The Marlin
The Marlin project aims to develop an underwater vehicle, short UV, that is intended to serve as a platform for future projects where students can further develop and add features. The modular hull design from Amethyst gives a solid foundation for the development of The Marlin. A key component of the UV is its watertightContinue reading “The Marlin”
Malmös cultural hub
In the heart of Malmö, a diverse and vibrant community is planned through inclusive urban planning. The neighborhood aims to bring people from different cultures together in a harmonious living environment. A cultural center lies at the core of the design, serving as a hub for art, music, cuisine, and traditions from around the world.Continue reading “Malmös cultural hub”
Developing an autonomous sensor cleaning system
In collaboration with Volvo Group Trucks Technology, Construction Equipment and Innovation Hub, Blekinge Institute of Technology, and Stanford University, a joint effort was made to develop a product for the future market using biomimicry. By conducting needfinding and consulting with users and experts worldwide, it was discovered that there was a need to keep sensorsContinue reading “Developing an autonomous sensor cleaning system”
Simulate the eCCR system and be able to distinguish faulty sensors from correct sensors in diving apparatus
Diving is an important part of military and commercial purposes. The most advanced diving apparatus today is an eCCR, electrical Closed Circuit Rebreather. A rebreather works by recycling the exhaled oxygen that the diver breathes out. This way minimal oxygen is used compared to other diving apparatuses. An eCCR utilizes oxygen sensors, which are notContinue reading “Simulate the eCCR system and be able to distinguish faulty sensors from correct sensors in diving apparatus”
Examine defects in aluminium profiles
When aluminium profiles are manufactured, defects may arise, especially when the profiles are manufactured through extrusion. During the extrusion process, these defects occur on parts of the extruded material because of contaminates that need to be found.The goal of the project is to examine two different types of methods that are suited for aluminium profilesContinue reading “Examine defects in aluminium profiles”
Detect electromagnetic fields that are created around a cable
The project concerns how a system can be created to detect electromagnetic fields that are created around a cable.The goal was to investigate how the location of the soil affects the electromagnetic field and thus the detection ability of an underwater cable. The problem is that the current going to the soil induces its ownContinue reading “Detect electromagnetic fields that are created around a cable”
Failsafe and raise the efficiency of the grinding process in a production environment
The main purpose of this project is to failsafe and raise the efficiency of the grinding process in a production environment by making it possible to detect blockages in initial stages inside the system. The project has been defined to focus on solving the problems concerning the operational safety of the system since it´s mandatoryContinue reading “Failsafe and raise the efficiency of the grinding process in a production environment”
Pick up objects autonomously from the water
The project was based on building upon the Stingray catamaran, which was developed in the 2022 edition of the corresponding course in Marine Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology. Stingray provided a basic structure and design that the project could build upon. The purpose of the project was to equip Stingray to be able toContinue reading “Pick up objects autonomously from the water”
Validation of Finite Element Model of a Tetra Pak Package
There is a high dependency on accurate finite element models in the packaging industry for concept selection, design and virtual validation of packages. One of the most used materials for these packages is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This material is highly anisotropic, strain rate dependent and has different behavior in tension and compression. The objective ofContinue reading “Validation of Finite Element Model of a Tetra Pak Package”
