The crankshaft dynamic behavior of internal combustion engines are deeply influenced by its geometry and modal parameters. The modal density of a 6 cylinder crankshaft is high and, therefore, it is ne....
The understanding of how mechanical stresses influence in the behavior of automotive components is of great interest to the automotive industry. The design of products must be made considering these e....
The use of static vehicle simulators, as a mean of testing and validating the software, is labor intensive, time consuming and error prone. So, the fast pace of the automotive industry pose as a high ....
The durability certification is one of the critical paths of a mass production vehicle project. For structural components, the development and the execution of experimental tests supported by finite e....
Contact rubber seals have been extensively employed in bearing systems in order to avoid internal dusty contamination and grease leakage. As an inherent consequence, heat and friction losses arises fr....
The goal of the present work is to simulate through a commercial CFD code the flow within the headlamp, including the condensation process in the lens of the headlamp. Considering the results, it has ....
The water and dust contamination has being studied as an important factor for the components life. For the evaluation of water and dust, it is important that a good method of analysis has been defined....
The basic function of the clutch, transmitting torque when running, interrupting the flow of power between the engine and gearbox in the changing gears and stopping and protecting the engine and trans....
The paper addresses the development of an electromagnetic brake control and data capture of torque and rotation, using a graphical interface implemented in LabVIEW for evaluating the performance of in....
The paper addresses the development of an electromagnetic brake control and data acquisition system to capture speed and torque. LabVIEW™ was used to implement a graphical interface to evaluate the pe....
