Sammanfattning
The following document is a report on a bachelor’s degree project in Mechanical Engineering, which was carried out in the spring of 2022. The work was conducted under the Department of Industrial and Materials Science at the Chalmers University of Technology. The assignment, which is to develop a mounting solution for spacers and other attachments on brackets, was assigned by Volvo Penta. The reason to develop an alternative mounting solution was to solve some quality issues which were consequences of the existing solution. To establish a concept for the mounting solution a product development method was used. This included idea generation based on a requirements list using brainstorming and TRIZ, and a market analysis looking at solutions to similar problems. Elimination matrices and prototype testing were used to successively reduce the number of solutions. The resulting concepts are presented, and conclusions are drawn
