Reports in Applied Mechanics 2022

Abstract

This is the first volume of the concurring series of Reports in Applied Mechanics, which is based on the outcome of the advanced project course TMPM07 in Applied Mechanics at Link¨oping University during the autumn of 2022. The course lay-up is based on several industrial related projects within the field of Solid Mechanics, concerning fatigue, topology optimisation, structural dimensioning, contacts etc, and Fluid Mechanics, concerning fluid dynamics, flow, aerodynamics, heat transfer etc. The students tackle industry relevant projects in close collaboration with industry from near and neighbouring regions and work in project groups to solve the given tasks within the time limit of the course. Close collaboration with the industry is necessary to define planning, update and feedback for further evaluation at the industry. Three projects were performed during the course of 2022, two within Solid Mechanics and one in Fluid Mechanics. The projects were all performed in tight collaboration with industry partners, and had a close application to real industrial problems. A good opportunity for the students to show-off all their gained knowledge and apply in the best possible way to make innovative solutions in the respective projects. Something they all managed to do with success!
