In todays aerospace industry, product life-cycles are often being
extended far beyond a products original design expectations. With
fewer and fewer new aerospace products being introduced into the
marketplace, there is a dramatic need for increased emphasis on sup-
porting these products in the most efficient and effective manner
possible throughout the entire product life-cycle. In addition to the
initial product acquisition cost, customers are becoming more aware
and sensitive to the products total life-cycle cost. The long-term costs
to operate, maintain, and otherwise sustain these products are often
a determining factor in the initial product acquisition. This two day
seminar is intended to introduce participants to the various approach-
es, technologies, and tools available to support a product throughout
the products total life-cycle in the most efficient manner possible.
Major topics presented and discussed during this seminar include The
Elements of Logistics, Performance Based Logistics, Product Support
Integration, and regulatory requirements. Collectively, the information
presented in this seminar will equip attendees with the skills and tech-
niques needed to help them comfortably and confidently develop the
best tailored support package, satisfying the needs of both the customer
and the provider.

Counterfeit electronic Parts
avoidance training
May 17, 2010 -- Wichita, KS, USA
i.D.#C0950
Counterfeit electronic parts have been found in almost every sector of
the electronics industry and continue to be an increasing threat to elec-
tronic hardware. This threat poses significant performance, reliability
and safety risks. Aerospace industry organizations, in particular, must
produce and continually improve safe and reliable products that meet
or exceed customer and regulatory authority requirements. The SAE
AS5553 standard was created in response to the significant and increas-
ing volume of counterfeit electronic parts entering the aerospace supply
chain and standardizes requirements, practices and methods for coun-
terfeit parts risk mitigation. The resulting document presents solutions
to address counterfeit electronic parts issues across a large cross-section
of the electronics industry. This comprehensive one-day seminar intro-
duces participants to AS5553 and specifically addresses counterfeit part
risk mitigation methods in electronic design and parts management,
supplier management, procurement, part verification, material control,
and response strategies when suspect or confirmed counterfeit parts
are discovered. The seminar will provide information and guidance
in each of these key requirement areas. The latter part of the course
will highlight counterfeit detection techniques and part compliance
verification methods. Several examples of counterfeit parts will be
reviewed in detail. The course will conclude with a hands-on learning
exercise in identifying, under a microscope, characteristics that can be
found in counterfeit electronic parts. To accomplish this, attendees are
encouraged to bring a personal laptop computer. The instructors will
provide a limited number of digital microscopes and electronic parts.
In addition to the seminar handout, a copy of the AS5553-Counterfeit

In a global economy, aviation, space and defense organizations are pre-
sented the challenge of producing and delivering safe and reliable prod-
ucts across a wide range of customer requirements and expectations.
In doing so, these organizations must also meet various statutory and
regulatory requirements. In an effort to address diverse quality require-
ments and expectations while also being able to reduce costs through-
out the supply chain, AS9100 was developed by international aerospace
industry representatives to standardize international aerospace quality
management system requirements. Subject to periodic revisions, the
latest revision to this standard was released in January 2009.
This two-hour webinar will provide participants with first-hand expla-
nations and insight regarding the changes found in AS9100:2009 (Rev
C). The instructor will begin with an explanation of the overall revision
objectives followed by the design specification criteria that each change
was required to meet in order to be considered. Because AS9100 incor-
porates the requirements of ISO 9001:2008, participants will also gain
valuable insight into the ISO 9001:2008 amendment. The instructor
will then guide participants through the implementation timeline so
that each participant acquires understanding and insight into how
AS9100 Rev C will impact their organization and their efforts to
obtain certification.

Understanding as9100C Quality
management system standard
April 29-30, 2010 -- Wichita, KS, USA
i.D.#C0935
In a global economy, suppliers have the challenge of delivering prod-
ucts to multiple customers with varying quality requirements and
expectations. To assure customer satisfaction, aviation, space and
defense organizations must produce and constantly improve safe, reli-
able products that meet or exceed customer demand in addition to
meeting statutory and regulatory requirements. This two-day seminar
focuses on the changes to the newly revised AS9100, in Revision C
to ensure solid application of the new specifics for the revision of
this standard and its family of documents. AS9100 has been revised
to incorporate the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. Included in the
training will be a detailed review and intent of AS9100-C require-
ments and all changes made with an overview of the process used to
update the standard, including the design specification. A discussion
on the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) and American
Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG) will also be included. The original
version of International Standard AS9100 specifies requirements for a
quality management system. This standard specifies where an organiza-
tion needs to demonstrate ability to consistently provide product that
meets customer and applicable regulatory requirements, and aims to
enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the
system, including processes for continual improvement of the system
and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable regulatory
requirements. While this course provides a comprehensive overview of
the changes made to AS9100 in Revision C, additional training would
be required for auditor certification.

acquiring and analyzing Data from
sensors and in-Vehicle networks
June 17-18, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#C0522
The acquisition of test data is required throughout the products life
cycle - in prototype performance evaluation, reliability/durability test-
ing, duty-cycle analysis, end of line testing, and service and aftermarket
product areas. Both lab and on-road testing is needed for components,
sub-systems and entire vehicles. As in-vehicle networks become increas-
ingly more sophisticated in terms of the number of controllers, the
speed at which they communicate, and the number of parameters
available, they are a virtual goldmine for the test engineer. If the data
is already available on the vehicle network, the engineer may only need
to add any missing sensors (or possibly none at all). After reviewing the
traditional approach of acquiring data directly from sensors, the course
will focus on the newer approach of obtaining data from the in-vehicle
network. Attention is given to the complications of taking data from
the in-vehicle network and how to overcome them, current trends
and applications, wireless data acquisition (Wi-Fi and cellular), GPS,
relevant technical standards, and how to simultaneously acquire net-
work data with direct sensor measurements. Both PC-based and logger
(flight recorder) data acquisition will also be covered. In addition, a
practical guide for analysis and presentation techniques will be covered
along with examples.

i.D.#C0525
The advent of digital computers and the availability of ever cheaper
and faster micro processors have brought a tremendous amount of
control system applications to the automotive industry in the last two
decades. From engine and transmission systems, to virtually all chassis
subsystems (brakes, suspensions, and steering), some level of computer
control is present. Control systems theory is also being applied to com-
fort systems such as climate control and safety systems such as cruise
control or collision mitigation systems. This seminar begins by intro-
ducing the highly mathematical field of control systems focusing on
what the classical control system tools do and how they can be applied
to automotive systems. Dynamic systems, time/frequency responses,
and stability margins are presented in an easy to understand format.
Utilizing Matlab and Simulink, students will learn how simple com-
puter models are generated. Other fundamental techniques in control
design such as PID and lead-lag compensators will be presented as
well as the basics of embedded control systems. During this interactive

Design for manufacturing &
assembly (Dfm/Dfa)
May 5-6, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#92047
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM+A), pioneered by
Boothroyd and Dewhurst, has been used by many companies around
the world to develop creative product designs that use optimal manu-
facturing and assembly processes. Correctly applied, DFM+A analysis
leads to significant reductions in production cost, without compromis-
ing product time-to-market goals, functionality, quality, serviceability,
or other attributes. In this two-day seminar, you will not only learn
the Boothroyd Dewhurst Method, you will actually apply it to your
own product design! This seminar will include information on how
DFM+A fits in with QFD, concurrent engineering, robust engineering,
and other disciplines. In addition, there will be a brief demonstration
of computer software tools, which simplify the DFM+A analysis.
Each participant will receive and use the hard-bound authoritative ref-
erence textbook, Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly, written
by Geoffrey Boothroyd, Peter Dewhurst and Winston Knight.

Design reviews for effective
Product Development
October 29, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#C0004
Design reviews are required for ISO 9001:2000 compliance and com-
patible automotive and aerospace specifications. They are becoming
increasingly important in product liability litigation and are accepted as
a cost-effective best practice and an effective application of knowledge
management, valuable for accelerating the maturity of new products.
This seminar describes how formal design reviews can improve prod-
ucts by uncovering potential problems before they are discovered at a
later stage of development or application, when the costs of correction
are much higher. A broad range of effective techniques for organizing
and conducting design reviews will be presented. Specific guidance and
tools to assist attendees in structuring design reviews tailored to their
own company, specification, or contract requirements will also be pro-
vided. Material covered will be applicable to all types of development
programs, ranging from components to complete vehicles, and for both
OEMs and suppliers.

finite element analysis for Design
engineers - Hands-on fea
Workshop
November 22-23, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#93006
The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been widely implemented by
automotive companies and is now used by design engineers as a design
tool during the product development process. Design engineers analyze
their own designs while they are still in the form of easily modifi-
able CAD models to allow for quick turnaround times and to ensure
prompt implementation of analysis results in the design process. When
used properly, the FEA becomes a tremendous productivity tool help-
ing design engineers reduce product development time and cost. On
the contrary, misapplication of FEA may lead to erroneous design deci-
sions, which are very expensive to correct later in the design process.
This seminar provides design engineers with skills necessary for proper
use of FEA in the design process and to ensure that this powerful tool
is implemented in the most efficient and productive way.
The seminar offers hands-on exercises focusing on the analysis of FEA
errors and proper modeling techniques. Attendees study different types
of analyses typically performed by design engineers, discuss common
misconceptions and traps in the FEA and review Implementation of
Management of FEA in the design environment. The seminar provides
opportunities to discuss and exchange FEA experiences. The seminar
layout allows for some customization so problems of particular interest
to students can be discussed in class.
All topics are illustrated by hands-on examples using FEA software
SolidWorks Simulation. However, acquired skills are not software spe-
cific and no prior exposure to any FEA software is required.
The SAE book, Finite Element Analysis for Design Engineers, by Paul
Kurowski is included in the course materials.

fundamentals of Hybrid electric
Vehicles
December 6-8, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#C0511
One of the fastest growing automotive fields, hybrid electric vehicles
(HEVs), presents both opportunities and challenges. HEVs are more
fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly compared to conventional
vehicles. Optimizing the power intake in HEVs allows the engine
operation to be kept within the range designed for best fuel economy
and lowest emission, while the motor/generator system either provides
additional power input, or generates electricity using the excessive
power from the engine. It also recovers the kinetic energy during brak-
ing or coasting. These advantages have attracted worldwide develop-
ment interests for HEVs in the automotive industry. Global sales of
hybrid vehicles continue to grow and experts predict that 38 models
will be available by 2011. The challenges presented in HEVs include
power electronics, electric motors and generators, batteries, power
management, thermal management, and system integration. Additional
challenges related to after-sales issues include reliability, gracefully
degradable operation, and servicing. This three-day seminar will cover
the fundamentals of HEV. In an easy-to-understand format, the course
will explain the engineering philosophy of HEVs, the component
selection and design, modeling, and control of HEVs. Some existing
HEV models such as the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic, Mercury Mariner,
Saturn VUE and Camry will be used as case studies.

High Performance engine Design
and Development
i.D.#C0725
Ever since Beau de Rochas patented the four stroke cycle in 1862, engi-
neers have pursued the development of high performance engines for
road and racing applications at an accelerated pace. While this course
will not cover such ancient history, it will focus on engine design and
development advances over the last 40 years from BC to AD (Before
Cosworth to After Duckworth), covering the concepts and designs
behind the modern racing engines for series including Formula One,
Indy Cars, the IRL, and NASCAR. This course will help you determine
how to design a championship-winning racing engine including many
of the key calculations that support the pursuit of power. Attention
to detail on every aspect of engine design is emphasized with focus on
applying simple math, physics, and even plain old common sense, rather
than relying heavily on sophisticated software. The course begins with a
review of the major advances in engine design , then explores the design
of the engines primary systems and structures including oil systems, cam
drive systems, water systems, inlet systems, exhaust systems, cylinder
heads, cylinder blocks, and sumps. It will then explore how combustion
works and how to analyze the major parameters involved in burning dif-
ferent fuels. This will be followed by the design and optimization of inlet
and exhaust systems and applying mathematics via simple excel spread
sheets to determine the key factors for cam design, port design, inlet
and exhaust tuning, and turbocharger / supercharger matching for those
formulae that permit the use of boost to increase the inlet pressure. The
day concludes with a discussion and opportunities to continue design
exercises that will allow attendees to put into practice several of the key
concepts learned throughout the seminar. Detailed course notes and
illustrations are provided along with example calculations to enable the
attendee to calculate the key parameters required in the design and devel-
opment of racing engines.

also be introduced to software used to predict vehicle performance.
The course begins with a discussion of the road load forces that act on
the automobile (aerodynamic, rolling resistance, and gravitational) fol-
lowed by a review of pertinent engine characteristics. This background
information is then used to show how appropriate gear ratios for a
vehicle transmission are selected and to develop models for predict-
ing acceleration performance and fuel economy. The models form the
basis for the computer software used to predict vehicle performance.
Participants will also use an in-vehicle accelerometer, GPS fifth-wheel,
and an OBDII scanner to measure vehicle performance.

Hybrids, and to a lesser extent, electric vehicles, have been on the road
since 1997. Although just two hybrids were on the market in 2001, there
are more than a dozen today, and the market is ramping up quickly,
driven by fuel prices and constraints, environmental regulations, and cus-
tomer demand. The commercial vehicle market is also rapidly embracing
hybrid technology. This two-hour webinar will highlight the passenger,
light-duty, and heavy-duty hybrid and electric vehicles that are currently
in production, offered for sale, or planned for near-term production.
Asian, European, and North American manufacturers of hybrid and
electric vehicles will be reviewed. Tier 1 suppliers of major hybrid and
electric vehicle components will be covered as well.
introduction to Hybrid
Powertrains Webinar
i.D.#C0903
Although hybrid powertrains have been on the market for little more
than a decade, hybridization has quickly become one of the most suc-
cessful alternative powertrains available today. Some OEMs estimate
that up to 80% of their light-duty vehicles will require some level
of hybridization to meet upcoming CAFE regulations in the United
States. Additional market drivers, such as Californias greenhouse
gas legislation (now adopted or in process in 20 US states and two
Canadian provinces) and a possible global agreement on greenhouse
gas production at the end of 2009 may help to accelerate the process.
Basic information on hybrids is scattered among information sources,
and is often difficult to synthesize. In this two-hour webinar, energy
storage systems, inverters, motor-generators, and DC-DC converters
are explained, as well as design considerations for both light-duty and
heavy-duty vehicle powertrains and developing trends such as plug-in,
flywheel and hydraulic hybrids.

November 9-11, 2010
Session 1 - November 9 (11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. ET)
Session 2 - November 11 (11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. ET
i.D.#Wb1018
Turbocharging is already a key part of heavy duty diesel engine tech-
nology. However, the need to meet emissions regulations is rapidly
driving the use of turbo diesel and turbo gasoline engines for passen-
ger vehicles. Turbocharged diesel engines improve the fuel economy
of baseline gasoline engine powered passenger vehicles by 30-50%.
Turbocharging is critical for diesel engine performance and for emis-
sions control through a well designed exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
system. In gasoline engines, turbocharging enables downsizing which
improves fuel economy by 5-20%.
This webinar will explore turbocharging for gasoline and diesel (heavy
and light duty) engines, including the fundamentals of turbocharging,
design features, performance measures, and matching and selection cri-
teria. It will discuss the interaction between turbocharging and engine
systems and the impact on performance, fuel economy and emissions.
Developments in turbocharging technology such as variable geometry
mechanisms, two-stage and sequential (series & parallel) turbocharg-
ing, EGR including low pressure loop, high pressure loop and mixed
mode systems and novel turbocharging systems will be described using
figures and data.

turbocharging internal Combustion
engines
October 4-6, 2010 -- Rosemont, IL, USA
i.D.#C0314
The need to control emissions and maintain fuel economy is driving the
use of advanced turbocharging technology in both diesel and gasoline
engines. As the use of diesel engines in passenger car gasoline and diesel
engines increases, a greater focus on advanced turbocharging technology
is emerging in an effort to reap the benefits obtained from turbocharging
and engine downsizing. This seminar covers the basic concepts of turbo-
charging of gasoline and diesel engines (light and heavy duty), includ-
ing turbocharger matching and charge air and EGR cooling, as well as
associated controls. The limitations and future possibilities of todays
systems will be covered, as well as details on how emerging technologies
will impact engine/vehicle performance. The seminars primary focus is
on the turbocharger-engine interface (subjects such as matching, benefits,
limitations, and new technologies) rather than detailed turbocharger
aerodynamics and design. Advanced technologies such as variable geom-
etry and multi-stage turbocharging, high and low pressure loop EGR
systems, assisted turbocharging and turbocompounding are discussed.
Students will have the opportunity to perform hands-on exercises to gain
an appreciation of parametric effects in a wide range of engines.
**Participants are expected to bring a laptop computer, with Excel, to
the seminar for class exercises.

selective Catalytic reduction for
Diesel engines
July 12-13, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#C0913
Stringent requirements of reduced NOx emission limits in the US
have presented engineers and technical staff with numerous challenges.
Several in-cylinder technical solutions have been developed for diesel
engines to meet 2010 emission standards. These technologies have been
optimized and have yielded impressive engine-out results in their abil-
ity to reduce emissions to extremely low levels. However, current and
state-of-the-art in-cylinder solutions have fallen short of achieving the
limits imposed on diesel emissions for 2010. To help meet emissions
requirements, the catalyst industry has developed exhaust emission
reduction technologies with impressive levels of performance. These
technologies include hydrocarbon selective catalytic reduction (SCR),
NOx absorber catalysts, and urea SCR. This seminar will begin with
an explanation of NOx formation in diesel engines and in-cylinder
methods for reducing these emissions. The aftertreatment systems for
NOx reduction will be explained and the advantages and disadvantages
of these emission reduction technologies will be discussed. In this two-
day seminar, the primary focus is on urea SCR and its technology will
be fully examined. The important chemical reactions and methods for
improving SCR performance by encouraging desirable reactions and
avoiding undesirable reactions are explained. Additionally, the compo-
nents and control of a urea SCR system are detailed and the necessary
sensors for its control are described. The SAE paper, Laboratory Testing
of Urea-SCR Formulations to Meet Tier 2 Bin 5 Emissions, is included
in the course materials.

fresh air into the once-dismal arena of automotive emissions by reduc-
ing the hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen by over
90%! This seminar explores the development of catalytic converters and
the key inventions that made them viable, along with recent advances
in converter technology required to meet stringent emissions regulations
for both light-off and underbody converters. Applications of converter
design to gasoline-powered cars, trucks and motorcycles will be pre-
sented. Also covered in this seminar are the durability and performance
characteristics of both ceramic and metallic catalyst supports and certain
design tools that help optimize the converter performance.
Attendees will receive a copy of Ron Hecks book, Catalytic Air

evaporative and refueling emission
Control
i.D.#C0928
All gasoline powered vehicles and equipment create exhaust and evapora-
tive and refueling emissions. Unlike exhaust emissions, which occur only
when the engine is operating, evaporative emissions (evap emissions) occur
all the time. Controlling evap emissions to PZEV levels is as challeng-
ing as controlling exhaust emissions. It becomes even more important in
the case of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and extended range
electric vehicles (EREV) which generate evaporative fuel vapors, but have
no place to burn/consume the vapors when the engine does not operate
for extended periods of time. Constantly changing evaporative regulations
including new test procedures for accommodating future EREVs and
PHEVs vehicle evap systems, new test fuels to reflect changing commercial
gasolines, identifying and controlling new sources of fuel vapor emissions,
etc., require that individuals working in this area have a solid understand-
ing of both regulatory and system design issues for evap emissions control.
This comprehensive seminar introduces the participants to the principles
of gasoline evaporative fuel vapor generation (diurnal, hot soak, running
loss, and refueling) from the vehicle fuel tank, fuel vapor storage in acti-
vated carbon canisters, and fuel vapor desorption and consumption in
engine combustion. The seminar begins with an analysis of gasoline and
gasoline/ethanol blends and estimation of their vapor pressures and vapor
generation. In-depth analysis of various vapor generations as a function of
fuel properties (ethanol content, Reid Vapor Pressure, etc.) and ambient
conditions will be presented. Activated carbon canister design, OBD II
leak detection, hydrocarbon permeation, and CARB and EPA evaporative
test procedures will also be covered. Participants will have the opportunity
to apply the knowledge gained by designing a sample evaporative and refu-
eling emissions control system in class.
Participants are asked to bring a calculator for use in classroom exercises.

ate amount of fuel to power the engine. These stringent requirements
necessitate a basic understanding of the subsystem working principles,
functionalities and interrelated components.
This course provides a basic yet thorough examination of techni-
cal issues involved in automotive gasoline and diesel fuel delivery.
Participants will acquire a fundamental understanding of the current
technology and requirement guidelines and apply some of the prin-
ciples through an in-class project and exercises. Examples of frequently
encountered technical issues of fuel delivery systems shall also be dis-
cussed. The course is designed to encourage discussion, insights, and
possible solutions into the engineering problems encountered in the
gasoline and diesel fuel delivery systems and components.

i.D.#Wb0940
In todays economic environment, patents have become an increas-
ingly important asset for both individuals and corporations. More and
more, individuals and corporations, including those in the automotive
and aerospace industries, are recognizing that revenue can be gener-
ated from their patent rights, whether those rights consist of a single
patent, a family of patents or an entire portfolio. Indeed, some com-
panies do not make or sell products; their entire revenue is derived
from the licensing of their patents. Suffice it to say, licensing revenue
has become a significant source of value in the global intellectual
property economy. This webinar will tell you what you need to know
about U.S. patent litigation and will provide in-depth insights into the
practical realities of patent disputes in the U.S. You will learn whats
involved in a patent case, including the issues that the patent owner
has to prove, e.g. infringement, and the issues the accused infringer has
to prove, e.g., invalidity. You will increase your awareness of the role
of the judge and the jury in patent cases and you will hear about the
increasing use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as
mediation, to resolve patent disputes. Among other topics, this course
also will increase your appreciation for the time it typically takes to go
from the filing of a case to trial, and the fees and expenses associated

advanced High strength steels for
Vehicle Weight reduction
i.D.#C0916
Growing environmental awareness, the need for more fuel efficient
vehicles, and safety performance are driving vehicle manufacturers to
explore new innovations in Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS).
The body of a modern passenger car constitutes approximately 40%
of the total vehicle weight and the chassis frame constitutes up to 25%
of the total weight, demonstrating a significant opportunity for overall
vehicle weight reduction. Advanced High Strength Steels have only
recently been applied to vehicle design and usage, but predictions have
been made that future vehicles (i.e., 10 years out) could be using great-
er than 50% AHSS for up to a 25% weight advantage at equal or less
cost, versus current body and chassis structures. This seminar will focus
on identifying appropriate applications of AHSS in the body and chas-
sis for vehicle weight reduction. Recent steel applications will be pre-
sented, including factors which contributed to the appropriateness of
using Advanced High Strength Steel versus mild steels or Conventional
High Strength Steels (CHSS). Advantages of AHSS, as well as obstacles
that may impede its use will be covered. Relative performance of alter-
nate materials for weight reduction, particularly aluminum alloys, will
be explored. A number of examples from industry will be presented
to demonstrate the types of analyses which will have to be performed
to lead to successful applications of AHSS. Extensive reference will be
made to advanced analysis and testing methods without going into the
details of the methodology. Finally, a future roadmap of AHSS applica-
tions will be presented.

fundamentals of metal fatigue
analysis
July 26-28, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#94024
There is a potential for metal fatigue in any situation where a compo-
nent is subjected to cyclic loads. Fatigue failures of various types are a
key concern in increasing the reliability of products. Problems involving
fatigue have become more severe with the demand for lighter weight
structures and components. The effective use of fatigue analysis and
predictive tools is critical for reducing the development time of new
products. Two methods of metal fatigue analysis will be covered. The
first is the stress-life approach. This method is used for high cycle or
very long life fatigue problems where loads have fairly constant ampli-
tude. Applications of this method include engine components, gears
and shafts. The second method is the strain life approach, which is used
for cases involving low cycle fatigue where loads may have a variable
amplitude. Applications of this method include suspension and chassis
components. The strain-life approach is also more useful when deal-
ing with non-ferrous alloys. Other key topics to be addressed include
residual stress, shot peening, cycle counting methods and environmental
effects. Extensive use of example problems and case studies will be used.
The overall objective of the course is for participants to gain an under-
standing of the phenomenon of metal fatigue and most importantly
learn what methods are available to predict and prevent failures.

Vibration analysis using fea:
a Hands-on Workshop
i.D.#C0830
FEA has been used by engineers as a design tool in new product devel-
opment since the early 1990s. Until recently, most FEA applications
have been limited to static analysis due to the cost and complexity of
advanced types of analyses. Progress in the commercial FEA software
and in computing hardware has now made it practical to use advanced
types as an every day design tool of design engineers. In addition, com-
petitive pressures and quality requirements demand a more in-depth
understanding of product behavior under real life loading conditions.
This seminar introduces one of the advanced types of FEA: vibration
analysis. By considering time dependent loads and inertial effects,
vibration analysis allows for a more in-depth product simulation thus
reducing product development cost and time. The course reviews basic
concepts of vibration analysis and illustrates how they are implemented
in FEA to simulate product behavior. The most common types of
vibration analysis such as modal, time response, frequency response
and random vibrations are covered. Participants will have the oppor-
tunity to practice skills learned utilizing the commercial FEA software

side impact occupant
safety and Cae
i.D.#C0717
Side impact crashes account for approximately twenty-four percent of
all motor vehicle fatal crashes, second only to frontal crashes, according
to a 2005 report by the National Highway Transportation and Safety
Administration (NHTSA). While car companies and suppliers continue
to develop new technologies that make vehicles safer, NHTSA is also
updating safety regulations (FMVSS 214) based on new research stud-
ies, making vehicle safety design more and more complex. This seminar
is designed to familiarize participants with the engineering principles
behind vehicle and restraint designs for occupant safety. Students will
learn the mechanics of side crashes and how vehicle structures, restraint
systems, and interiors affect occupant safety. Students will also be
exposed to system, subsystem and component level CAE and testing
tools used in the simulation of side impacts. Accident crash statistics,
biomechanics, government regulations and public domain frontal safety
tests will also be covered. A combination of hands-on activities, includ-
ing computer simulations, discussion, and lecture are used throughout
the course.

Vehicle frontal Crash
occupant safety and Cae
i.D.#C0621
According to the National Highway Transportation and Safety
Administration (NHTSA), a total of 43,200 people lost their lives and
2.7 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes in 2005. Car
companies and suppliers continue to develop new technologies that
make vehicles safer. NHTSA is also updating safety regulations based
on new research studies, making vehicle safety design more and more
complex. The new FMVSS 208, for example, more than tripled the
number of test modes, while adding a 5th percentile female dummy
and more injury metrics. Frontal crashes happen more frequently com-
pared with other crash modes such as side and rear crashes. This semi-
nar covers the mechanics of frontal crashes and how vehicle structures,
vehicle restraint systems, and vehicle interiors affect occupant safety.
It also describes details of how CAE tools work in the simulation of
frontal crashes. The goal of the course is to familiarize participants with
engineering principles behind vehicle and restraint designs for occupant
safety. Accident crash statistics, biomechanics, government regulations
and public domain frontal safety tests will be reviewed briefly. Students
will also be exposed to Madymo, one of the major occupant CAE tools.
The basic inner workings of the tool, such as rigid body dynamics,
joints, contact, airbag and seatbelt modeling, and modeling techniques
will be shared with the class. The class also offers participants opportu-
nities to do hands-on computer analysis as well as simplified hands-on
crash tests, where students can learn first-hand how vehicle pulses and
restraint design affect occupant response.

Vehicle accident
reconstruction methods
i.D.#C0416
Automotive accident reconstruction is a process carried out with the
specific purpose of estimating in both a qualitative and quantitative
manner how an accident occurred. Reconstructions are based on physi-
cal data and physical evidence gathered during an accident investiga-
tion. To some extent, testimonial evidence is also used. Whether a crash
is between two vehicles, a vehicle and pedestrian or a vehicle and a
barrier, specific accident components, classified as pre-impact, impact
and post-impact motion often are studied separately. Each of the com-
ponents is analyzed using established engineering, scientific and math-
ematical principles and based on the physical evidence. Not only must
each method be well established, but it must be selected so its coverage
corresponds to the conditions of the physical problem. Three main fac-
tors, human, vehicle and environment must also be taken into account
during a reconstruction.
This seminar is devoted to the exposition, use and limitations of the
engineering, scientific and mathematical principles and methods used
to reconstruct vehicular accidents. The primary objective is to help
the attendees achieve a high level of understanding of these methods.
The course covers a wide range of topics including uncertainty, impact
mechanics, tire mechanics, vehicle-pedestrian impacts and vehicle
dynamics. Most of the calculations can be carried out using commonly
available spreadsheet technology suitable for personal computer use.
Attendees will receive a copy of the instructors book, Vehicle Accident
Analysis and Reconstruction Methods, published by SAE International.

automotive Powertrain and
battery Cooling airflow systems:
a Vehicle Perspective
July 15-16, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#C0616
Designing more fuel efficient vehicles requires that considerations be
given to the thermal management requirements of vehicle propulsion
systems. Exterior appearance, vehicle function, and thermal limits all
have a direct impact on the design of the cooling airflow system. For
hybrid and all-electric vehicles, batteries and thermal management pres-
ent unique integration challenges. To address these challenges, suppliers
and vehicle manufacturers must work as partners in the selection and
packaging of batteries and under-hood cooling components. Critical
to a successful design effort is a thorough understanding of the vehicle-
level trade-offs and cooling issues that affect system performance. This
two-day seminar will provide attendees a vehicle-level perspective of
powertrain and battery cooling airflow systems, including the unique
challenges of hybrid and electric vehicles. Product design constraints
related to front-end, batteries, and under-hood components will be
discussed. Special emphasis will be placed on the numerous battery
integration issues and thermal management characteristics. A lumped
capacitance model will be used to pull together battery thermal analysis
concepts and the trade-off with energy required for cooling. Attendees
will also learn about cooling airflow (fan & ram), fan design parameters,
grille openings, thermal recirculation, system resistance, cooling drag,
powertrain heat rejection, and battery thermal characteristics and heat
generation rate. The radiator heat transfer equation will be used to
describe the influence of vehicle-level and subsystem requirements on
powertrain cooling.
Case studies will be used to reinforce concepts and attendees should
bring a calculator for these in-class activities.

i.D.#Wb1003
Dual-clutch technology is an extension of manual transmission tech-
nology that has been in the automotive industry since its inception
over 100 years ago. However, newly combined technologies of con-
rols and actuation functions allow for many improvements over the
operation of a simple manual transmission. Combination of these
technologies affords the ability to operate a manual transmission with
the same and effortlessness of an automatic transmission. The newly
afforded automated control can almost rival the seamless function of
a CVT. Dual-clutch technology also provides a means to capitalize on
the installed manufacturing and service base of current production
transmissions; and does not require the OEM, the supplier, or the
service technician to learn a new technology and/or tool-up for either
the manufacture or service of a new product. This webinar will provide
those with a basic understanding of automotive transmission technol-
ogy and components the fundamentals of dual-clutch technology, its
application, and its significance as it applies to improvements in all
facets of an automotive powertrain. Further, the webinar will explore
the versatility and operator satisfaction that vehicles equipped with
dual-clutch systems can provide.

operation and components the fundamentals of continuously variable
transmission technology, its application to the automotive marketplace,
and the significance of this technology as it applies to improvements in
powertrain efficiency and affectivity. You will also receive insights into
the various types of CVT systems, review their relative differences from
a theory of operation point of view, and as a function of their core
components. Further, Dr. McVea will explore the versatility and opera-
tor satisfaction that vehicles equipped with CVT systems can provide
as well as some of the limitations to the core technology and limits on

May 24-26, 2010 -- Troy, MI, USA
i.D.#C0415
This interactive seminar will take you beyond the basics of passenger
car and light truck vehicle dynamics by applying advanced theory,
physical tests and CAE to the assessment of ride, braking, steering and
handling performance. Governing state-space equations with transfer
functions for primary ride and open loop handling will be developed
& analyzed. Building on the analysis of the state space equations, com-
mon physical tests and their corresponding CAE solutions for steady
state and transient vehicle events will be presented. The state-of-the-
art of vehicle dynamics CAE will be discussed. Common lab and
vehicle tests and corresponding metrics used to assess chassis system
and vehicle performance will be discussed in great detail. Hands-
on workshops using CARSIM™ vehicle dynamics simulation
software will help reinforce the material. Significant time will also be
dedicated to the use of design of experiments (DOE) as a tool to assist
in the analysis and optimization of chassis systems for multiple vehicle
responses. Participants should bring a scientific calculator to participate
in the classroom workshops.

November 15-17, 2010 -- Greer, SC, USA
i.D.#C0414
While a variety of new engineering tools are becoming available to
assist in creating optimal vehicle designs, subjective evaluation of
vehicle behavior is still a vital tool to ensure desired braking, handling,
and other dynamic response characteristics. In order to better prepare
todays engineer for this task, this course offers twelve modules devoted
to the key fundamental principles associated with longitudinal and
lateral vehicle dynamics. Each focused classroom session is paired with
an on-track exercise to immediately reinforce these concepts with a
dedicated behind-the-wheel driving session, effectively illustrating these
principles in the real world.
Note that unlike most driving schools, this course is not designed to
train performance drivers. Rather, the exercises on days one and two
build the bridge between vehicle dynamics theory and practical appli-
cation by providing a rich academic underpinning and then reinforcing
it with highly focused and relevant driving experiences. Significant
technical skill-building is provided on day three, with increased
instructor supervised track time to further absorb the principles learned
on days one and two. If your job description does require performance
driving skills, the dynamic exercises on day three will lay a solid foun-
dation on which you can independently refine your own skills.
This course is offered at the BMW Performance Center in Greer,
South Carolina (near Greenville). Driving exercises are conducted on
a closed circuit and skidpad using primarily BMW 3-series sedans
and other BMW vehicles for comparison exercises. Vehicles are also
equipped with Escort G-Timer devices for basic data acquisition.

fundamentals of
Heavy truck Dynamics
i.D.#C0837
Understanding vehicle dynamics is one of the critical issues in the
design of all vehicles, including heavy trucks. This seminar provides
a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of heavy truck
dynamics. It covers all of the critical subsystems that must be consid-
ered by designers and decision makers in determining the effect of vari-
ous components on heavy truck dynamics. This seminar begins where
the tires meet the ground, progressing up through the various com-
ponents and bringing together the theory and practice of heavy truck
dynamics. A series of case studies related to truck ride engineering will
provide an opportunity for attendees to demonstrate their knowledge
gained and introduces them to some of the newer technologies related
to evaluating and improving heavy truck ride dynamics.
Instructor: Mehdi Ahmadian
Fee $1,495; SAE Mbrs. $1,345 2.0 CEUs
Vehicle Dynamics for Passenger
Cars and Light trucks
i.D.#99020
This seminar will present an introduction to Vehicle Dynamics from a
vehicle system perspective. The theory and applications are associated
with the interaction and performance balance between the powertrain,
brakes, steering, suspensions and wheel and tire vehicle subsystems.
The role that vehicle dynamics can and should play in effective auto-
motive chassis development and the information and technology
flow from vehicle system to subsystem to piece-part is integrated into
the presentation. Governing equations of motion are developed and
solved for both steady and transient conditions. Manual and computer
techniques for analysis and evaluation are presented. Vehicle system
dynamic performance in the areas of drive-off, braking, directional
control and rollover is emphasized. The dynamics of the powertrain,
brakes, steering, suspension and wheel and tire subsystems and their
interactions are examined along with the important role of structure
and structural parameters related to vehicle dynamics. Physical experi-
ments, applicable to vehicle dynamics are also introduced.
Attendees will receive the Bosch Automotive Handbook and The
Automotive Chassis: Engineering Principles by Reimpell, Stoll and Betzler.
