Linnéa Jern

I am an Industrial PhD Student at Volvo Group Trucks Technology (AB Volvo) and my research project is called "DURATWIN - A Digital Twin for Durability to Accelerate Development and Enable Predictive Maintenance". It is financed by FFI and is a collaboration between AB Volvo, Volvo Cars, RISE and Chalmers.

The aim of the project is to set up virtual models that can mirror the vehicle state and the durability health status throughout its lifecycle, including both structural components and electrical hardware. The vision is a digital twin model that is initiated and utilized during the product development process, and then continues as a fully operational digital twin model to assess the customer-vehicle status and predict future maintenance needs.
