Advanced Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks

2024-05-14
This course applies advanced theory, physical tests and CAE to the assessment of ride, braking, steering and handling performance, governing state-space equations with transfer functions for primary ride and develop and analyze open loop handling. Building on the analysis of the state space equations, common physical tests and their corresponding CAE solutions for steady state and transient vehicle events.  The "state-of-the-art"  vehicle dynamics CAE, and common lab and vehicle tests with metrics used to assess chassis system and vehicle performance will be discussed.

Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFM/DFA)

2024-05-13
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM+A), pioneered by Boothroyd and Dewhurst, has been used by many companies around the world to develop creative product designs that use optimal manufacturing and assembly processes. Correctly applied, DFM+A analysis leads to significant reductions in production cost, without compromising product time-to-market goals, functionality, quality, serviceability, or other attributes. In this two-day course, you will not only learn the Boothroyd Dewhurst Method, you will actually apply it to your own product design!

ARP4754B Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems

2024-05-13
This course introduces the revised SAE standard ARP4754B and its guidelines of practice for aircraft and systems development. These guidelines drive compliance with regulations and assist companies to develop and meet their own internal standards though the application of those guidelines. The instructors for this course are writers of the SAE standard, with practical expertise in this domain. Learners will gain critical concepts of aircraft and systems development that ensure both project risk reduction and certification.

Design Analysis of High Power Density Additively Manufactured Induction Motor

2016-09-20
2016-01-2061
Induction machines (IM) are considered work horse for industrial applications due to their rugged, reliable and inexpensive nature; however, their low power density restricts their use in volume and weight limited environments such as an aerospace, traction and propulsion applications. Given recent advancements in additive manufacturing technologies, this paper presents opportunity to improve power density of induction machines by taking advantage of higher slot fill factor (SFF) (defined as ratio of bare copper area to slot area) is explored. Increase in SFF is achieved by deposition of copper in much more compact way than conventional manufacturing methods of winding in electrical machines. Thus a design tradeoff study for an induction motor with improved SFF is essential to identify and highlight the potentials of IM for high power density applications and is elaborated in this paper.
