6. Towards active engine mounting systems for commercial vehicles: modeling and analysis
Sammanfattning : The vehicle engine mounting system, which consists of several mounts connecting the engine to the vehicle structure, not only supports the weight of the engine but also isolates the noise, vibration and the transmitted forces to the vehicle structure. At present conventional elastomeric mounts are widely used in engine mounting systems for commercial vehicles. LÄS MER
7. Drag reduction using plasma actuators
Sammanfattning : This thesis is motivated by the application of active flow control on the cabin of trucks, thereby providing a new means of drag reduction. Particularly, the work presented strives to identify how plasma actuators can be used to reduce the drag caused by the detachment of the flow around the A-pillars. LÄS MER
8. Microfabrication and evaluation of piezoceramic actuators
Sammanfattning : There is an increasing interest for miniaturised actuators in a number of technological fields such as automation or medicine (e.g. prostheses, medical pumps etc.). LÄS MER
9. Tribological Aspects of Pneumatic Clutch Actuators
Sammanfattning : A clutch actuator is used in a vehicle to transmit movement and force from the clutch pedal to the release bearing of the clutch. A pneumatic clutch actuator consists of an anodised aluminium cylinder, inside of which a piston, with a rubber lip seal and a PTFE guiding ring, slides. The system is lubricated with silicone grease before assembly. LÄS MER
10. Photopatternable Electrolytes for Conducting Polymer Actuators
Sammanfattning : Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are materials that can change their dimensions or shape in response to electric stimulation. They have attracted considerable interests for their applications as soft, lightweight and silently operating polymer actuators. One significant group of EAPs is conducting polymers. LÄS MER
