The detailed distribution of the temperature rise in the whole solid domain of the machine is determined using a 3D numerical heat-transfer method. The temperature rises in the machine are also estimated with the traditional thermal-network method, which uses a totally different approach to the heat-transfer analysis.

The methods used for the mechanical analysis of the machine include finite-element rotordynamics modelling of the rotor for estimation of the critical speeds and the shapes of the bending modes and also analytical estimation of the stress in the retaining sleeve. The implemented methods are used for the comparative thermal and mechanical analyses of three different high-speed PM rotor constructions and also for the determination of the maximum power limits for high-speed PM electrical machines for air-compressor applications.

The speakers of the plenary and theme sessions are leading experts in their own fields. In the sessions, they address societal issues linked to science and technology. Among the topics are, e.g.

• why are prevailing systems of energy production and use so difficult to chance,
• what is science 2.0, 
• how is scientific knowledge used in policy processes,
• and what are the central promises and problems of innovation policy.

Keynote Speakers

• Professor Geoffrey C. Bowker (University of Pittsburgh)
• Professor Robin Williams (The Institute for the Study of Science and Technology and Innovation, University of Edinburgh)
• Research Director Pekka Ylä-Anttila (ETLA)
• Professor Marja Häyrinen-Alestalo (University of Helsinki)
• Academy of Finland Research Fellow Mika Pantzar, Ph.D (Aalto University)
• Head of User Experience Research, DA (industrial design) Esko Kurvinen (Elisa Oyj)
• Docent Sampsa Hyysalo , Ph.D. (education), Docent (information systems) (University of Helsinki)

Because there is so many of us, and we can’t fit into one building, the opening ceremony can be followed in more relaxed “ceremony lounges” at all the Aalto campuses across the country.

The after party is open for all Aaltoers. Bus transportation is arranged from Töölö and Arabia campuses after the opening ceremony, around 3.30 pm.

At the after party there are a big amount of different activities and performances to present the Aaltoers multiple and surprising skills – expect a street party with saunas, barbeques, movies and a lot more.

Please add this event in your calendar already today; more detailed information on the program is published in the beginning of August. Aaltoers’ registration for the ceremony in Töölö opens second week in August.

You are all warmly welcome!

The programme contains a lot of time to talk, change thoughts and develop new ideas further together. Theme sessions and workshops are based on participants' paper themes. In addition, the keynote speakers will tell current ideas about technical teaching as base for discussion.

The main theme for the symposium is study paths

Study Paths is also the main theme of the project: How can we maintain our competences and support focused studies and growing to become an expert in the field of technology? Workable tutoring methods, design and management of engineering syllabuses, flexible types of studies, and support for diverse learners enable smooth study paths. By disseminating best practices and proved information, we can resolve the challenges related to these issues together.

Deadline for submissions is May 24 th 2010

The ReflekTori symposium programme is mainly Finnish. There will be a track in English on the first day of the symposium.
