V2X; straight crossing path; AEB; Intersection; left turn across path;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Intersections are a global traffic safety concern. In the United States, around half of all fatal road traffic accidents take place at intersections or were related to them. In the European Union, about one fifth of road traffic fatalities occur at intersections. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Towards enhanced mechanical braking systems for trains. Thermomechanical capacity of wheel treads at stop braking

    Författare :Mandeep Singh Walia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element analysis; full-scale brake rig testing; tread braking; rolling contact fatigue; high temperature fatigue; Railway wheels; stop braking;

    Sammanfattning : Modern trains are equipped with different braking systems, between which the braking effort can be distributed. Among these, tread braking is still the most common system for friction braking. Tread brake systems are cheap and robust. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cooperative Automated Driving for Enhanced Safety and Ethical Decision-Making

    Författare :Galina Sidorenko; Alexey Vinel; Johan Thunberg; Jérôme Härri; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cooperative Intelligent Transportation System C-ITS ; cooperative vehicles; Vehicle-to-Vehicle V2V communication; V2X communications; automated driving; platooning; emergency braking; road safety; vehicular safety; ITS-G5; IEEE 802.11p; ethical dilemmas; ethical decision-making; autonomous driving ethics;

    Sammanfattning : Advances in technologies for vehicular communication enable new applications for Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS). Communicating vehicles share information and cooperate, which allows for improved safety, fuel economy, and traffic efficiency. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Reliability, fatigue and mechanical characterization of lead-free solders for electronic packaging applications

    Författare :Cristina Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reliability.; Isothermal mechanical fatigue; Tensile tests; Mechanical behavior; Electronics; Thermal fatigue; Lead-free solders; Low cycle fatigue;

    Sammanfattning : The ever increasing amount of electronic waste, most of which ends up in landfills, has become a serious worldwide concern. In addition to this, the fact that Pb is highly toxic and harmful to humans has lead to the ban of this element from the electronics industry. LÄS MER
