The objective of this study is to review and evaluate the applications of magnesium in the automotive industry that can significantly contribute to greater fuel economy and environmental conservation. In the study, the current advantages, limitations, technological barriers and future prospects of Mg alloys in the automotive industry are given. The usage of magnesium in automotive applications ...

After the IEEE ballot accepted the first draft language reference manual for VHDL-AMS (IEEE PAR 1076.1) in October 1997, we now can spend time and effort on applying the new arising methodology to real world problems outside the electronic domain. In automotive engineering we have system design problems dealing with hydraulic or mechanic components and their controlling units, for which we expe...

In this research work, samples of the biocomposite were manufactured using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) technique, whose matrix is a polyester and reinforcement biaxial fabric (90°) made with jute fiber. Then, tensile flexural tests carried out on standardized specimens under ASTM standards, in order to mechanically characterize jute-polyester biocomposite. both destructive te...

Abstract. In this paper we show how the implicit filtering algorithm can be parallelized and applied to problems in parameter identification and optimization in automotive valve train design. We extend our previous work by using a more refined model of the valve train and exploiting parallelism in a new way. We apply the parameter identification results to obtain optimal profiles for camshaft l...

The merit of the project consists in the interdisciplinary joining of the knowledge in the area of light metal alloys, including Al and/or Mg, in the area of materials processing connected with the entire scope of problems connected with manufacturing of products and their elements, in the area of the automated low-pressure die casting, and also in the methodology of structure and properties as...
