Thesis work- Wheel Loader Unit Design Optimization

Job description

Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future? If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match. 

Background

The loading unit on the wheel loader is a big part of the characteristics and performance of the machine. The geometry of the unit is designed to reach desired properties depending on machine applications. The main function is to lift and transport material, the lifting capacity is highly dependent on the weight of the loading unit. By minimizing the weight of the unit, the performance and lifting capacities will increase.

What will you be doing?

The scope is to develop an optimized casted part in the loading unit with the objectives of decreasing the weight and still reach the desired strength demands. A method how design engineers can use topology optimization to find optimal solutions at an earlier stage in design process is to be investigated.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who have studied Mechanical Engineering.

 

Thesis level: The thesis is suitable for 1-2 students on master or bachelor level and can start from January 2025.

Language: English for documentation

Last application date: 30th of November, 2024.
