International Conference on Statistics and Analytical Methods in Automotive Engineering

Book excerpt: These IMechE conference transactions examine how major improvements have been made in product delivery processes by the effective use of both statistical and analytical methods, as well as examining the problems that can occur as a result of under utilization of information. This volume will be of great interest to managers, engineers, and statisticians at all levels, engaged in project management or the design and development of motor vehicles, their subsystems, and components. CONTENTS INCLUDE Applications of advanced modelling methods in engine development Application of adaptive online DoE techniques for engine ECU calibration Radial basis functions for engine modelling Designing for Six Sigma reliability Dimensional variation analysis for automotive hybrid aluminium body structures Reliability-based multidisciplinary design optimization of vehicle structures
