Coetzee, Gerhardus Johannes. "Universal design in automobiles : an investigation into simulators for differently abled drivers." Thesis, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/2469.
Повний текст джерелаSimulators are used for many different purposes, among them physical rehabilitation and the training of differently abled learner-drivers. In South Africa, however, the extent of the latter type of simulators is limited to paraplegic learner-drivers only. The reason is that locally sourcing the necessary equipment to adapt commercial simulators for the training of differently abled learner-drivers presents a problem. The concept of Universal Design stipulates that as many individuals as possible should be able to use a particular product. Consequently, a simulator for differently abled learner-drivers should accommodate as many such persons as possible. However, applying Universal Design in the area of design researched for the present dissertation adds further complexity due to the unique nature of the physical limitations experienced by individuals. A differently abled driver puts an extreme constraint on the design of a product - and becomes a limiting user. Nevertheless, this dissertation adopts a Universal Design approach to investigate the possibility of designing such a simulator in South Africa, as well as its viability. A limiting user was included in the research to represent the bigger differently abled community. Field research was carried out by implementing a Participatory Design process. Furthermore, a team was selected according to a Meta-Design mind-set, including professionals from engineering, clinical psychology and occupational therapy. The leader and researcher was an industrial designer.

Повний текст джерелаThe research field of this work is Industrial Engineering. This paper presents a study made to improve tomorrow’s automobile cabin habitability. It is focused on showing the influence on car-interior design by today’s home-interior design. The objective of this work is to propose a tool intended to help automobile designers to introduce home architectural construction principles into the car’s cabin design to improve its habitability. In our experimental phase we adopted principles of the method of analysis of the joint tendencies such as mappings and boards of categorization. This step showed that car designers have been increasingly using the home architectural construction principles on the car’s cabin conception design. Our research took into account the opinion of experts in both areas: architecture and design. In this way, we can be certain that the home and the automobile share the same criteria of habitability. We could also confirm that home architectural principles have a positive impact on the improvement of the habitability criteria in space design of the automobile’s cabin. This work opens a research line to analyze the influence of different areas in automobile design, such as aeronautics and electronics. This study can also show the inverse perspective of how car design can eventually have an impact on the future home design

Повний текст джерелаIn the last few years, extreme competition between car manufacturers led to higher quality and safety standards, and reduction of costs and delays in product development. Together with technical and regulation evolutions, this caused the design of vehicle subsystems to become more and more constraint. In such a context, designers who want to meet customer requirements have to take the robustness of their products into account, even at early stages of the design process. Indeed, due to the variability of the product itself (in terms of geometrical or mechanical properties, of assembly or ageing of components), or its operating conditions, the stability of the announced performance levels has to be specified and guaranteed, in presence of uncertainty. In addition to high numbers of design variables, constraints and objectives, this ‘robust design’ requires a numerical simulation of this uncertainty. Therefore, a reliable, hierarchized and computationally efficient methodology that fully complies with the V-diagram of Systems Engineering is needed. The First Design methodology is one possible approach. It was successfully used in previous works. The aim of the present thesis is to extend some of its features, and apply it to the robust optimization of the ‘level 5’ functional architecture of automotive suspension systems: front and rear axle design parameters and primary variables of the tires. For this purpose, models and associated tools for optimization and computer-aided decision have to be developed in order to define a global and reliable procedure for the specification of these systems, with a fully integrated and quantified notion of the robustness. The proposed technique, partly relying on physical simplified models and sensitivity estimators directly integrated in the used optimization algorithms, improved the robustness of the solutions significantly, and emphasized the performance gains achieved by taking the presence of semi-active components into account, at early phases of the project

Повний текст джерелаIn a context of strong competition and regulatory pressures, the vehicles on the market share common characteristics. Even though emotions elicited by the driving experience are a powerful lever for differentiation, manufacturers mainly attach the affective dimension to the stylistic properties of their vehicles. They only consider innovations in a functional perspective and offer their customers similar services without regarding the relational factor underlying the use of a vehicle. However, the literature highlights the importance of the emotional dimension of social relations, which in our opinion represents an opportunity for the Renault Group to differentiate itself by proposing a new driving experience based on interactions between drivers. We began our work with an observation field. Our purpose was to determine the conditions and levers establishing a relationship between road users. On the basis of the first results valuing the mutual perception of two drivers, we carried out a minimalist experiment comparing two modes of perception, namely the perceptive information and theperceptual activity, within the framework of a collaborative action. This study emphasizes the crucial role of interpersonal dynamics on the mechanisms of social understanding: the results show the interest, from an emotional point of view, of accessing to what the other is attentive to. We then used these results to design a device for perception and interaction purposes and we studied its role in the emergence of positive emotions when driving. Through a simulator experiment, we have been able to bring out a new type of driving experience resulting from the manipulation of this device. This thesis is based on a theoretical principle put to the test in a field experiment involving road users. We follow an iterative process specific to a research-project approach. We propose a conceptual realization that is not a purpose but a prerequisite. Based on the fact that driving is in itself a social interaction, we suggest ideas for the design of a new feature integrated into the vehicle which arouses positive emotions between drivers

Повний текст джерелаElectric and hybrid vehicles are particularly attractive. They offer several advantages, but at a high cost, which explains their current limited success. The purpose of this work is to contribute to the cost reduction of lithium-ion batteries, the main cost factor in electric vehicles. For the evaluation of cost reduction solutions, a clear and detailed comprehension of the structure of the battery cost is required. A complete environment for the cost modelling of cells for lithium ion batteries has also been developed: two cost models and two databases. This environment is made in order to precisely calculate the cost of a battery using the design parameters. Since there are uncertainties surrounding the cost modelling, an innovative method for the assessment of this uncertainty has also been developed. Using the cost model, several ways of improvement for lithium-ion batteries have been detected and quantified. Thus, a way to reduce the cost evaluated in this work is concerned with a design parameter neglected in the literature: the electrode coating thickness. This model has also confirmed a point already suggested on several papers: the preponderance of active materials on overall cost of lithium-ion batteries. To understand the reasons behind this fact, a cost model for active materials has been developed. New ways of cost reduction have been highlighted with this model. Finally, this work proposes for the first time a complete modelling of cells for lithium-ion batteries, detailed up to materials precursors. It also indicates several ways to reduce the cost of these batteries. This work gives to the community a comprehensive view on the cost structure, essential for the optimization of lithium-ion batteries

Resumo: O conceito drive by wire, resultado da evolução tecnológica, introduziu a comunicação entre sensores e atuadores através de sinais elétricos, substituindo acoplamentos mecânicos como cabos flexíveis e varetas de aço. Destaca-se neste conceito o mecanismo de aceleração de um veículo, no qual a posição angular é convertida em um sinal elétrico que após o devido processamento aciona o motor elétrico que por sua vez posiciona a borboleta de admissão de ar. Sendo assim a ECU tem total autonomia para buscar o melhor desempenho do veículo, seja em percurso ou em partida a frio. A maior parte dos pedais de acelerador utilizados em sistemas de injeção eletrônica de motores de combustão interna existentes no mercado, atualmente é baseada em sensores resistivos (potenciômetros). Estes pedais utilizam tecnologia consagrada e barata, porém esta tecnologia possui alguns inconvenientes com relação a desgastes e variações de resistência com a temperatura. Novos desenvolvimentos estão sendo realizados baseados em sensores sem contato mecânico entre as partes internas. Dentre estes desenvolvimentos, destacam-se os sensores magnéticos de relutância variável (principalmente os LVDTs) e os de efeito Hall. Os pedais que se baseiam nestas tecnologias, no entanto são caros e por isto mesmo, menos difundido no mercado. Nesse trabalho é proposto utilizar outro conceito para implementação de pedais. Este conceito é baseado em um sensor capacitivo, formado por capacitores de placas paralelas e conectado a um circuito adequado de condicionamento, que gera um sinal analógico semelhante ao sinal gerado pelos pedais atuais existentes no mercado. Como a tecnologia capacitiva é relativamente barata, será possível construir pedais sem contato, com baixo custo e atendendo a todos os critérios e normas de segurança e confiabilidade da indústria automotiva
Abstract: The concept drive by wire, results from technologic increases, introduced the communication between sensor and actuators by electrical signals, replacing mechanical couplings as flexible cables and steel rods. Also in the concept, the mechanism of the vehicle acceleration. This angular position is converted into an electrical signal that after due process drives the electric motor that positions the throttle, so the ECU has full autonomy to get the best performance of the vehicle, either in route or cold start. Most of the accelerator pedal systems used in electron injection internal combustion engines (when there is the existence of cable) available today is based on resistive sensors (potentiometers). These pedals use technology knoed and cheaper, but this technology has some problems with respect to wear and resistance change according to temperature. New developments are being made based sensors without mechanical contact between the internal parts. Among these developments, we highlight the magnetic sensors of variable reluctance (especially LVDTs) and the Hall effect, which makes it difficult to accept the market as the technology hall is much more expensive than the already accepted on the resistive pedal. In this paper we proposed to use another concept of technology. This concept is based on a capacitive sensor, consisting of parallel plate capacitors and connected to a circuit of conditioning, the conditioning circuit generates an analog signal similar to that generated by the pedals on the market nowadays. As the capacitive technology is relatively cheaper, you can build pedals contactless, low cost and meeting all the criteria and standards of safety and reliability in the automotive industry

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis is a part of a global research work dedicated to reduced-order modelling applications in the Renault engineering direction. It's research topic has been improved in the IRT System)('s project on Reduced Order Model and Multi-disciplinary Optimization. Some previous thesis can help understand the context. ([Vuong], [Charrier]). The main industrial application of the research theme is the focus on a body structure, in a crash loading. Some research works on acoustic, combustion and aerodynamic are currently ongoing. This thesis is both a contribution to the generic ReCUR method, and its application to a car body structure optimization for crash loadings. Engineering teams at Renault uses optimization to obtain the best crash simulation, with a numerical optimization software, based on designs of experiments. It requires a lot of crash simulation because each simulation is considered as unique, with only one response for each parameter. Only Inputs and Outputs are known. The ReCUR method consider that each simulation is a huge mine that needs our attention. We hope that we can decrease the number of crash simulation required to compute a model, by using much more data for each simulation

Повний текст джерелаThis paper is positioned within the broader context of public transportation systems, with specific focus on the development of urban micro first and last mile mobility solutions, and what it could mean for individuals and the economy. Globally, urban problems such as traffic congestion, poor public transport integration, and carbon emissions are forcing us to rethink traditional means of transport. Large fossil-fuelled vehicles and limited public transport infrastructure characterize South Africa’s transport market. Despite the growth in car use, public transport and walking are still the predominant “lifeline” forms of mobility for the vast majority of South Africans in order to access work, schools and services. Moreover, the lack of public transport services in key economic corridors and rural areas of South Africa, the role of the metered taxi industry which is currently effectively limited to serving only the needs of the tourist market due to high charging regimes, and finally, the absence of an effective inner city transport system endorses the lack of first and last mile transportation solutions, and the integration thereof with other transport mediums. This adds to the conflict commuter’s face on a daily basis in obtaining a seamless distribution of transport services. 80% of trips in urban areas are less than 3km, placing urban micro mobility vehicles in an ideal position as a solution to transportation. This describes the investigation conducted into micro-mobility trends within South Africa to identify a key mode of transport that would comply with the stated requirements, and allow accessibility to commuters within the city and to the surrounding communities. In 2014, Mellowcabs, which are electric public transport vehicles that provide first and last mile transport services, was identified as a promising candidate within the local micro-mobility vehicle context. They were in need of a design input for their immediate next requirement, which thus describes the development of a good protective side door system that would isolate passengers in adverse weather conditions, whilst similarly affording comfort and safety features found in normal passenger vehicles. The design process is focused on creating a new side door, however, at the same time the product should be, elegant, smart, fashionable, comfortable, economical, maneuverable and safe. In addition, the virtual product lifecycle management tool, CATIA, allows the design team to get feedback in terms of physical-based data that correspond to how the door could hinder the passengers interaction while they ingress and egress the vehicle. This enables us to try various designs to perform a comparative study without building a single physical prototype.

Повний текст джерелаThe purpose of this paper was to design and develop an electrical power train for an Urban Concept electric vehicle geared to complete the Shell Eco-Marathon Africa in 2019. Various technologies which make up the electrical drive train of an electrical vehicle were also reviewed which include the battery pack, the battery management system, the motors, the motor management system and the human interface. Upon completion of this, the various topologies best suited for this project were selected, designed, constructed and developed. Two motors were re-designed and constructed for this vehicle and the motor drive was also constructed to control these motors. A Lithium-Ion battery pack was constructed and developed to drive the motors and an off-the-shelf battery management system was purchased and developed to suit the requirements for the Shell Eco- Marathon competition rules. A human interface was also developed in order for the driver to see various parameters of the electric vehicle defined by the Shell Eco-Marathon competition rules. After each component of the drive train was constructed, they underwent various testing procedures to determine the efficiency of each individual component and the overall efficiency for the complete drive train of this electric vehicle was ascertained. The Product Lifecycle Management Competency Centre group developed the chassis for this vehicle. For this reason, only the electric subsystems were evaluated and a simulation was completed of the complete drive train. After the complete drive train was constructed and all the individual subsystems evaluated and simulated, a vehicle with an overall efficiency of about sixty percent was expected and the completed drive train should be adequate enough to complete the entire Shell Eco-Marathon Africa circuit.

Повний текст джерелаThis doctoral thesis originated in an activity clinic intervention in work psychology conducted at the Renault company in France. The intervention covered two activities: assembly line activities and industrial design. The thesis concerns the second activity conducted at the Renault Technocentre. The dialogical process deployed made it possible to reduce isolation at work by developing the psychological function of the group. The assumption put forward is that it is possible to demonstrate this development. The analyses characterise the situations of isolation producing utterances devoid of the existence of others as well as dialogues inhabited by others, a sign of the development of the psychological function of the group. The analyses raise questions concerning the establishment of a lasting dialogical process in the Renault engineering department. Theconclusion highlights the vital role of professional dialogue for efficiency and health at work

Повний текст джерелаA Pesquisa Operacional investiga as (melhores) formas de se configurar e coordenar sistemas ou operações usando técnicas de otimização. Geralmente, a otimização de um sistema é modelado com base no estado final almejado. Porém, como atingir ou implementar tal estado final em sistemas é pouco retratado na literatura. Esta dissertaçãode mestrado propõe uma nova classe de problema de otimização: a programação das operações entre o estado inicial e o final de um sistema, o Problema de Implementação. A programação das operações é especialmente importante para linhas de montagem. A indústria automobilística é fortemente baseada em linhas de produção que podem ser usadas até 24 horas por dia. Assim, as oportunidades de intervenções para mudar ou otimizar o sistema produtivo são poucas. As condições de implementação aplicadas ao balanceamento de linhas produtivas são discutidas, e as características observadas resultam no proposto Problema de Implementação de Linhas de Montagem (PILM). Na dissertação, um guia de modelagem baseado em Programação Linear Inteira Mista (PLIM) é desenvolvido para a formulação de diversas variações do Problema de Implementação. As instruções de modelagem são usadas para desenvolver um conjunto de modelos PLIM para o Problema de Implementação de Linhas de Montagem. Para a obtenção de resultados, um conjunto de instâncias é proposto. Assim, uma análise de sensibilidade em função de cada um dos parâmetros formadores das instâncias é realizada. As formulações são comparadas, junto com as diferentes formas de apresentar e resolver o problema. Ademais, um método de decomposição é usado para resolver um problema industrial real. A modelagem mostrase correta para a divisão da implementação de mudanças em linhas de montagem. Os resultados mostram que a divisão do esforço de implementação resulta em apenas poucas mudanças a mais (cerca de 7% para os casos pequenos e médios) comparadas com a implementação em uma fase. A possibilidade de programar a implementação em etapas menores aumenta a aplicabilidade de projetos, que, de outra forma, requeririam grande paradas de produção.
Operations Research investigates the (best) ways to configure and coordinate systems or operations with optimization procedures. Usually, the optimization of a system is modeled based on the aimed final configuration. However, little is published about how to reach or implement such optimal configurations in the systems. This master thesis proposes a new class of optimization problem: a scheduling of operations between initial and final states of a system, the Implementation Problem. The scheduling of operations is especially important to assembly lines. The automotive industry strongly relies on production lines that can operate 24 hours a day. Thus, the intervention opportunities to change or optimize the production system are very few. The implementation conditions of balancing on assembly lines are discussed, and the observed characteristics result in the proposal of the Assembly Line Implementation Problem (ALIP). The master thesis proposes a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) modeling guide for the formulation of several variations of Implementation Problems. The modeling instructions are used to develop a set of MILP models for the Assembly Line Implementation Problem. For the results, a dataset is proposed and a sensitivity analysis on each of the consistent parameters of the dataset is performed. The proposed formulations are compared, along with the different forms of presenting and solving the problem. Furthermore, a decomposition method is used to solve a real-world industrial problem. The modeling correctly represents the division of the implementation of changes in assembly lines. The results show that the division of the effort in multiple stages only need a few more changes (around 7\% for the small and medium cases) comparing to a straightforward implementation. The possibility of scheduling the implementation in smaller steps increases the applicability of projects that otherwise would require a large system's stoppage time.

Повний текст джерелаLinhas robóticas de solda são comuns na indústria automobilística. Durante a produção de um veículo, sua estrutura metálica precisa ser soldada em um único corpo resistente. Isso é feito por meio de centenas de soldas a ponto por resistência, cada uma liga localmente duas ou mais placas metálicas. Distribuir eficientemente esses pontos entre robôs é particularmente desafiador, levando em conta que: cada robôs podem fazer acessar uma parte dos pontos de solda, há tempo de movimentação entre pontos e robôs podem colidir entre si se ocuparem o mesmo espaço físico ao mesmo tempo. Há muitas maneiras factíveis de distribuir pontos de solda. No entanto, cada uma gera um resultado econômico diferente: Se um robô soldar muitos pontos se tornará um gargalo e reduzirá a taxa média de produção.Obter o conjunto de decisões operacionais que gera o melhor desempenho é o objetivo de técnicas de otimização. Há uma ampla variedade de técnicas descritas na literatura de pesquisa operacional e ciência da computação: modelos matemáticos, algoritmos, heurísticas, meta-heurísticas, etc. No contexto industrial, tais técnicas foram adaptadas para diversas variantes de problemas práticos. No entanto, estas adaptações só podem resolver as variantes para as quais foram idealizadas. Se por um lado podem se traçar paralelos entre vários aspectos de linhas robóticas de solda e tais variantes, por outro o conjunto completo de características das linhas estudadas não é tratável por (ou convertível em) nenhuma delas. A presente dissertação desenvolve uma abordagem para otimizar tais linhas, baseada em um modelo de programação linear inteira mista desenvolvido para descrever o problema. Ela também apresenta um estudo de caso para discutir e ilustrar possíveis dificuldades de aplicação e como superá-las. O modelo apresentado foi aplicado a dados de uma linha robótica de solda da fábrica, composta por quarenta e dois robôs, quatro modelos de veículos e mais de setecentos pontos de solda por veículo. A média ponderada da redução em tempo de ciclo obtida pelo modelo foi de 17.5%. Variantes do modelo, concebidas para auxiliar trabalhos futuros, são apresentadas e discutidas.
Robotic welding manufacturing lines are production lines common in automobile industries. During a vehicle's production, the vehicle's metal structure must be welded in a single resistant body. This is made by hundreds of spot-welding points, each of which tie locally two or more metal plates. Efficiently distributing these welding points amongst robots is particularly challenging, taking in account that: not all robots can perform all weld points, robots must move their welding tools between weld points, and robots might interfere with one another if they use the same geometrical space. There are multiple feasible manners to distribute the welding points. However, each of these forms generates different economical results: If a robot performs too many points, it will become a line bottleneck and reduce average throughput. To find the set of operational decisions that yields the best output is the goal of optimization techniques. There are a wide variety of such techniques described in operations research and computer sciences literature: mathematical models, algorithms, heuristics, meta-heuristics, etc. In the industrial context, these techniques were adapted to related line balancing problems. However, these adaptations can only solve the specific variants they were designed to address. While parallels can be drawn between aspects of robotic welding lines and many of such variants, the full combined set of characteristics of the studied lines is not treatable by (or convertible to) any of them. This dissertation develops a framework to optimize such lines, based on mixed-integer linear programing model developed to describe the problem. It also presents a case study to discuss and illustrate possible difficulties and how to overcome them. The presented model was applied to data from the factory's robotic welding lines composed of forty-two robots (divided in thirteen stations), four vehicle models and over seven hundred welding points for each vehicle. The weighted average reduction percentage in cycle time obtained by the model was 17.5%. Model variants, designed to aid further works are presented and discussed.

Повний текст джерелаRising lightweight requirements have led in recent years to an intensified development of new lightweight materials and high-performance processing technologies for the implementation of lightweight automotive components in a large scale production. For trim parts in the automotive interior, natural fiber-reinforced plastics in the form of nonwovens, are successfully established. To fullfill the mechanical requirements, the most common design of such parts is monolithical with an component specific area weight of the semi-finished products between 1200–1400 g/m2. A promising strategy for generating further lightweight potentials are sandwich constructions, which are currently rarely used in the automotive interior, due to the lack of suitable material concepts. The aim of this work is the development of a new sandwich-based lightweight concept, that fullfills the requirements in terms of formability and component stability, by permitting a weight reduction of the semi-finished product below 1000 g/m 2 at the same time. The part production is based on a novel process chain, where light NF-PP hybrid nonwovens are continuously processed with a polymeric foam foil to a semi-finished product, that is formed afterwards to complex parts in a compression molding process. The optimal processing parameters along the entire process chain are determined by sensitivity analyses, and validated by a technology demonstrator. In addition, the technology demonstrator will be used for the development of a novel simulation approach, where local changes of the area weight in the forming process and the resulting material properties are taken into account for a numerical analysis of stiffness and strength. Finally the potential environmental impact of the new sandwich-based lightweight technology and a possible method for material recycling are investigated.:1 Einleitung 2 Problemstellung und Zielsetzung 3 Leichtbau im Fahrzeuginterieur 4 Neues ökologisches Leichtbaukonzept für Interieur-Verkleidungselemente 5 Beschreibung der Prüfmethoden 6 Werkstoffmechanische Betrachtung einer Referenzstruktur 7 Halbzeugentwicklung und -optimierung 8 Bauteil- und Verfahrensentwicklung 9 Struktursimulation von neuartigen Mikrosandwich-Bauteilen 10 Vergleichende Ökobilanzierung 11 Stoffliche Wiederverwertungsstrategie für Altbauteile 12 Zusammenfassung

The physical equations describing problems of this nature are presented and some of the important concepts introduced. These equations and concepts were verified by comparison to published results. The Method of Characteristics (MaC) for unsteady one-dimensional flow with friction and heat transfer was used to analyse the gas flow through the inlet and exhaust systems of an engine. The theoretical derivation of unsteady gas dynamic boundary conditions is presented and the integration with the unsteady pipe flow explained. A simulation flow model was developed to analyse the flow by using the Mae. Thisflow model was then incorporated into an engine simulation program, ESA,to simulate internal combustion engines and to predict the performance of a specific engine. A cam-profile model and an in-cylinder thermodynamic model are used to complete the ESAsoftware. Experimental work was done on a modified Nissan Z24/NA20 engine to evaluate the simulation model. The manifolds of the Nissan Z24/NA20 were modified to isolate one of the cylinders for a proper single cylinder model. More experimental work was done on a Volkswagen 1.6£ 8-valve and a 1.6£ 20-valve engine to obtain performance data on two inlet manifolds developed using the ESAsoftware. Performance data and pressure traces in the inlet manifold of the Nissan Z24/NA20 were recorded for comparison with the ESA software. Good correspondence was found between tested and modelled data and the differences varied between ±5% on engine performance data and pressure wave frequency predictions, and ± 10% on pressure pulse amplitudes.

Повний текст джерелаThe aim of this research introduces general concepts for performance assessment of virtual reality environments which are relevant to the design activity of manufactured products. Moreover, it aims to present also the context of the research respect to the Thai automotive industry, because this thesis expect to build new knowledge for the benefit of Thailand economy. This research covers several contexts of Human-Computer Interaction research as well as evolution of the VR assessment in the industrial and educational sector. The state of the art with direct relevance for the current research includes: user interface, human factor issues but also usability assessment but the wish here is to go a step further towards utility assessment. This research focuses on abstract level assessment criteria including: affordance, ergonomics, intuitiveness, tangibility, and tiredness assessments. We propose and analyse an assessment method of virtual reality for given activities. We are specifically concerned by activities involved at design stage or at manufacturing preparation stage and we have a deep focus on assembly activity and motion simulation. The design of a virtual reality environment and the implementation of a computer application that supports the evaluation of these activities are presented. The main objective of such application remains the assessment of the performance of virtual reality environments to support the tasks of designers and engineers.This research consists of two main activities: The first experience to validate the evaluation and comparison of the performance of the VRES by the use of low basic sensors consisting of docking quality, task duration, and gesture instability sensor. The experimental task is a set of simple screw assemblies allowing the analysis of the basic movements such as translation, rotation, orientation, and insertion into the holes. We have implemented the experiment on four environments and invited 40 participants to our experiment protocol. The second experience was thus organized around a barrel cam mechanism simulation which is operated with a single rotation motion but which provides a complex cam 3D trajectory. Even design experts may have some difficulties to anticipate the behaviour of this system. They usually experience difficulties when tuning design parameters to ensure that the mechanism is working well. It is thus investigated virtual reality capacity to overpass these difficulties. If this capacity is demonstrated, it is also expected to evaluate and compare the performance of the virtual reality environment system by the use of high level abstract assessment technique combined with low level sensors. Thirty participants have been involved in an experience where both basic sensors and high level assessment criteria were captured. Four virtual reality environments including either stereoscopy or haptic force-feedback device were compared respect to a given task

Повний текст джерелаEste trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver uma abordagem para auxiliar as montadoras na obtenção de informações sobre os problemas e falhas que ocorrem nos veículos durante o seu uso pelos motoristas, relacionando os dados obtidos com a leitura da telemetria do veículo, assim como as percepções do motorista sobre uma determinada falha. A exploração de técnicas que auxiliam o diagnóstico automotivo é um problema a ser discutido na engenharia. As técnicas de diagnóstico devem fornecer suporte à grande gama de sistemas que surgirão nos próximos anos. Assim, é possível também utilizar a conectividade que os celulares e veículo dispõem na atualidade, com o intuito de evoluir o produto oferecido e melhorar a experiência do cliente enquanto dirige. A inclusão do cliente no processo de diagnóstico, visa permitir que os projetistas identifiquem pontos que podem ser melhorados no carro, mesmo que não apresentem erro aparente. A opinião do cliente pode ser considerada, uma vez que ele é incluído no processo como um novo “sensor" (o mais inteligente e importante de todos) capaz de reportar suas percepções. Considerando este fato, a motivação deste trabalho se encontra em: (i) Procurar alternativas para aplicar de maneira eficiente a conectividade dos veículos no processo de diagnóstico; (ii)Permitir que as montadoras possam obter informações mais concretas dos veículos que comercializam. O objeto é fornecer um sistema de interface entre o usuário e o carro auxiliando a realização dos diagnósticos preventivos mais completos do que apenas usando a telemetria. Neste projeto busca-se que haja uma interação maior com o motorista, e que a experiência das montadoras possa entrar no processo de diagnóstico. Mesmo que o cliente não tenha tanta intimidade com o funcionamento do veículo, o sistema deve orientar o motorista no processo. A entrada de dados do cliente é realizada por texto ou comando de voz. Para a análise desta entrada de dados do cliente foi realizado um estudo de mineração de dados em bases que a montadora já possuía. Estas bases são entrevistas telefônicas nas quais a montadora pergunta ao cliente problemas percebidos no carro, e então as respostas são transcritas para a base. O estudo de mineração de dados foi realizado para a criação do classificador que é responsável por receber os dados de entrada do cliente e classifica-lo em um determinado problema ligado à multimídia ou relacionado ao motor do veículo. O software contido no celular será responsável por solicitar ao sistema de sensores do veículo as leituras necessárias para que o cliente obtenha as informações que deseja. Foi realizado um experimento no qual analistas de diagnóstico responderam a um questionário que buscava analisar se o sistema proposto realmente influenciava no processo de diagnóstico, fazendo com que a solução dos problemas no veículo seja realizada em menos etapas, se comparado com o processo atual. Os resultados mostraram que a abordagem diminuiu o número de etapas necessárias para a obtenção do diagnóstico correto. Dos três estudos de caso realizados, as etapas necessárias para se chegar ao diagnóstico apropriado diminuiu em uma etapa para o primeiro estudo de caso, diminuiu uma etapa para o segundo estudo de caso, e três etapas a menos para o terceiro estudo de caso. Com estes resultados foi possível demonstrar que a abordagem proposta influiu no processo de diagnóstico aplicado atualmente pelas montadoras e concessionárias analisadas.
The goal of this project is to develop an approach to assist automakers in obtaining information about the problems and failures that occur in the vehicles during their use by drivers, relating the data obtained by reading the telemetry of the vehicle, as well as the perceptions of the driver about a particular failure. The exploration of techniques to optimize automotive diagnosis is a problem to be discussed in Engineering. Diagnostic techniques should support the wide range of systems that will emerge in the coming years. Thus, it is also possible to use the connectivity that mobile phones and vehicles have today, in order to evolve the product offered and improve the customer experience while driving. The customer inclusion in the diagnostic process aims to allow engineers identifies points to be improved in the car, even if they dont present an apparent error. The customer opinion should be considered, since he/she is included in the process as a new "sensor"(the most intelligent and important of all) able to report his/her perceptions. Considering this fact, the motivation of this research is: (i) search for alternatives to efficiently apply vehicle connectivity in the diagnostic process, (ii) enable automakers to obtain more concrete information on the vehicles they sell. The object is provide an interface between the user and the car helping them to perform a more complete preventive diagnoses than only using telemetry. In this project it is sought that there is a greater interaction with the driver, and the experience of the automakers could be included the diagnostic process. Even if the customer isnt so accustomed with the operation of the vehicle, the system must guide the driver by the process. The customer input data is performed by text or voice command. The analysis of this customer input data, a data mining study was performed based on a base that automaker already had. These bases are telephone interviews in which the automaker asks the customer for perceived problems in the car, and then the answers are transcribed to the base. The data mining study was performed to create one classifier which was responsible for receiving the input data from the customer and sorting it into a particular problem related with the multimídia or related to the motor of the vehicle. The software contained in the mobile phone will be responsible asking to the vehicle sensor system for the readings necessary for the customer can to obtain the information he/she wants. An experiment was carried out in which diagnostic analysts answered a questionnaire that sought to analyze whether the proposed system actually influenced the diagnostic process, so the solution of the problems in the vehicle was performed on less steps compared to the current process. The results showed the approach reduced the number of steps required to obtain the correct diagnosis. Of the three case studies performed, the steps required to arrive at appropriate diagnosis decreased in one step to the first case study, one step to the second case study decreased, and three less steps to the third case study . With these results it was possible to demonstrate that the proposed approach influenced the diagnostic process currently applied by the automakers and concessionaires analyzed.

Повний текст джерелаOne of the most challenging tasks in modern engineering is that of keeping the cost of manufactured goods small. With the advent of computational design, prototyping for instance, a major source of expenses, is reduced to its bare essentials. In fact, through the use of high-fidelity models, engineers can predict the behaviors of the systems they design quite faithfully. To be fully realistic, such models must embed uncertainties that may affect the physical properties or operating conditions of the system. This PhD thesis deals with the constrained optimization of structures under uncertainties in the context of automotive design. The constraints are assessed through expensive finite element models. For practical purposes, such models are conveniently substituted by so-called surrogate models which stand as cheap and easy-to-evaluate proxies. In this PhD thesis, Gaussian process modeling and support vector machines are considered. Upon reviewing state-of-the-art techniques for optimization under uncertainties, we propose a novel formulation for reliability-based design optimization which relies on quantiles. The formal equivalence of this formulation with the traditional ones is proved. This approach is then coupled to surrogate modeling. Kriging is considered thanks to its built-in error estimate which makes it convenient to adaptive sampling strategies. Such an approach allows us to reduce the computational budget by running the true model only in regions that are of interest to optimization. We therefore propose a two-stage enrichment scheme. The first stage is aimed at globally reducing the Kriging epistemic uncertainty in the vicinity of the limit-state surface. The second one is performed within iterations of optimization so as to locally improve the quantile accuracy. The efficiency of this approach is demonstrated through comparison with benchmark results. An industrial application featuring a car under frontal impact is considered. The crash behavior of a car is indeed particularly affected by uncertainties. The proposed approach therefore allows us to find a reliable solution within a reduced number of calls to the true finite element model. For the extreme case where uncertainties trigger various crash scenarios of the car, it is proposed to rely on support vector machines for classification so as to predict the possible scenarios before metamodeling each of them separately

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation deals with optimizing expensive or time-consuming black-box functionsto obtain the set of all optimal compromise solutions, i.e. the Pareto front. In automotivedesign, the evaluation budget is severely limited by numerical simulation times of the considered physical phenomena. In this context, it is common to resort to “metamodels” (models of models) of the numerical simulators, especially using Gaussian processes. They enable adding sequentially new observations while balancing local search and exploration. Complementing existing multi-objective Expected Improvement criteria, we propose to estimate the position of the whole Pareto front along with a quantification of the associated uncertainty, from conditional simulations of Gaussian processes. A second contribution addresses this problem from a different angle, using copulas to model the multi-variate cumulative distribution function. To cope with a possibly high number of variables, we adopt the REMBO algorithm. From a randomly selected direction, defined by a matrix, it allows a fast optimization when only a few number of variables are actually influential, but unknown. Several improvements are proposed, such as a dedicated covariance kernel, a selection procedure for the low dimensional domain and of the random directions, as well as an extension to the multi-objective setup. Finally, an industrial application in car crash-worthiness demonstrates significant benefits in terms of performance and number of simulations required. It has also been used to test the R package GPareto developed during this thesis

Повний текст джерела[...] This thesis was defined in the DEFI project to characterize the notion of efficiency in Inventive Design, and develop the metrics of inventive-design. The objective of this proposal is to define inventive performance indicators to enhance the creative capacity in the automotive industry. The research is focused on the NPD projects of R&D department, which are known as the responsible of technological evolutions. In this respect, the main elements of design performance, and the main criteria of inventiveness are studied and merged together. The inventive performance of a R&D team is concerned with the efficiency of their activities to create inventive designs when they apply existing knowledge, and/or use creative resources. This analyzes the relationship between what is received and what is applied or consumed to achieve higher inventiveness degree. The measures of inventiveness are based on the evaluation of novelty, resourcefulness, and usefulness of what comes out from design activities. All the evaluation methods developed in this work are integrated into a concrete system as IDPMS (Inventive Design Performance Measurement System), and an initial version of the IDPMS application is developed, by which R&D and project managers can observe the inventive performance of their NPD projects. So this work is categorized in Engineering Science for specifying performance indicators of inventive design activities. In recent years, our laboratory (LGeCo) focused on developing theoretical methods, then appropriate tools to accompany the industrial changes from the era of quality to the era of innovation. In this regard, this thesis provides the missing link of this effort by evaluating the main characteristics of inventions in engineering level to help companies enter into a logic performance along their innovation projects

Повний текст джерелаThe goal of ergonomic of adapting work to Man has gradually broadened in scope, notably with the evolution of the concept of health towards integrating the possibility for workers to make full use of their skills. Following this view, the main goal of our research was to better understand the possibilities of joint development of people and organization within a “lean production” industry. Three perspectives of analysis were fallowed. The first perspective related to the underlying model of work in lean production. The second perspective focused on mobilizing work activity as part of continual improvement approaches. The third perspective focused on the forms and goals of the transformation of work, in order to identify the role of ergonomics and evolutions in the practice of ergonomics in order to act in a context of deployment of a lean production system. Our results suggested that ergonomic action focused on identifying the conditions of improved participation is not enough. One must also provide feedback at the strategic level of management, so as to broaden the goals of projects aiming for continual improvement, by including the goals that had not been previously anticipated, and that had been formulated by operators

Повний текст джерелаAutomotive design is a complex and uncertain process creating a multidimensional value. This process is also characterized by a difficult coordination of the multitude of actors from different areas involved in the design a complex and uncertain product.An analysis of existing control methods in the literature allows us to identify some limits which hamper the simultaneously response to all the characteristics of this process. We propose an innovative control method articulating Value, Opportunities and Risks. Our method contributes to the theoretical works proposing the integration of two major control fields: Performance Management (PM) and Risk Management (RM). Our method allows overcoming the limitations of existing control methods through the adoption of a holistic (taking into account all the dimensions of value), a systemic (taking into account the complex interactions between the various components of this process) and a dynamic approach (by a systematic integration of risks and opportunities to the control of value creation process).To implement this control method in PSA group design process we built a generic prototype. This allowed the mobilization of actors by fixing an improvement trajectory and a dynamic co-conception of an applicable version for PSA.The results of the implementation allowed us to : i) confirm the benefits of our control method articulating Value, Opportunities and Risks which interested several key actors and lead to some effective improvements in vehicle projects management and actors coordination and; ii) reveal difficulties dues to the gap between some of our proposals, seeking to build tools reflecting the design process complexity, and willingness of stakeholders to simplify the method and to focus, in a context of crisis, on the economic dimension and risk management.In our thesis, we also propose some perspectives to improve Management Control function, through the integration of our control method, for a better match with the characteristics of the automotive design process

Current the die face design are based on the expert experiences and trial and error method. The process time may be long, so that less competition on the market. Therefore, speeding up the development time for the die face design is a crucial issue for the car industry. This research is divided into two sections, the design principles and construction tools for the die face. Narrative parameters of the die face design of the drawing mold are mostly considered on the general literature reviews, but die face design on the full mould is less consideration, such as trimming, restriking mould. This article summarized all design principles of the die face design from the manufacturing factorys and literatures. On the construction tools of the die face, the software Spring Solid CAD system is used for the developing platform which is written by Java language. In this paper, some existed software systems such as UG, Dynavista, PAM-STAMP, are used for comparisons. This paper proposes the automatic construction wireframes for the addendum design instead of manually input a single section of the existed addendum modeling tools, such as the Dynavista. Trimming mould is considered for the construction of section profile for the addendum designs, and the guide curves is also used for the adjustment of the appearance of the die face in order to reduce the building time of the trial and error method. The paper proposes the calculation of the trimming contour for the complex geometric shapes and gives some comparisons with the software system Dynavista.

Повний текст джерелаThe automotive industry is the third largest sector in the South African economy and it plays such an important role in the economy, that it is often viewed used as a barometer of the health of the economy. Despite the relatively large number of automotive component manufacturers (ACMs) in South Africa, manufacturing a wide range of automotive components, and the incentives offered by the government to increase the local content of vehicles manufactured in the country, the majority of vehicle manufacturers as well as after-market wholesalers and retailers in South Africa source a greater proportion of their automotive components from foreign suppliers. This may be due to a number of reasons, and in this regard, this study investigated the nature and extent to which ACMs in Gauteng, South Africa, used innovative strategies to remain competitive. A quantitative research design was used, and a self-administered questionnaire was sent to all of the ACMs located in Gauteng. Some of the main findings from the study was that only 48.9% of the respondents had a Research and Development (R&D) department; ACMs ranked their clients, who include motor vehicle manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers, as the most important source of innovation, with existing employees being ranked second, suppliers ranked third, and competitors ranked fourth. The importance of a highly skilled workforce was highlighted by the finding that almost three quarters of the respondents agreed with the statement that new ideas and suggestions from employees had been implemented. Although the local motor vehicle manufacturers purchase most of the automotive components from ACMs located outside South Africa, the finding that 82% of the ACMs surveyed have been in operation for more than 10 years, with 72% of these organisations in operation for more than 15 years, indicates that most local ACMs are financially profitable and have adapted to global competition.

"The independent steering and driving vehicle: design, energy efficiency and parking analysis." Thesis, 2010. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6075244.
Повний текст джерелаThereafter, the thesis studies two aspects of benefits the ISDV can bring to parking. One is in space efficiency, defined as the ratio of the total space occupied by the vehicle in its final parked state over the whole area covered by the parking lot. Comparison of the ISDV and traditional vehicles in parking proves that the ISDV afford a higher level of space efficiency. The other aspect is the parking time. It is tested experimentally in the hardware-in-loop (HIL) system, and the motions of traditional vehicles, the zero radius turning motion, and the free motion of the ISDV are compared. The less time for parking demonstrates the easiness to steer the ISDV.
Throughout the history of human civilization, vehicles have played a significant role by connecting people in various locations. They have thus boosted the progress of civilization and made our lives more convenient. However, as the number of vehicles on the road has increased, the convenience, which vehicles provide, has gradually turned into inconvenience in three respects: 1) the energy consumed by vehicles accounts for a large proportion of total energy consumption, which is in an ever-increasing trend; 2) more parking space is needed, a significant proportion of which is not for parking itself but for enabling the vehicle to be navigated to its final parking slot; 3) the effort required to park a car is also troublesome, causing the driver to spend much more time in a crowded parking lot.
To alleviate these three problems, I develop a methodology to design an independent steering and driving vehicle (ISDV). It brings together the robotic technologies of steer-by-wire, drive-by-wire, four-wheel-independent-steering, and four-wheel-independent-driving. All four wheels of the ISDV can be steered independently, so that vehicle rotation and translation can be decoupled from each other. Omni-directional motions such as zero radius turning (ZRT) and lateral parking (LP) are realized, thereby enhancing the agility of the vehicle. In contrast with omni-directional wheeled mobile robots, this vehicle is targeted at serving as a human carrier or even as a vehicle carrier in the future.

Shinde, Satyajeet Suresh. "Structural Optimization of Thin Walled Tubular Structure for Crashworthiness." Thesis, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1805/6104.
Повний текст джерелаCrashworthiness design is gaining more importance in the automotive industry due to high competition and tight safety norms. Further there is a need for light weight structures in the automotive design. Structural optimization in last two decades have been widely explored to improve existing designs or conceive new designs with better crashworthiness and reduced mass. Although many gradient based and heuristic methods for topology and topometry based crashworthiness design are available these days, most of them result in stiff structures that are suitable only for a set of vehicle components in which maximizing the energy absorption or minimizing the intrusion is the main concern. However, there are some other components in a vehicle structure that should have characteristics of both stiffness and flexibility. Moreover, the load paths within the structure and potential buckle modes also play an important role in efficient functioning of such components. For example, the front bumper, side frame rails, steering column, and occupant protection devices like the knee bolster should all exhibit controlled deformation and collapse behavior. This investigation introduces a methodology to design dynamically crushed thin-walled tubular structures for crashworthiness applications. Due to their low cost, high energy absorption efficiency, and capacity to withstand long strokes, thin-walled tubular structures are extensively used in the automotive industry. Tubular structures subjected to impact loading may undergo three modes of deformation: progressive crushing/buckling, dynamic plastic buckling, and global bending or Euler-type buckling. Of these, progressive buckling is the most desirable mode of collapse because it leads to a desirable deformation characteristic, low peak reaction force, and higher energy absorption efficiency. Progressive buckling is generally observed under pure axial loading; however, during an actual crash event, tubular structures are often subjected to oblique impact loads in which Euler-type buckling is the dominating mode of deformation. This undesired behavior severely reduces the energy absorption capability of the tubular structure. The design methodology presented in this paper relies on the ability of a compliant mechanism to transfer displacement and/or force from an input to desired output port locations. The suitable output port locations are utilized to enforce desired buckle zones, mitigating the natural Euler-type buckling effect. The problem addressed in this investigation is to find the thickness distribution of a thin-walled structure and the output port locations that maximizes the energy absorption while maintaining the peak reaction force at a prescribed limit. The underlying design for thickness distribution follows a uniform mutual potential energy density under a dynamic impact event. Nonlinear explicit finite element code LS-DYNA is used to simulate tubular structures under crash loading. Biologically inspired hybrid cellular automaton (HCA) method is used to drive the design process. Results are demonstrated on long straight and S-rail tubes subject to oblique loading, achieving progressive crushing in most cases.

Повний текст джерелаThe Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System (PAEB) can utilize on-board sensors to detect pedestrians and take safety related actions. However, PAEB system only benefits the individual vehicle and the pedestrians detected by its PAEB. Additionally, due to the range limitations of PAEB sensors and speed limitations of sensory data processing, PAEB system often cannot detect or do not have sufficient time to respond to a potential crash with pedestrians. For further improving pedestrian safety, we proposed the idea for integrating the complimentary capabilities of V2V and PAEB (V2V-PAEB), which allows the vehicles to share the information of pedestrians detected by PAEB system in the V2V network. So a V2V-PAEB enabled vehicle uses not only its on-board sensors of the PAEB system, but also the received V2V messages from other vehicles to detect potential collisions with pedestrians and make better safety related decisions. In this thesis, we discussed the architecture and the information processing stages of the V2V-PAEB system. In addition, a comprehensive Matlab/Simulink based simulation model of the V2V-PAEB system is also developed in PreScan simulation environment. The simulation result shows that this simulation model works properly and the V2V-PAEB system can improve pedestrian safety significantly.

Повний текст джерелаAutomotive bumpers are installed primarily to minimize damage and harm to both the automobile and passengers during minor and low speed collisions. The efficacy of the current bumper systems lies in absorbing the impact energy. The primary mechanism for energy absorption is damage. In this study an attempt is made to shift from this traditional design platform by exploring non-destructive energy dissipation mechanisms. In pursuit of this, an alternative bumper system that simulates human-arm ergonomic response to impact has been proposed. The system capitalizes on the characteristic dissipative mechanics of granular media. A mathematical model describing the dissipative mechanics of the system is presented. The model shows that granular media can be used effectively to re-direct the impulse wave away from its axis of incidence. The resulting effect is that the impulse wave is attenuated through the thickness. A second mathematical model, based on the Concept of Energy Balance has been developed. Here, the total impact energy is shown to be absorbed or dissipated by the individual components of the system. The largest component of this energy is taken up by sliding and rotation of the granular media. Both models are validated by experimentation. A prototype system has been built and tested. The system effectively manages impact energy with minimal or no damage to the constituent components. The system demonstrates an ability to recover dimensionally when loaded under FMVSS conditions.
