To study engineering can be difficult, especially transforming theoretical knowledge into practice. To address this issue, Otto and Wood have developed a reverse engineering and redesign methodology, suggesting that it can be used as a tool in the process of learning mechanical engineering and design. The aim with this report is to Continue reading

Industrial Solid-State Energy Harvesting: Mechanisms and Examples
This paper explores the potential for solid-state energy harvesting in industrial applications. In contrast to traditional heat recovery, the output of solid-state devices is electricity, which can be readily used in virtually any plant. The progress in Continue reading
Robust Repair Methods of Primary Structures in Composite
A request of material change when performing repairs on composite parts of SAABs JAS 39 Gripen has lead to the initiation of this project. The aim is to create a quicker and more robust Continue reading
Design of Automated Packaging Machine
Due to a Chinese factory’s pressing need to increase the speed of paperclip packaging and decrease operating costs, our team was assigned to design a machine that would Continue reading
Feasibility Study of Heating and Cooling Solutions for Wuxi Eco-City
Wuxi city has a strong economy and is well located for an eco city project, only 128 km from Shanghai. Wuxi Eco-City is a Sino-Swedish initiative to build an Continue reading
Design of a Carbon Fibre Rim for a Fuel Efficient Competition Vehicle
Motivated by the persistently pursued weight reductions in a vehicle projected for a fuel efficiency competition, this thesis deals with designing new and lighter rims for the vehicle. The aim of the project is to design the rims with Continue reading
Pedal-Powered Drivetrain System
INTRODUCTION
In conjunction with another senior project team, our intention is to design a system that allows isolated communities to process their own maize. More specifically, our team will design a drive that transmits power from a human-pedaled bicycle to Continue reading
Methods for Failure Analysis Data within Databases and Aids
In an advanced avionics system, the demand of high reliability and availability is of great importance. Testability Analysis is a method of Continue reading
Wine Blending Distribution System
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Greg Fields, the owner of Blend-It Winery and Bistro, wants to open an urban winery where the customers can automatically design their own custom wine blends. The project was worked on in conjunction by two Continue reading
Microscale Investigation of Thermo-Fluid Transport in the Transition FIL, Region of an Evaporating Capillary Meniscus Using a Microgravity Environment
In order to enhance the fundamental understanding of thin film evaporation and thereby improve the critical design concept for two-phase heat transfer devices, microscale heat and mass transport is to be investigated for the transition film region using Continue reading
Dynamic Modeling of Contact-Mode Triboelectric Generators by Lagrange’s Equations
Electret based energy scavenging devices utilize electrostatic induction to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Uses for these devices include harvesting ambient energy in the environment and acting as sensors for a range of Continue reading
