Proceedings of the FISITA 2012 World Automotive Congress are selected from nearly 2,000 papers submitted to the 34th FISITA World Automotive Congress, which is held by Society of Automotive Engineers of China (SAE-China ) and the International Federation of Automotive Engineering Societies (FISITA). This proceedings focus on solutions for sustainable mobility in all areas of passenger car, truck and bus transportation. Volume 11: Advanced Vehicle Manufacturing Technology focuses on: *Applications of Aluminum, Magnesium and Zink Alloys , Composites *Advanced Body Manufacturing Technology *Body Corrosion Protection Technology *Welding, Joining and Fastening *Casting Technology *Stamping Technology *Paints, Polymers and Coatings *Exterior Body Panels *Advanced Process Management Above all researchers, professional engineers and graduates in fields of automotive engineering, mechanical engineering and electronic engineering will benefit from this book. SAE-China is a national academic organization composed of enterprises and professionals who focus on research, design and education in the fields of automotive and related industries. FISITA is the umbrella organization for the national automotive societies in 37 countries around the world. It was founded in Paris in 1948 with the purpose of bringing engineers from around the world together in a spirit of cooperation to share ideas and advance the technological development of the automobile.

English | 2010 | pages: 295 | ISBN: 1849960704 | PDF | 6,5 mb
Automotive control has developed over the decades from an auxiliary te- nology to a key element without which the actual performances, emission, safety and consumption targets could not be met. Accordingly, automotive control has been increasing its authority and responsibility – at the price of complexity and di?cult tuning. The progressive evolution has been mainly ledby speci?capplicationsandshorttermtargets,withthe consequencethat automotive control is to a very large extent more heuristic than systematic. Product requirements are still increasing and new challenges are coming from potentially huge markets like India and China, and against this ba- ground there is wide consensus both in the industry and academia that the current state is not satisfactory. Model-based control could be an approach to improve performance while reducing development and tuning times and possibly costs. Model predictive control is a kind of model-based control design approach which has experienced a growing success since the middle of the 1980s for "slow" complex plants, in particular of the chemical and process industry. In the last decades, severaldevelopments haveallowedusing these methods also for "fast"systemsandthis hassupporteda growinginterestinitsusealsofor automotive applications, with several promising results reported. Still there is no consensus on whether model predictive control with its high requi- ments on model quality and on computational power is a sensible choice for automotive control.

Free Download Modelling Driver Behaviour in Automotive Environments: Critical Issues in Driver Interactions with Intelligent Transport Systems By Maria Panou, Evangelos Bekiaris, Vassilis Papakostopoulos (auth.), P. Carlo Cacciabue Ph.D. (eds.)
2007 | 428 Pages | ISBN: 1846286174 | PDF | 7 MB
The study of all technological systems, in terms of design, safety assessment or training purposes requires that significant attention is dedicated to the human perspective. Techniques for user-centred design are normally applied and exploited before implementing new control devices or safety systems that are managed by a human user or operator. This demands that appropriate models of Human Machine Interaction and associated taxonomies for classifying human behaviour are available for theoretical and practical application. In the automotive environment, the paradigm of the joint human-machine system is called the "Driver-Vehicle-Environment" (DVE) model. Several studies have pointed out the unique nature of this domain, which can refer the standardisation and normalisation of behaviours, contexts and technology.This book presents a general overview of the various factors that contribute to modelling human behaviour in this specialised environment. All of these aspects contribute to creating the overall picture of the DVE model, and demonstrate the scope and dimensions of the many different interaction processes that demand modelling consideration. This long-awaited volume, written by world experts in the field, presents state-of-the-art research and case studies. It will be invaluable reading for professional practitioners graduate students, researchers and alike.Pietro Carlo Cacciabue is a senior scientist at the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen, within the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, Ispra, Italy. He is the author of two monographs and several book and journal publications relating to safety engineering and human-machine interaction in the domains of energy production and transportation. He is the principal Editor, together with Erik Hollnagel, of The International Journal of Cognition, Technology & Work.

Free Download Abdel Salam Hamdy Makhlouf, "High Performance Coatings for Automotive and Aerospace Industries "
English | ISBN: 1608765792 | 2010 | 413 pages | PDF | 23 MB
The book "High Performance Coating for Automotive and Aerospace Industries" is both a reference and a tutorial for understanding the most advanced coatings used in transportation industries. It discusses the basics of the materials used in such industries, including the durability to resist corrosion in severe environments. Also, it covers most of the coating processes, testing performance and surface characterisation techniques. It addresses important questions frequently posed by end-user design engineers, coaters, and coatings suppliers in their quest for superior coating qualities for such industries. This book focuses on the industrial manufacturing and application aspects of various coating, thin film and surface engineering technologies for automotive and aerospace applications to fulfil the demands in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, contributions in this book emphasise corrosion, tribological and wear aspects of hard, superhard, nanocomposite and lubricious coatings with respect to their mechanical and physical properties.
