Automotive Engineering: Lightweight, Functional, and Novel Materials (Series in Materials Science and Engineering)
Advances in automobile technology are dictated to some extent by the pace of development in materials research. This book, based on a workshop for graduate students in materials science and engineering, presents an overview of the materials currently in use in the automotive industry, and those in development for future implementation.
The book is divided into four sections. The first consists of contributions from those working in the industrial sector, and describes how modern industrial manufacturing methods are applied to 'traditional' materials such as aluminium and steel. The concluding chapters of this section consider how future technologies will be integrated into manufacturing methods. Section 2 reviews so-called 'functional materials', including electronic materials and smart materials. It also contains a chapter which considers the behaviour of automotive materials during impacts, and the modelling of designs to reduce damage caused in this way. Section 3 reviews advances made in the design of structures using lightweight metals and alloys. The final section reviews processing and manufacturing techniques, including those used in specific engineering scenarios.

Automotive Control Systems: For Engine, Driveline, and Vehicle
Advances in automotive control systems continue to enhance safety and comfort and to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Reflecting the trend to optimization through integrative approaches for engine, driveline and vehicle control, this valuable book enables control engineers to understand engine and vehicle models necessary for controller design and also introduces mechanical engineers to vehicle-specific signal processing and automatic control. The emphasis on measurement, comparisons between performance and modelling, and realistic examples derive from the authors? unique industrial experience (e.g. Bosch) and interactions within IFAC and SAE. The second edition offers new or expanded topics such as diesel-engine modelling, diagnosis and anti-jerking control, and vehicle modelling and parameter estimation. The book addresses professional engineers as well as students. With only a few exceptions, the approaches are close to those utilized in actual vehicles, rather than being theoretical constructs.
