Exchange in advanced mechanical testing

Project time: 2015 – 2016

Budget: 130 000 kr

Purpose and goal

The objective of the mobility project w as to share experiences betw een an industrial PhD student at Saab Dynamics a researcher at Mid Sw eden University and staff at SP w ould and to conduct tests related to OPTIPAM. Participation and implementation of testing allow s combined insight of AM articles characteristics regarding design, process and materials.
In practical collaborations betw een the partners, important contacts have been made which increases the possibility of exchanges w ithin the present and future projects.

Results and expected effects

Through hands-on testing SBD´s industrial PhD student and researcher from MIUN have gained practical insight into advanced mechanical testing. For the industrial PhD student practical testing allow s to better describe and understand the tests performed. This understanding has been reached and has great value when w riting papers and PhD thesis and at the defense of the PhD thesis. Physical meetings and practical collaboration has made it possible to deepen the relations and increases the possibility of exchanges w ithin the project and future projects.

Approach and implementation

The exchange w as carried out for tw o full days when an industrial PhD student from Saab Dynamics and researcher from Mid Sw eden University participated in practical testing w ith researchers and testing engineers at the SP Technical Research Institute. In addition to practical testing, obtained test results and applied testing methodology w ere discussed. Of course, only a limited exchange of experience is possible to achieve since each party sits on considerable expertise and know ledge in their respective fields but the project allow s initial dialogue for further future exchanges.
