Rubber bushing is an important connection component in vehicle suspensions. It plays an important role in vehicle performance. In the past years, the theories of rubber have been studied, and several ....
CAD integrated tools are accelerating product development by incorporating various aspects of physics through coupling with computational aided engineering (CAE) packages. One of the most challenging ....
The internal combustion (IC) engine has been developed for a century. The fundamental principles and basic structure have not evolved much. However, the demand on engine performance, fuel economy and ....
A method including Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) and fatigue assessment process with modal approach was developed to predict Light Commercial Van (LCV) Rear French Doors open/close durability performance ....
Fatigue analysis in the time domain using the rainflow cycle counting algorithm is considered the most accurate method for estimating damage. Dirlik's method has been found to be very accurate for dam....
An analytical load distribution solution for calculation of the loads exerted by the rolling elements on the outer raceway in cylindrical roller bearings under radial loading is proposed in this paper....
Crankshaft is a dynamic component that copes with elevated alternating stresses. In order to ensure the service reliability, fillet rolling process is being applied. The state of the art empirical ass....
A body mount joint is a typical clamped joint that is under severe loading conditions, due to its structural function services as a gateway of load path between body and frame of an automotive vehicle....
Stainless steel grades are now widely used for automotive exhaust systems, driven by the need to increase their durability and to reduce their weight. Exhaust Manifolds are subjected to more severe co....
Effective use of adhesive bonding in automotive vehicle bodies requires analytical methods for durability, so that potential fatigue problems and unnecessary overdesign may be eliminated before the ph....
The need of weight reduction for fuel reduction and CO₂ regulations enforces the use of light-weight materials for structural parts also. The importance of reinforced composites will grow in this area....
