TOPIC 14: IMPLEMENTING DIGITAL THREAD AND MODEL-BASED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (MBSE) AT MAN

At MAN ES, we are looking for a highly motivated Master’s student in System Engineering, passionate about sustainability, to collaborate with us in shaping our future strategies.
Our company designs and supports the production of 2-Stroke marine engines. The Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach are a vital part of digital threads in order to bring together all the pieces of the product lifecycle puzzle to ensure success.
(MBSE) -easy defined here :
Engineering solutions composed as a set of models linked through an information infrastructure forming a Digital Thread that provides authoritative source of truth.
In this thesis project, you will find the optimal way to implement the MBSE at MAN, an approach that can help enhance communication and collaboration, reduce development and design risks. The full value of MBSE can only be realized if models can be synchronized with other key sources of design and product data—mainly, critical PLM and ALM platforms. New solutions are now available in the marketplace to connect these various systems, helping to ensure that design engineers and other critical stakeholders can better manage business disruptions, shortened design phases, and more complex product requirements.
MBSE provides a touchstone for design teams. It offers an unambiguous single source of truth that holds all the data and design information required to keep engineers on the same page regarding even the most sophisticated of designs.
The project is expected to last 20 weeks, with status orientation every 2 weeks to project owners. If you think this is something for you, or you want to hear more about the project, make sure to contact the Engine Lifecycle Management team.

TOPIC 15: WASTE-MANAGEMENT DURING ENGINE OPERATION

At MAN ES, we are looking for a highly motivated Master’s student in Mechanical/Environmental/Energy Engineering, passionate about sustainability, to collaborate with us in shaping our future strategies.
Our company designs and supports the production of 2-Stroke marine engines. We believe it is essential to ensure that all processes are carried out in the most sustainable manner, and align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this thesis project, you will first assess the environmental footprint of all spare parts needed during an engine lifetime: valves, rings pipes… These are components that must be replaced periodically, as they worn out or get damaged.
In many occasions, the replaced components are not properly disposed. Therefore, based on the initial Lifecycle Assessment (LCA), the student will also propose innovative disposal/reconditioning strategies.
The project is expected to last 20 weeks, with status orientation every 2 weeks to project owners. If you think this is something for you, or you want to hear more about the project, make sure to contact the Engine Lifecycle Management team.

• Hands on experience with mounting of test specimens.
• Make a temperature calibration setting for the oven. This means using a test sample with temperature sensor to correlate oven set point with actual specimen temperature. This should cover a wide range of temperatures.
• Make a number of tests at various temperatures (starting with RT) and then find correlating parameters for Abaqus to minimize difference between simulation and tests.
• Make a number of fatigue tests at various temperatures.
• Make LCF rules for use in design.
• Expand to other materials / temperatures etc. Examples of important materials are: DSA760, Tarkalloy A, CV1, CV5, Nimoni
