This book presents the state-of-the-art in quality and reliability engineering from a product life-cycle standpoint. Topics in reliability include reliability models, life data analysis and modeling, design for reliability as well as accelerated life testing and reliability growth analysis, while topics in quality include design for quality, acceptance sampling and supplier selection, statistical process control, production tests such as environmental stress screening and burn-in, warranty and maintenance. The book provides comprehensive insights into two closely related subjects, and...

The book covers all types of advanced high strength steels ranging from dual-phase, TRIP. Complex phase, martensitic, TWIP steels to third generation steels, including promising candidates as carbide free bainitic steels, med Mn and Quenching & Partitioning processed steels. The author presents fundamentals of physical metallurgy of key features of structure and relationship of structure constituents with mechanical properties as well as basics of processing AHSS starting from most important features of intercritical heat treatment, with focus on critical phase transformations and...

This volume contains papers presented at the International conference The Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles III: Trucks, Buses and Trains held in Potsdam, Germany, September 12-17, 2010 by Engineering Conferences International (ECI). Leading scientists and engineers from industry, universities and research laboratories, including truck and high-speed train manufacturers and operators were brought together to discuss computer simulation and experimental techniques to be applied for the design of more efficient trucks, buses and high-speed trains in the future.

The introduction of mechatronic components for the powertrain, steering and braking systems opens the way to automatic driving functions. Together with internal and environmental sensors, various driver assistance systems are going to be developed for improving driving comfort and safety.
Automatic driving control functions suppose a well-designed vehicle behavior. In order to develop and implement the software-based control functions mathematical vehicle models for the stationary and dynamic behavior are required.
The book first introduces basic theoretically derived models for...

The Internet of Things, cloud computing, connected vehicles, Big Data, analytics -- what does this have to do with the automotive industry? This book provides information about the future of mobility trends resulting from digitisation, connectedness, personalisation and data insights. The automotive industry is on the verge of undergoing a fundamental transformation. Large, traditional companies in particular will have to adapt, develop new business models and implement flexibility with the aid of appropriate enterprise architectures. Transforming critical business competencies is the key...

Im aktuellen Standardwerk Fahrzeugreifen - Fahrzeugrader werden Reifen und Rader mit den geometrischen Grundlagen erlautert und neue, zukunftsorientierte Konzepte der Reifentechnologie prasentiert. Die Entwicklung der Produkteigenschaften und deren Unterschiede werden ausfuhrlich beschrieben. Schwerpunkte dieses Buches sind die Mobilitats- und die Reifenstrategie, die die richtige Auslegung und Dimensionierung der Reifen beinhalten sowie die Methoden und Tools, die in einem effizienten Reifenentwicklungsprozess eine grosse Bedeutung haben. Mobilitatsstrategien spielen bei der...

Based on the simulations developed in research groups over the past years, Introduction to Quasi-dimensional Simulation of Spark Ignition Engines provides a compilation of the main ingredients necessary to build up a quasi-dimensional computer simulation scheme. Quasi-dimensional computer simulation of spark ignition engines is a powerful but affordable tool which obtains realistic estimations of a wide variety of variables for a simulated engine keeping insight the basic physical and chemical processes involved in the real evolution of an automotive engine. With low...
