This publication has been developed to help automotive engineers be better project managers as automotive projects involve suppliers dispersed across the globe, and can often span multiple years. Project scope change is common, and so too are the budget constraints and tight deadlines. This is an excellent guide on how to manage continuous change.

Nano-sized fillers have exceptionally higher reinforcing efficiency than conventional, large fillers. This book consists of a collection of technical papers selected from the automotive composites and other relevant sessions that the editors have organized for the SAE World Congress over the past decade.

Comprehensively covering the development of the internal combustion engine (ICE), the information presented in this volume captures expert knowledge and serves as an essential resource that illustrates the latest level of knowledge about engine development.

Discusses automotive telematics from a technical perspective, with reference to the business model and to the value for the user. The three main entities of the end-to-end system framework of telematics are discussed; in-vehicle system, infrastructure, and service centre with its voice and data portal.

This book is segmented into three sections and includes eleven hand-picked technical papers covering processing and characterization of biocomposites; automotive applications of biocomposites; and offering a perspective on automotive sustainability. It is a must read for those interested in the growing importance of composites used in automotive applications.

Provides information for engineers who are designing the next generation of lighter vehicles. The material in the book is presented to help them make informed decisions on what basic materials to use and how to optimize those materials to achieve cost-effective weight reduction. The emphasis is on steels in general and advanced high-strength steels in particular.

The application of accelerated testing theory is a difficult proposition, yet one that can result in considerable time and cost savings, as well as increasing a product's useful life. In Accelerated Testing: A Practitioner's Guide to Accelerated and Reliability Testing, readers are exposed to the latest, most practical knowledge available in this dynamic and important discipline.

Introduces a variety of case studies, lessons learned, and insights on what it really means to develop, implement, or manage an integrated system of systems. This title offers the reader a wide set of hands-on stories, made possible by the contribution of twenty-three authors, who agreed to share their experience on how new technologies are developed and put to work.

Covers the current status of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology and its potential applications to the future road and rail transportation systems. This volume focuses on the applications of WPT technology to electric vehicle charging and the future green transportation field.

This book chronicles over 75 years of engine design, development, and production at Chrysler Corporation, with descriptions, pictures, specifications and timelines provided for every production engine built.

This set includes two books, edited by Delphi's Chief Technology Officer Dr. Andrew Brown, Jr., which explore some of the most significant challenges currently facing the automotive industry - building greener and more connected vehicles.

Explores a variety of safety issues in the areas of market and consumer preferences; driver assistance and modelling; active safety system, crash sensing and sensor fusion; communications; and road safety. It also includes a number of articles authored by renowned experts in the field of active safety.

Updated from a popular earlier volume, this new compendium includes landmark papers from 1994 through 2013 that focus exclusively on lumbar injuries. It also features an introductory chapter, "Blunt Lumbar Trauma" that provides an overview of the anatomy of the lumbar region, injury, and injury mechanisms, as well as an extensive literature update.

Contains guidelines for determining the properties of polymer matrix composite material systems and their constituents, as well as the properties of generic structural elements, including test planning, test matrices, sampling, conditioning, test procedure selection, data reporting, data reduction, statistical analysis, and other related topics.

Edited by Dr. Ian Jennions, Director of the IVHM Center at Cranfield University in the U.K., the book tackles the most important questions on the transformation of business from selling a product, and deriving future income from spare part sales, to selling a service in which income is received in return for effective maintenance of the asset.

This set includes two books, edited by Delphi's Chief Technology Officer Dr. Andrew Brown, Jr., which explore some of the most significant challenges currently facing the automotive industry - building greener and more connected vehicles.

This book is part of a 3-volume set which presents a comprehensive look at recent head injury research and applies protective strategies to various injury scenarios, such as passenger vehicles, sports, and blast injuries, or to a particular demographic group, such as children or seniors. This volume features 14 technical papers.

With production and planning for new electric vehicles gaining momentum worldwide, this book - the first in a series of five volumes on this subject - provides engineers and researchers with perspectives on the most current and innovative developments regarding electric and hybrid-electric vehicle technology, design considerations, and components.

Designed to help safety professionals in various disciplines learn how to read medical records, this book reveals the types of information these records contain and the insight they can provide on critical issues such as restraint usage and deployment, injury mechanisms, severity and outcome, and the effects of prior medical conditions.

Author Francis Bradford, a former Hall-Scott engineer, provides valuable resources and insight not available to any other Hall-Scott researcher. Well-illustrated with numerous photos, drawings, and memos, this fascinating book will be of interest to history buffs in the areas of aviation, rail, marine, trucks, buses, fire equipment, and industrial engines, and to World War and military historians.

Role of the Seat in Rear Crash Safety addresses the historic debate over seatback stiffness, energy absorbing yielding, occupant retention and whiplash prevention; and it provides a scientific foundation for the direction GM pursued in the development and validation of future seat designs. It also describes the multi-year research study into the role of the seat in rear crash safety - first by addressing the need for occupant retention in the more severe rear crashes; and then by addressing the needs for an adequately positioned head restraint and changes in the compliance of the seatback to lower the risks of the whiplash in low-speed crashes.

Presents seven case studies in which digital human models were used to solve different types of physical problems associated with proposed human-machine interaction tasks. Contributions from researchers at Ford, Boeing, the US Air Force, and others show how digital human modeling (DHM) was used to i
