Book Description:
The current automotive industry faces numerous challenges, including increased global competition, more stringent environmental and safety requirements, the need for higher performance vehicles, and reducing costs. The materials used in automotive engineering play key roles in overcoming these issues. Automotive Engineering: Lightweight, Functional, and Novel Materialsby Brian Cantor, Patrick Grant, Colin Johnson focus on both existing materials and future developments in automotive science and technology.
Divided into four sections, the book first describes the development of future vehicles, aluminum alloys for manufacturing lighter body panels, and various polymer composites for stronger module carriers. It then reviews state-of-the-art functional materials and smart technologies and projects in which application areas they will most impact future automotive designs and manufacturing. The next section considers the difficulties that must be overcome for light alloys to displace ferrous-based materials and the increasing competition from lightweight polymeric-based composites. The final section explores newer processing and manufacturing technologies, including welding and joining, titanium alloys, and durable, high-performance composites.

Ebook description
Since the early seventies, the development of the automobile has been characterized by a steady increase in the deployment of onboard electronic systems and software. This trend continues unabated and is driven by rising end-user demands and increasingly stringent environmental requirements. Today, almost every function onboard the modern vehicle is electronically controlled or monitored. The software-based implementation of vehicle functions provides for unparalleled freedoms of concept and design. However, automobile development calls for the accommodation of contrasting prerequisites such as higher demands on safety and reliability versus lower cost ceilings, longer product life cycles versus shorter development times along with a growing proliferation of model variants. Special emphasis is given to the electronic systems in powertrain, chassis, and body. The contents of the driver-vehicle-environment system essential system basics development processes for electronic systems and software methods and tools used in the development, manufacture, and service of electronic systems, will be useful to anyone working with automotive electronic systems and/or software in the automobile manufacturing and supply industry.
