Reducing The Cost Of Multi-Material Lightweight Joining & Forming: Created Specifically For The Manufacturing Job Functions
REDUCING COSTS. REDUCING CYCLE TIME. JOINING MIXED MATERIAL IN HIGH VOLUME.
Regardless of how different the vehicle design is, how advanced the manufacturing plant is and how large the budget is, every large scale OEM in the US, Europe and Asia is working towards every single one of these goals.
Every OEM is researching and testing and piloting to figure out three key things:
Which joining and forming techniques deliver the highest performance at the lowest costs on different advanced lightweight materials
In which parts of the vehicle can these techniques be most cost effectively applied
How can they be implemented quickly and cost effectively into the production line
Everyone has their own answers, but with technology and understanding advancing at break neck speed each year, what was the best today is rarely the best tomorrow.
THE US-WIDE WEIGHT REDUCTION DRIVE ADVANCES AT PACE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are issuing final rules to extend the National Program to further reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve fuel economy for model years 2017 through 2025 light-duty vehicles. These are projected to result in an average industry fleet wide level of 163 grams/mile of carbon dioxide (CO2) in model year 2025 (equivalent to 54.5 mpg vs. 29 mpg in 2013). With these regulations in place, OEMs are under increasing pressure to further explore all possible methods and strategies that will help ensure these stringent standards are cost effectively met. OEMs have ranked "meeting of the fuel efficiency and emission targets" as the top challenge that they presently face.
THE INTEGRAL OEM-LED JOINING AND FORMING KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE RETURNS TO DETROIT - 2ND YEAR RUNNING
After resounding success in its launch year, Lightweight Vehicle Manufacturing: Joining & Forming Focus 2015 is returning in its second year to equip joining, forming and manufacturing engineering professionals with the very latest case-study based knowledge and shared advanced practices. The carefully selected expert OEM speakers will critically inform delegates about selecting the most suitable methods for joining and forming parts and components made from mixed materials, and how to efficiently and cost-effectively introduce them into the assembly lines.
This document provides information about a seminar on surface engineering in the automotive and aerospace industries taking place on 9 June 2015 at the University of Leeds. The seminar will feature presentations from academic experts and industry representatives on topics such as surface treatments for turbomachinery components, lubricant formulations, trends in boundary lubrication, and plasma electrolytic oxidation for surface treatments. The day-long event will include keynote speeches, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. Sponsorship opportunities are also advertised to exhibitors interested in promoting their products and services to the automotive and aerospace industries.
This document summarizes a bachelor's thesis that analyzes how additive manufacturing (3D printing) could impact the after-sales services supply chain at Fokker Services B.V. The author identifies four key areas where 3D printing could help reduce costs: 1) addressing obsolescence issues when original parts are no longer available, 2) providing a lower-cost production alternative for some spare parts, 3) enabling part consolidation through redesign, and 4) potentially allowing for decentralization if airline operators invest in 3D printing. A data model is used to identify 235 spare parts that could benefit from 3D printing. Further analysis of 15 parts found 4 that are suitable for 3D printing and likely to provide cost savings
IRJET- Study of Supplier Evaluation and Development Practices in Supply Chain...IRJET Journal
This document discusses supplier evaluation and development practices in the construction industry supply chain. It begins with an abstract that outlines the purpose of studying supplier evaluation methods and selection issues. It then provides background on the importance of materials procurement in construction projects. The introduction defines supply chain management and discusses the key role that suppliers play. It indicates that while supplier evaluation is common in manufacturing, it is less developed in the construction industry. The problem statement reviews research on supply chain management and the construction supply chain to understand current practices and barriers to effective supplier evaluation.
This document summarizes a report on developing a total cost model for additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing. It conducted experiments using laser sintering (LS) and selective laser melting (SLM) to understand build failure rates, manual post-processing costs, and how costs decrease with higher machine utilization. The results provide a methodology to analyze the full economic costs of AM and understand when it may have a viable business case compared to traditional manufacturing.

The deformation from a collision between two moving cars was found to be the greatest, while impact with a static wall caused the least deformation. Previous studies on crashworthiness analysis using various materials and collision scenarios are also reviewed.

IRJET- A Study on the Behavior of Grid Slab Subjected to Seismic LoadingIRJET Journal
This document discusses multi-cornered thin-wall sections for improving vehicle crashworthiness and occupant protection. It analyzes the collapse behavior of square, hexagonal, and octagonal cross-sections as well as a newly introduced 12-edge section through computer simulations.

Nonlinear finite element analysis was performed using ABAQUS to evaluate the response of the different section geometries under axial loading and over a range of steel grades. The goal was to maximize the specific energy absorption of the cross-sections to better manage crash energy and improve occupant safety.

This document discusses multi-cornered thin-wall sections for improving vehicle crashworthiness and occupant protection. It analyzes the collapse behavior of square, hexagonal, and octagonal cross-sections as well as a newly introduced 12-edge section through computer simulations. The 12-edge section was found to have high energy absorption capacity through stable collapse. Nonlinear finite element analysis was performed using ABAQUS to evaluate the response of the different section geometries under axial loading and over a range of steel grades. The goal was to maximize the specific energy absorption of the cross-sections to better manage crash energy and improve occupant safety.

Structural Damage and Maintenance Day 1tti-sharmila
The aim of this presentation is to provide a consistent test/fail guideline for light and heavy vehicle inspections that are in line with the RTA Guide.
Cutting Aerospace Validation Costs in Half Using Computational TestingSentient Science
This document discusses the benefits of computational testing for validating new designs and modifications in the aerospace industry. Computational testing allows companies to rapidly test designs under a wide range of conditions at a much lower cost than physical testing. It enables hundreds of tests to be run virtually in days rather than waiting months for individual physical tests. Computational testing can reduce qualification costs, accelerate product development timelines, and expand the range of conditions that can be validated to help optimize designs.
