This study aims to find the maximum, usable, feed limit at different arc-energies and use the findings in multi-pass welding planning for robotic welding, taking into consideration the high controllability of robot movements. A combined studies using numerical analyses and practical experiments to calculate the feed limits for different arc energies. Each weld where analysed both mathematical, ...

Oppgaven retter fokus mot hvordan vi tradisjonelt planlegger fremdriften i byggeprosjekter i dag, og hvordan digitale verktøy som 4D BIM klarer å effektivisere planleggingen. I tillegg vil også Lean filosofien befinne seg i ulike planleggingsmetoder, man ønsker å skape verdi både for selskapet, kundene og alle andre deltakere som er involvert i prosjektet. Dermed ønsker man å skape flyt i produksjonen ...

"The role of renewable sources of energy in combating climate change cannot be over-emphasized. Profound measures taken especially by the European Union (EU) in reducing global rising temperatures has seen massive development of renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. This strategic plan taken by the EU has led to the an increase in national efforts to promote further development of ...

This thesis discusses the process of implementing and testing of a creative web element design system using a combination of genetic algorithms and K-nearest neighbor classification. Classification will be used as a learning mechanism to give the system the ability to absorb quality measures in regards to visual aesthetics, and utilize this knowledge to evaluate generated designs. In addition, some ...

In the modern business world, the trend that calls for a harmonious coexistence between economic development and the natural environment is growing ever stronger. Under such global context, the sustainability of a company has become more and more emphasized. As a crucial part of the supply chain management, the outsourcing process should as well be able to deal with such concerns under the guidance ...

In today’s distribution system, the dominating type of current used is AC. In newer time, improvements have been done within the field of DC. The developments that are achieved, are in terms of converter efficiency and conversion capabilities. Along with development of DC equipment, the use and development of renewable energy sources have increased. This has brought up the topic of using DC in the ...

"Energy consumption in European countries is increasing in significant amount each year. EU countries are becoming more concerned towards environmental safeguarding along with energy production. Wind and solar power have increased their market in many power systems in the recent decades and the main limitation is that they are greatly time dependent and are not available all the time to cope with ...

"Sammendrag: Denne oppgaven omhandler bruk av betongelementer i kaikonstruksjoner. Målet med oppgaven er å sammenligne bruk av betongelementer mot plassbygging av åpne kaikonstruksjoner. Kai typen omtalt i oppgaven er åpen kai på utstøpte stålrørspeler med bæring av betongbjelker og betongdekke, samt innfesting med forankring- og friksjonsplate. Det er opp til den enkelte byggherre, prosjekterende ...

As Northern Norway is considered as a low population density area with small and dispersed settlement structures, dispersed economic foundation with simplification, and focus on primary production. Manufacturing firms in Northern Norway are predominantly Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SMEs). With the development of globalization and the industry 4.0 trends, manufacturing industry focus more on ...
