Laser beam welding has wide acceptability due to least welding distortion, low labour costs and convenient operation. However, laser welding for dissimilar titanium and aluminium alloys is a new area which is having wider applications in aerospace, aircraft, automotive, electronics and other industries. The present study is concerned with welding parameters namely laser power, welding speed, fo...

Polymers are considered to be good hosting matrices for composite materials because they can easily be tailored to yield a variety of bulk physical properties. Moreover, organic polymers generally have long-term stability and good processability. Inorganic nanoparticles possess outstanding optical, catalytic, electronic and magnetic properties, which are significantly different their bulk state...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are promising lighting sources for general lighting applications with the promise of being more than ten times as efficient as incandescent lighting. Such characteristic combined with their long operating life and reliability has made them becoming a potential choice for next generation of lighting systems including automotive, emergency, backlight, indoor, and outd...

The communication network is a key enabling technology for many of the latest advances in automotive electronics design. As drive-by-wire, vehicle control systems (e.g., vehicle stability control), hit avoidance, pre-crash warnings, and other design advances become more pervasive, the selection of the most appropriate in-vehicle communication protocol(s) for these critical applications becomes ...

The assembly of compliant, non-rigid parts is widely used in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and appliance manufacturing. Dimensional variation is one important measure of quality in such assembly. This paper presents models for analyzing the propagation of dimensional variation in multi-stage compliant assembly systems and the use of such models for robust design and adaptive control of as...

INTRODUCTION The new ADXRS150 and ADXRS300 gyros from Analog Devices, with full-scale ranges of 150/s and 300/s, represent a quantum jump in gyro technology. The first commercially available surface-micromachined angular rate sensors with integrated electronics, they are smaller—with lower power consumption, and better immunity to shock and vibration—than any gyros having comparable functiona...

CAN FD gives the automotive industry a new foundation for better networking solutions in areas where bottlenecks have been occurring for years now due to growth in data traffic in vehicle electronics. This situation has resulted in compromises and makeshift approaches such as subdividing a network into multiple buses, which drives costs higher. However, switching from CAN to the higher performa...

These days, companies in the automotive and electronics sector are forced by legal regulations and customer needs to collect a myriad of different indicators regarding sustainability of their products. However, in today’s supply chains, these products are often the result of the collaboration of a large number of companies. Thus, these companies have to apply complex, cross-organizational, and ...
