Michael Duoba (SAE Member, 1993), Vehicle Test Engineer and team leader for the Advanced Powertrain Research Facility at Argonne National Laboratory, discuss his career progression and the type of work conducted at his lab.
Human Horizons of Shanghai, China has debuted a premium all-electric smart brand, HiPhi, with a production-ready prototype vehicle, HiPhi 1 – a premium supercar-inspired electric SUV and the first production vehicle equipped with 5G-V2X, or Vehicle-to-Everything connectivity.
Engineers at NASA and Boeing are amongst the believers who foresee folding wings in-flight using advanced materials and technologies being a potential game-changer for future aircraft. The two organization have teamed to develop an actuation system that uses an SMA that will accomplish this goal using less complex, lighter, and more compact hardware than conventional systems.
Custom desiccant bags are sized and shaped to meet customer-specified requirements and are filled with desiccant to adsorb water vapor and prevent condensation. Bags are unique and designed to explicitly to interface with complex architectures and restricted spaces. Made with various materials, the bags are durable and tear resistant.
Driven by rising demand for lighter weight components in automotive, heavy-duty trucks and off-highway vehicles, a new wave of technology and operational initiatives is taking center stage in the iron castings industry, explains Grede's Jay Solomond.
Tough Class A Ultra Lite from Continental Structural Plastics is a 1.2 specific-gravity sheet molding composite formulation that provides engineers the ability to design with a lower specific-gravity material without sacrificing mechanical properties, surface qualities, and adhesion requirements.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) had its latest 3-D printing technology at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, showing off a replica of a classic Shelby Cobra made via the rapidly propagating technology.
Megacity growth and energy demand are driving a diverse future mix of autonomous vehicles, car sharing, and cycling, among other more sustainable future-transportation solutions.
Days ahead of the 2016 Beijing Motor Show, Shell OIl unveiled its collaboration with Gordon Murray Design and Geo Technology, a city car concept that's all about efficiency.
Dubbed the Starship Initiative, the collaborative project between Shell and Airflow Truck Co. was established to provide insight into what trucking fleets and owner/operators could consider adopting to help reduce fuel use and emissions as they haul heavy loads.
How does a traditional powertrain component supplier stay relevant in an electrified and autonomus future? Rheinmetall Automotive CEO Horst Binnig explains.
KOA Speer Electronics expands the power shunt resistor line to include the 5-W PSI and 3-W PSE series for higher current applications and large current detecting with a smooth flow.
