This master thesis was performed at the company BAE Systems Hägglunds AB, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. Hägglunds has its main market within the defense industry and is the developers and manufacturers of the combat vehicle CV90 and the terrain vehicle BvS10. Since a few years back, Hägglunds has investigated the potential to apply its technologies from these vehicles to a product for the civil market. Th
The main focus of this Master Thesis is the development and evaluation of an actuation system that controls a variable compressor for the automotive industry. This variation allows the compressor to produce different boost pressures on demand. Before the development process could start a theoretical analysis of the different forces acting on the system were conducted. These analyses consisted of a
Due to their outstanding mechanical properties, fibre reinforced materials allow a substantial reduction of mass for modern vehicles, thus making energy-efficient mobility viable. However, the cost for material and manufacturing of parts made out of carbon exceed the allowable costs for a broad market. New preforming technologies offer a potential to manufacture composite parts in a highly automat
This report is the product of my master thesis in technical design with a focus on product development. The project was done in co-operation with Wayne, who produces and sells fuel dispensers and are a part of General Electrics, at their Malmö office in Sweden. For their latest line of fuel dispensers, Helix, they were in need of a system for describing different configurations for the barrier, an
This master thesis covers the process followed in the re-design and optimization of a structural part in a supercar. The part reviewed is the Rear Cross Frame currently in production of all Koenigsegg’s supercars. In the new revision of the part, the material is Carbon Fiber. The version currently in production is made of steel. The shape has been modified to fit the Carbon Fiber manufacturing req
Abstract Det senmoderna samhället karakteriseras av en riktning mot ett alltmer individualiserat samhälle. Detta påverkar såväl organisationer som individer. Extra utsatta i denna samhällsutveckling är organisationerna som verkar inom tredje sektorn då de bygger på ett kollektivistiskt förhållningssätt och en solidarisk ideologi. Vi har valt att se närmare på denna utveckling inom organisationen
Syfte: Studien ämnar att skapa en djupare förståelse för individanpassad marknadsföring och hur individanpassade annonser påverkar individers positiva målgruppsresons i form av individers klickintention. Metod: Studiens metod grundar sig i en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en hermeneutiskt fenomenologiskt strategi. Den forskningsansats som använts är av abduktiv karaktär. Teoretiska perspektiv
Denna uppsats ämnar att studera de politiska och kulturella konsekvenserna i Polen efter flygkraschen av Tu-154 i Smolensk 10/4-2010 där den polske presidenten Lech Kaczyński tillsammans med första damen och stora delar av den polska politiska, militära, kulturella och civila eliten omkom, utifrån teorin om kulturell trauma. Detta genomförs med en analys av diskursen kring ämnet grundad i Polens s

2016-2018, a national user-led organization within the psychiatric field in Sweden established a partnership-based model regarding the implementation and management of peer support within psychiatric health care units. This study was based on a user-led organization and a psychiatric health care organization about to initiate such a partnership. The aim was to examine how these parties constructed
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of diverse boards with one, two, three or more women in limited companies founded in Sweden in 2010 on financial performance. Firm’s characteristics as board’s gender distribution, net sales, ROE, board size and number of employees will be examined aiming to understand how these boards are composed in terms of gender diversity and the im
Den vanligaste typen av kantzon som finns i jordbruket idag är kantzoner täckta av gräs. Dessa monokulturer utgör en del av ett större problem i jordbrukslandskapet. Ändrad markanvändning och användningen av bekämpningsmedel och konstgödsel leder idag till en minskad biodiversitet och att dyrbara ekosystemtjänster går förlorade. Etableringen av kantzoner berikade med blommande örter visade sig genWithin the agricultural landscape, food production has been rendered more efficient through mechanization and the use of pesticides and fertilisers. These developments has had a negative impact on the biodiversity and the ecosystem services that a high biodiversity contributes to. The establishment of field margins can improve the biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination and biologi
The present study aimed to clarify the influence of experimentally induced feelings of security through security priming on avoidant attentional processing. Although security priming has been linked with various positive cognitive and emotional outcomes, its influence at an early attentional stage is unclear. Here, we focused on attachment avoidance since it has been linked to maladaptive attentio
This thesis addresses a project conducted in collaboration with Volvo Car Corporation, to develop a new concept for luggage covers in car luggage compartments. The purpose was to find a new concept, with focus on user friendliness and environmental sustainability, which automatically opens up for easy loading of the luggage compartment. The fabric in today's solution is made of polyester and P
Minimizing changeover times are considered critical by manufacturing industries to decrease non value adding processes, while at the same time being able to respond to changing customer requirements quickly. It is a hard task to manage but in this case a critical part was identified within a package manufacturing machine. The goal was then to find out if this specific part could be redesigned to s
This report depicts the design development of a modular tool used in the creasing process of packaging material. The aim of the new design is to decrease the setup time while at the same time increase the degree of customization to create new packaging designs for small series production which is difficult with the current tool. Multiple design concepts for the new tool were generated from explori
With the rapid development of the autonomous drive (AD) technology, driverless vehicles may soon be reality. As one of the most renowned car manufacturers in the world, Volvo Car Group are investing in and developing the technology. As a part of this development, this thesis was initiated at the Trunk Trim Department. The purpose of this thesis has been to research the area of luggage compartments
This report is a master thesis conducted at Division of Product Development, Department of Design Sciences, Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. Two new polymer materials, Capa™ and Akestra™, were proven to be suitable candidates for two 3D printing technologies. The two technologies were selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM). Sintratec Kit and UP 3D, two comm
The future prospects of the aerospace industry are bright, with the 2009 aerospace forecast stating that the world commercial aircraft fleet will more than double over the next 20 years. Although, the future use of aircraft materials, and accompanied assembly processes, are rather uncertain. The future of assembly processes has to be assessed in order for suppliers of assembly power tools to devel
