SINTEF projects

The main objective for the MonitorX project is to develop a model, and an additional software prototype, for optimal utilization of the lifetime of a component in a hydropower plant.

The project Predict-RPT has sought to improve our understanding of the phenomenon of rapid phase transition (RPT). This is becoming an important safety issue as the transport and utilization of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is increasing in a Norwegian...

The project will develop technology for zero defect manufacturing within the fields of automation and autonomy. The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council's BIA-program.

Sports scheduling addresses the problem of assigning a date and venue to each game of a tournament, while taking the wishes and requirements of all stakeholders into account. Scheduling a sports league or a tournament is a combinatorial optimization...

Working in cold climates involves various effects on work, health and performance. The degree of cold exposure is essential for the severity and risks associated with the exposure. Cold environment disturbs not only the machinery of industrial...

CIMEC is a city-focused project which will explore the role cooperative ITS systems (C-ITS) can play to support city authorities, both in managing their transport networks and the delivery of other transport-linked services. It will reach out to key...

The overall objective of AMPERE is to establish a scientific basis that allows designing alloys and processing schedules to yield optimum combinations of mechanical properties and electrical conductivity at elevated temperatures (in-service...

Managing the transition to a smart bioeconomy.

Imagine that one could capture CO₂ using a smart magnet - The CARBOMAG project is based on a novel concept for CO₂ capture combining nanotechnology with magnetic separation in a multidisciplinary approach. The new development is expected to result in...

The project is focussed on improving responses to expected and unexpected crises affecting critical societal structures during natural disasters (e.g. flooding, earthquakes) and man-made disasters (e.g cyber-attacks).

In the DynamITe competence project, we developed new models, solution methods, and basic software for optimized transport of goods and people in an ever more dynamic world.

The goal of RICAS2020 is to provide an innovative design concept of an Underground Research Infrastructure to develop technologies by which the storage of very high amounts of “green” energy will be possible.

In manufacturing process, a burr refers to the extra material that remains attached to the workpiece. In our most recent publication, we introduced a method that relies on unlabelled data to accurately detect and estimate the size of burrs.

SFI Manufacturing's vision is to show that sustainable manufacturing in a high-cost country like Norway is possible, given the right products, technologies and people. Cross-disciplinary research will provide a knowledge based toolbox for future...

To create innovations securing sustainability and competitiveness of the maritime transport sector. By developing new knowledge, methods and technologies and educating students.

The main objectives for the ZAS project are to improve the performance and lifetime of zinc-air batteries as well as reducing their cost.

As the extent of petroleum activities and the extraction of other resources in the Arctic increases, shipping can expect to face new challenges.

Additive manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D printing, has received a lot of attention recently. The overall idea of the AddForm project is to use rather inexpensive mould inserts, made by AM, for injection moulding of plastic parts. The...
