Scandinavian International Conference on Fluid Power

The Division of Fluid and Mechatronic Systems, Flumes, at Linköping University and the Swedish Fluid power Association, IFS, is hosting the Scandinavian International Conference on Fluid Power 2021, SICFP’21, May 31 - June 2. 

Education and teachingShow/Hide content

Fluid power systems and aircraft design

We offer courses in fluid power systems and aircraft design at both basic and advanced levels. We are the only university in Sweden that gives advanced courses in fluid power systems.
 

We give courses in fluid power systems and aircraft design at both basic and advanced levels to around 300 engineering students each year.

Our undergraduate courses are taken mainly by students in mechanical engineering. We provide the most comprehensive education in fluid power systems, with the possibility of specialisation at the advanced level.

It is also possible to carry out a thesis project within the subjects mechatronics, fluid power systems and aircraft design, either in a company or within our laboratory.

We are the only university in Sweden that gives advanced courses in fluid power systems.

Aeronautical Engineering, Master's Programme, 120 credits

This programme offers a holistic view on aircraft design. Thanks to close collaboration between the University and the aerospace industry, you will be prepared for working with aircraft design, aircraft engineering, or wind turbine engineering.

ResearchShow/Hide content

We have the largest university laboratory for fluid power systems in Sweden. Key words for our research are efficiency and system dynamics.

The characteristics of our research projects are a close connection between the fluid and mechatronic systems, propulsion systems, power transmission, actuator system, sensors and control systems. Our research philosophy is a strong combination of theory and experimental research.

We carry out research in close cooperation with industry and other research groups. Every fourth year we organise the Scandinavian Conference in Fluid Power (SICFP), one of the largest fluid power conferences in Europe.

We conduct research within three main fields

Hydraulik

Fluid Power

LiU has the largest university laboratory for fluid power systems in Sweden. We aim to develop smarter and more energy efficient hydraulic systems, components and methods to reduce energy losses.

Forskare och flygmodell

Aircraft design and systems

We carry out research in close cooperation with the aviation industry, where our research focusses on design, concept development, aircraft systems, aerodynamics and sub-scale test flights.
Systemsimulering och optimering

System Modeling, Simulation and Optimization

LiU, and the Division of Fluid and Mechatronic Systems in particular, is host for HOPSAN – a simulation tool that can predict fluid power, electric power, flight and vehicle dynamics.

Air show when future engineers tested their designs

Have you ever dreamt of building your own aircraft? That’s exactly what aeronautical engineering students have been doing for the past seven weeks. Well – in any case – they’ve been building a remote-controlled prototype of an aircraft.

Ambassadors appreciate agricultural technology

Nineteen EU ambassadors visiting Östergötland not only saw the world première of a sowing machine, developed within Agtech 2030, they also heard Per Frankelius describe his vision of how smart technical solutions will contribute to a greener Europe.

A digital workshop brings a global perspective to the crisis

It started as a meeting in the coffee room (which was starting to feel rather empty), and ended with a workshop with participants from three continents. The coronacrisis is forcing the development of new research and new ways of collaborating.
