Day 3 - Morning Session
Powertrain Development
09.30
Lightweight metal matrix composites with tailored textile engineering for
automotive applications
University of Stuttgart, IMTCCC – Professor Rainer Gadow |
|
| |
|
09.55
Lighter and leaner – what powder metallurgy technologies can do for you
IWM RWTH Aachen – Professor Paul Beiss |
|
| |
|
10.20
Multibody dynamics simulation with Abaqus from SIMULIA
Abaqus Deutschland GmbH – Dr Martin Kuessner, general manager |
|
| |
|
10.45
New lightweight powertrain and transmission components – Vyncolit
engineering polymers for engine performance enhancement
Vyncolit Sumitomo Bakelite – Jenne De Rijcke, project/program manager |
|
| |
|
Cleaner Castings
11.10
Revolutionary rapid tool-less castings: castings that exhibit production
properties but allow complete design freedom where costly tooling
prevents consecutive changes. Time from design to component is days
rather than weeks
Global TCT – Kevin Smith, director |
|
| |
|
11.35
Cutting costs, improving quality and reducing emissions by innovative
technology to stir the solidifying metal in aluminum GDC castings of
automotive parts with rotating plasma arc
Neatnya Plasmatec Ltd – Dan Yardeni - Partner and Chairman & Dr. Ginat Muginstein – R&D and Process
Manager. |
|
| |
|
12.00
Rapid casting development by means of Qualified Master Casting (QMC)
and numerical simulation modeling
Grunewald GmbH & Co KG – Joachim Gundlach, sales management |
|
| |
|
Variable Valve Timings
12.25
Pneumatic valve actuation – a key to camless engines, pneumatic hybrids,
exhaust heat regeneration and internal cooling
Cargine Engineering AB – Urban Carlson, consultant engineer |
|
| |
|
12.50
A solution for the idling problem of the known throttle-less VVAs,
mechanical VVAs with independently variable lift and duration, mechanical
VVAs without valve springs (desmodromic) for racing engines
Pattakon – Emmanouel Pattakos, engineer |
