New Developments and Practical Applications

Advancement in Sensing Technology

Eugenius Nijman

Hans-Herwig Priebsch

This book presents seven chapters examining selected noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) topics that are highly relevant for automotive vehicle development. These include applications following the major trends toward increased passenger comfort, vehicle electrification and lightweight design. The authors of the seven chapters, all of which are experts from the automotive industry and academia, present the foremost challenges and potential solutions in this demanding field. Among others, applications for sound optimization in downsized engines, noise optimization in electric powertrains, weight reduction options for exhaust systems, porous materials description, and the vibro-acoustic analysis of geared systems are discussed.

Automotive NVH Technology

Aimé Lay-Ekuakille

This book has focussed on different aspects of smart sensors and sensing technology, i.e. intelligent measurement, information processing, adaptability, recalibration, data fusion, validation, high reliability and integration of novel and high performance sensors in the areas of magnetic, ultrasonic, vision and image sensing, wireless sensors and network, microfluidic, tactile, gyro, flow, surface acoustic wave, humidity and ultra-wide band. While future interest in this field is ensured by the constant supply of emerging modalities, techniques and engineering solutions, as well as an increasing need from aging structures, many of the basic concepts and strategies have already matured and now offer opportunities to build upon. The book has primarily been focussed for postgraduate and research students working on different aspects of design and developments of smart sensors and sensing technology.

New Developments and Applications in Sensing Technology

In the anti-war tradition of The Red Badge of Courage, All Quiet on the Western Front, and A Farewell to Arms, Anton Fuchs's novel is a suspenseful odyssey of flight and personal discovery. His "unheroic" hero's experiences, descriptions of everyday life in the crumbling Third Reich, and conversations with the people he encounters on his desperate journey create a fast-paced adventure novel. The protagonist's thoughtful observations form a provocative eyewitness account of Nazi arrogance, hypocrisy, and political manipulation.
