Thesis project: Simulation of hydraulic hose rupture valves
Toyota Material Handling Europe ABSammanfattning
Toyota Material Handling Europe is offering a master thesis opportunity focused on hydraulic simulations, specifically modeling safety components on forklift trucks to reduce testing. The project involves creating simulation models for a hose rupture valve and a mast, validating these models with lab measurements. This role is based in Mjölby and is suitable for 1-2 students pursuing a Master of Science in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering, starting in January 2027.Det här erbjuder vi
Opportunity to work with a global leader in material handling.Experience in hydraulic simulations and safety component modeling.Collaborative project environment with potential for innovation.

Beskrivning
Are you interested in hydraulic simulations at Toyota Material Handling Europe?Your assignment will be to model safety components on forklift trucks in order to minimize testing.
In your Master Thesis at Toyota, you will work on:
Build a simulation model of a hose rupture valve in an appropriate simulation program.
Build a simulation model of a mast in the appropriate simulation program, where the load and mast height can be varied.
Validate the model using lab measurements.
Background:
All today's trucks have a hose rupture valve to prevent the load from falling uncontrollably in the event of a hose rupture. This is a component that must work in all trucks due to safety. Today, these are dimensioned with simple calculations and verification tests. Several iterations of the calculation and testing are performed to ensure good function. The goal with the thesis is to get a good simulation model that can help with dimensioning of new hose rupture valves and finding the worst case for verification tests. The tolerance of the valve should also be taken into account in the simulation.
SCOPE
Master thesis 30 hp, 1-2 students
Requirements:
For this master thesis, we are looking for students with following educations or equivalent:
M. Sc in Mechanical Engineering
M. Sc in Mechatronics Engineering
