Modeling and control of engines and drivelines

Description

A reference guide to modeling, analysis, and control of engines and drivelines for engineers and an introduction for students in the areas of modeling, analysis, and control of engines and drivelines; Covers the basic dynamics of internal combustion engines and drivelines; Discusses the goals that engine control design system aims for, and how these targets can be achieved; Provides a set of standard models and includes examples and case studies; Includes an overview of hybrid vehicles and powertrains. The aim of the book is to provide a set of standard models and serve as a reference material for engineers in the field. Highlights the interplay between the engine and driveline systems, and the integration between systems that is needed for successfully engineering a complete vehicle powertrain. In addition it also emphasises that systems should be designed such that they can be maintained and diagnosed over the vehicle life time, which is also an important engineering task in the development of control systems.-- �Read more... Abstract: Control systems have come to play an important role in the performance of modern vehicles with regards to meeting goals on low emissions and low fuel consumption. To achieve these goals, modeling, simulation, and analysis have become standard tools for the development of control systems in the automotive industry. �Read more...
