Simulation can significantly improve the competitive position of manufacturing and engineering companies by reducing their costs and resulting in more efficient development, production, procurement, logistics or financial processes. However, the take-up of simulation software by SMEs has until now been low due to high barriers of entry that include hardware prices, licensing costs and technical ex ...

"Locomotive engines are significant contributors to air pollution in many cities and ports. Although locomotive engines being produced today must meet relatively modest emission requirements set in 1997, they continue to emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter (PM).The 2008 Clean Air Non-road Diesel Rule stipulates new requirements for non-road diesel fuel that will decrease t ...

Openly Accessible Services and Interacting Society (OASIS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

In many regions of Europe, citizens and businesses are faced with the difficulty or impossibility of finding information and services provided by local public authorities on the internet. Any such information currently available is often segmented and isolated in a non-user friendly manner. The current project will facilitate access to information, public services and economic promotion by groupin ...

Long Range Ultrasonic Inspection of Aircraft Wiring (SAFEWIRE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Defects in the electric wiring in aircraft have led to serious accidents. Cases in point were the losses of TWA Flight 800 in July 1996 and Swissair Flight 111 September 1998, in both of which ~ 230 people died. Experts investigating almost three decades of international aviation incidents between 1972 and 2000 found more than 400 wire related incidents. The Ageing Transport Systems Rulemaking Adv ...

High Power Transmission Line Cable Inspection (CHAPLIN)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

There are many thousands of miles of high power line transmission cables dispersed around Europe. Some are installed in remote areas where it’s difficult to serve. Furthermore, line cables operate in severe conditions. The cables are subject to many environmental and operation factors such as moisture, voltage stress, omitting jacking and structural imperfections.These factors are the main reasons ...

"The wind turbine industry is the fastest growing market area for the use of composite materials. Current state-of-the-art turbines are increasing in size, providing multi-megawatt power output. To generate such power turbine rotorblade diameters exceeding 100m along with nacelle heights of 120m are becoming standard. As turbines grow and their deployment becomes more widespread and remote, it is ...

Micro ECM for SMEs (µECM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"Current ECM process technology is limited in machining accuracy and process stability. The primary reason for this limitation is that the power supply units, which are at the heart of ECM are traditionally designed for the millisecond pulsed current range. Developing a power supply unit that has the capability of pulsing in the microsecond / nanosecond range, will result in more control of the pr ...

ACTIBIO will research and develop a completely new concept in biometric authentication: the extraction of multimodal biometric signatures based on the response of the user to specific stimuli, while performing specific but natural work-related activities. The novelty of the approach lies in the fact that the biometric measurements will correspond to the response of the person to specific events be ...
