Automotive Steels: Design, Metallurgy, Processing and Applications explores the design, processing, metallurgy, and applications of automotive steels. While some sheet steels are produced routinely in high volume today, there have been significant advances in the use of steel in the automotive industry.

This book presents these metallurgical and application aspects in a way that is not available in the current literature. The editors have assembled an international team of experts who discuss recent developments and future prospects for automotive steels, compiling essential...

With a focus onecology, economy and engine performance, diesel engines are explored in relation to current research and developments. The prevalent trends in this development are outlined with particular focus on the most frequently used alternative fuels in diesel engines; the properties of various type of biodiesel and the concurrent improvement of diesel engine characteristics using numeric optimization alongside current investigation and research work in the field.

Following of a short overview of engine control, aftertreatment and alternative fuels, Green Diesel Engine...

Andreas Freuer leitet eine Methode her, die Fahrzeuglangsfuhrung uber einen weiten Anwendungsbereich und uber eine Vielzahl von Fahrsituationen in einer energetisch optimierten Form zu automatisieren. Hierzu entwickelt er ein ganzheitliches Optimierungs- und Regelungskonzept, in dem Informationen aus Umfeldsensoren und digitalen Straenkarten verarbeitet und die spezifischen Eigenschaften eines batterieelektrisch betriebenen Fahrzeugs berucksichtigt werden. Der Autor bestimmt das Verbrauchspotential der Fahrzeuglangsfuhrung in einer Probandenstudie unter realistischen Bedingungen im...

Urea-SCR Technology for deNOx After Treatment of Diesel Exhausts presents a complete overview of the

selective catalytic reduction of NOx by ammonia/urea. The book starts with

an illustration of the technology in the framework of the current context (legislation,

market, system configurations), covers the fundamental aspects of the SCR process

(catalysts, chemistry, mechanism, kinetics) and analyzes its application to useful topics

such as modeling of full scale monolith catalysts, control aspects, ammonia injections

systems and integration...

The road vehicle of the future will embrace innovations from three major automotive technology fields: driver assistance systems, vehicle networking and alternative propulsion. Smart systems such as adaptive ICT components and MEMS devices, novel network architectures, integrated sensor systems, intelligent interfaces and functional materials form the basis of these features and permit their successful and synergetic integration. They increasingly appear to be the key enabling technologies for safe and green road mobility. For more than fifteen years the International Forum on Advanced...

This monograph focuses on control methods that influence vehicle dynamics to assist the driver in enhancing passenger comfort, road holding, efficiency and safety of transport, etc., while maintaining the driver's ability to override that assistance. On individual-vehicle-component level the control problem is formulated and solved by a unified modelling and design method provided by the linear parameter varying (LPV) framework. The global behaviour desired is achieved by a judicious interplay between the individual components, guaranteed by an integrated control mechanism. The integrated...
