The increasing use of camera-based driver assistance systems results in a higher development effort for vehicle manufacturers and automotive suppliers. To control time and costs in the development and validation process, the use of virtual test driving and suitable tools offers the possibility of seamless in-process work with a simulation environment in order to virtually test all the required ...

MSC.Nastran V70.7 was used on the Cray SV1 to perform large-scale NVH problems typically encountered in the automotive industry. Several MSC.Nastran solution sequences such as SOL 103, 111, 108, and 107 are heavily used by automotive customers in a production environment on the Cray SV1. Significant performance improvements were recently made to key MSC.Nastran kernels to exploit the architectu...

Objectives • Develop realistic and internally consistent detailed designs for automotive gasoline fuel processor/ proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems and direct hydrogen PEM fuel cell systems by using current-year technology. • Apply Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) design and costing techniques to compare system designs at low, medium, and high annual production rates. •...

Process support environments (PSEs) are widely used for modelling, enacting and analyzing human intensive processes. The benefits of a PSE become apparent when processes to be supported are long lived and distributed and contain heterogeneous components. Generally, such processes are subject to dynamic evolution, i.e. they have to be changed during their execution. Unfortunately, virtually none...

This work explores the use of additive manufacturing (AM) to reprocess recycled glass and carbon fibers in automotive sector. It aims foster exploitation Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (rGFRPs) Carbon (rCFRPs) through two workflows: indirect Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) UV-assisted Direct Ink Writing (UV-DIW). An industrial case study on vehicle components has been considered by prototypin...

Safety-critical mobile applications running on resource-constrained embedded systems will play an increasingly important role in domains such as automotive systems, space, robotics and avionics. Such applications are composed of mobile autonomous components interacting spontaneously without any infrastructure. Therefore, to undertake safety-critical missions, the applications will have to coord...
