To this end, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study is performed to investigate the effects of pilot and post injections on in-cylinder combustion process and emissions (NOx and soot) formation in a heavy-duty (HD) diesel engine.

To this end, three innovative measurement technologies were compared. The first method is based on the balance of carbon entering and leaving the combustion chamber.

The goal of this study was to track the evolution of tailpipe particulate emissions of a modern GTDI light duty vehicle under typical North American mileage accumulation; from a fresh state to 4000-mile, and finally to its full useful life of 150,000-miles. For this purpose, a production TWC + GPF after-treatment system was installed in place of the T3B85 TWC-only system. ...Noting that the investigation is an extension of previously reported results from the GPF performance from 0 to 4000-miles which characterized the early life evolution of tailpipe particulate emissions, specifically mass (PM) and number (PN).

Some failures in the power steering system are due to external and internal factors that can reduce its life. The external factor could be identified by ocular inspection but normally to internal failures is necessary to use a hydraulic pressure flow meter.

Lithium-ion and lithium-metal battery cells are susceptible to a phenomenon known as thermal runaway under failure conditions. Thermal runaway entails a rapid escalation in battery cell temperature accompanied by the emission of flammable lithium ions, particulates, electrons, hydrocarbon, and hydrogen gases. These gases pose a significant ignition risk, potentially leading to fires and endangering occupants and bystanders. Therefore, the timely detection of thermal runaway is paramount for ensuring safety in proximity to such battery systems. Traditionally, thermal runaway sensors comprise intricate assemblies of pressure, temperature, and gas sensors, strategically positioned at the pressure relief valve of battery modules. Calibration of all sensors is essential to reliably detect thermal runaway conditions.

Resistance decreases substantially in early life followed by a slow subsequent increase. At low temperatures, resistance stays significantly lower even at end-of-life relative to beginning-of-life, while at high temperatures the opposite is observed.

This course is offered in China only and presented in Mandarin Chinese. The course materials are bilingual (English and Chinese). This course is verified by Probitas as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for Continuing Professional Development. This courser will introduce the latest version (2019) of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Handbook with a focus on DFMEA and PFMEA building. Each column of the FMEA document will also be explained in detail with FMEA examples. The course also includes an introduction to the logic for identifying technical risks and thinking tools for risk mitigation.

Why a Management Academy? Why should you be interested in this Engineering Management Academy from SAE? The answer to these questions lies in the statistics highlighted by surveys of hiring managers. For example, are you aware that: 28% of internal leadership promotions fail On average, it takes six years before an individual receives any formal training after being promoted to a management position Individual contributors, who are technical experts, are usually natural candidates for  promotions to management positions.

By the end of the course, participants will not only have a deeper understanding of MBSE principles but also possess the ability to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.

Internal audits are a requirement of the AS9100, AS 13100 and RM 13005 and are intended to verify the compliance and effectiveness of an organization's quality management system. The methods and techniques for performing internal audits have significantly changed in the aviation, space and defense industries, and internal auditors must be knowledgeable of these requirements and the expectations as identified in the standard.

This course is verified by Probitas as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for Continuing Professional Development. This course provides both a functional understanding of the principles involved in conducting a Design for Manufacture/Design for Assembly (DFM/DFA) study and the process for implementing a DFM/DFA culture into the organization.

EDR's were first installed in 1994 and are now installed in 99% of new light vehicles sold in the US. In the US EDR’s are not required, but vehicles with EDR’s made after 9/1/2012 must meet minimum standardized content requirements of 49 CFR, Part 563 including speed, throttle, brake on/off and Delta V.  Data must be retrievable with a publicly available tool.  Only a few manufacturers install EDR’s worldwide currently, but the EU and China are adopting regulations to require them in the next few years.  

According to NHTSA, there were 932 vehicle recalls in the United States in 2022, affecting approximately 31 million vehicles; 39 electric vehicle recalls affecting more than 1.3 million vehicles, and 56 ADAS recalls affecting more than 4.7 million vehicles. Furthermore, Warranty Week reports that Worldwide Auto Manufacturers allocated a total of $54.7 billion for future warranty repairs or $670 per vehicle sold in 2022. 2023 Consumer Report indicates that Electrical Vehicles have 79% more reliability issues than ICE vehicles.

This course is verified by Probitas as meeting the AS9104/3A requirements for Continuing Professional Development. Project Management and Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) are two critical techniques used in product development in the mobility industry today. This course will bring these techniques together in an easy to understand format that goes beyond the typical concept of constructing timelines and project planning, by exploring not only the Automotive APQP process, but also key aspects of PM processes.

Note: Last day of class ends at approximately 12:30 pm.

This 4-week virtual-only experience, conducted by leading experts in the autonomous vehicle industry and academia, provides an in-depth look at the most common sensor types used in autonomous vehicle applications. By reviewing the theory, working through examples, viewing sensor data, and programming movement of a turtlebot, you will develop a solid, hands-on understanding of the common sensors and data provided by each. This course consists of asynchronous videos you will work through at your own pace throughout each week, followed by a live-online synchronous experience each Friday. The videos are led by Dr.

This research focuses on optimizing vehicle ride and handling performance by utilizing a tuning specifications range. Traditional approaches to refining these aspects involve extensive physical testing, which consumes both time and resources. In contrast, our study introduces a novel methodology leveraging virtual Subjective Rating through driving simulators. This approach aims to significantly reduce tuning time and costs, consequently streamlining overall development expenditures. The core objective is to enhance vehicle ride and handling dynamics, ensuring a superior driving experience for end-users. By meticulously defining and implementing tuning specifications, we aim to fine-tune various parameters affecting performance, including suspension settings and overall vehicle dynamics. In this study, we optimized tuning specifications using advanced software such as Adams/Car and ModeFrontier. Design of experiments and optimizations were conducted in ModeFrontier.

In vehicle Network and interface protection is getting protected with Sec Flash, Sec Boot, Sec NVM, Sec OC, Sec Life Cycle, Sec Debug port but when we consider V2X then we need to be smart enough to identify the security features in connection with abrupt cryptographic algorithm, as the exposure of data in multiple platform mode is too high here.

The results of characteristic analysis and comparative research show that the cooling system can obviously reduce the cylinder wall temperature, internal parts and other parts like gaskets to improve the fatigue life of the components. The measured and simulated results like temperature rise of cooling water due to convection heat transfer, pressure drop across the cooling water flow path and delivery air temperature shows the good correlation with the test results.

The number of accidents on the road has increased recently along with the number of cars, and thus it is very essential to study the crashworthiness of an automobile since human life is at the top of the priority list. In this study, the reflexes of an occupant prior to the crash event are studied, and research has been done on how occupant positioning affects injury metrics.
