In automotive industry, materials having excellent resistance to corrosion, good wear resistance and high
strength to weight ratios are important. In accordance with the required properties; aluminum, nickel, titanium, magnesium
and their alloys are mostly used in this industr...
Repeated engagements in dry clutch systems could yield remarkable increase of clutch disk temperature. In dry
clutch based transmissions like Automated Manual Transmissions and Dual Clutch Transmissions the overheating leads to
poor control of gearshift quality due to unpredic...
Vehicle dynamics plays a significant role on the formation of a vehicle platoon, especially at high speed
condition. This paper proposes a distributed platoon formation framework for homogeneous autonomous vehicles which takes
the vehicle dynamics into consideration. The bound...
In order to increase the durability of fuel cell stack, various operating technologies such as voltage cut-off and
lean air operation was verified. With an application of upper voltage cut-off, cell performance loss was effectively diminished,
which suggests that a formation o...
In automotive design, the study of the water thin layer over a car due to rain is becoming increasingly
important: the challenge is to obtain a way to describe the behavior of the water over a vehicle in rainy conditions and its
interactions with wipers and drainage systems, t...
Autonomous cars have become a reality due to breakthroughs in technology enablers such as embedded
computing systems and artificial intelligence. Automated platooning, which can be employed in autonomous cars, allows
grouping of vehicles into platoons. Using this technology in...
The reduction of energy consumption and environmental impacts of road vehicles is always a major design
objective. Many investigations suggest that reducing aerodynamic drags such as pressure drag and skin friction drag is a more
efficient method than engine modification in ac...
Urea SCR technology has been widely used to reduce NOx emissions of diesel engines. Despite remarkable
development for decades, more advanced control and optimization of urea SCR systems are still required as global NOx
emissions standards are expected to become more stringent...
As an important part of continuously variable transmission (CVT) vehicle power transmission system, drive,
neutral and reverse (DNR) wet clutch has the function of transmitting or interrupting vehicle power. However, due to the
complex and variable working conditions of the cl...
When a vehicle is parked under the summer sun, to avoid the passenger discomfort caused by high cabin
temperature, the performance of forced ventilation, which is called pre-ventilation, using a solar sunroof integrated with a
photovoltaic (PV) cell to reduce cabin thermal loa...
