This master thesis contains an overview of the additive manufacturing technology and building process of the large-scale Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) additive manufacturing machine from the old Wafer Handling Diffusion machine. The thesis study is mainly focused on practical work and describes the techniques used during the project execution. The built machine can print large 3D prototypes from ...

In this master thesis, a small rotary actuator with wire driveline intendent for space solutions is developed and tested. The replication of the environment with focus on surface friction, surface roughness, and more dynamical related features are considered. Features like temperature, vibration, radiation and more are excluded to limit the size. This because the field of interest in this iteration ...

Dependency of human activities on electricity supply goes from emergency services to comfort aspects. Reliability of electricity distribution systems is a complex problem to tackle, especially when the systems are located at cold climate regions, dealing with ice accretion on the elements of the electrical systems and its consequences become a priority to be included in maintenance maneuvers in order ...

"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 ...

This work investigates and implements algorithms for reliable parameter identification for salient pole synchronous machines that can be used for condition monitoring, on line assessment of the power grid, and adaptive control. All these applications are steps necessary to enable a smarter power grid, in which seamless integrated digital technology provides state estimation, fault detection, and ...

The purpose of this report is to enlighten and analyze how the differences in policies, regulations and other instrumental means affect the environmental footprint and energy consumptions of buildings in cold regions such as northern Japan and northern Norway. Simulations are conducted as a part of a case study to further enlighten and visualize by figures the differences between Japan and Norway. ...

This thesis describes building information modeling focusing on the fourth dimension using a specific software. Within this possibilities and challenges with the use of the fourth dimension during an ongoing project are presented, as well as suggestions on how this can be communicated on site. The literature study describes basic theory for both project planning, project management and building ...

The report discuss requirement established/set by Planning and Building Act (PBL), Technical Regulations (TEK) and responsibilities that client representant has for the control of FDV handover. The consequences due to loss of FDV -documents for those who manage, operate, maintain and develop a building can be a cost and quality concern after the project is completed and handed over.
