Vibroisolation systems of base desks for machine and testing facilities usually cannot effect efficient changing of their own frequencies according to operating conditions. Especially in the case of the automotive industry, the possibility of changing natural frequencies is very desirable. During varying operating conditions, the vibroisolation system needs to be regulated easily and quickly regarding the minimisation of dynamical forces transmitted to the ground and to ensure the stability of the testing process. This paper describes one of the options of tuning the base desk at a relatively short time and by sufficient change of own frequencies, which decides the dynamical behaviour of the whole system.

The control of ignition timing in an internal combustion engine can improve fuel consumption. Electronic control implemented in software with a microprocessor has advantages over conventional mechanical systems. An open-loop electronic system, while incorporating an optimum profile against inlet manifold vacuum and speed, cannot readily adjust for wear. The optimum crank angle at which the peak cylinder pressure occurs has been found to be reasonably constant for a particular engine design irrespective of operating conditions. This paper presents a discussion of the use of this parameter as a measurand for a closed-loop ignition timing system. A discussion is presented of the control strategy used and results demonstrate the ability of the strategy to maintain constant the peak pressure position.

The increase in the number of electronic and electric systems used in the automotive industry necessitates a high level of electric power. To respond to this high electric power demand, it will be necessary to increase the voltage of the batteries and the current and to use new power connectors. A connector provides a separable interface between two subsystems of an electronic system. The main function of the connector is to transmit a signal or distribute power. For power connectors, heating can lead to an increase in contact resistance and sometimes even to contact surface melting and thus to connector damage. In this study, vibration tests and heat evolution of a commercial power connector used in the automotive industry was undertaken. The connector includes two spring lamellas on each side and the pin is flat. The pin is introduced between the two lamella springs and is submitted to vibration tests. Using an experimental set-up, the mechanical insertion force, the temperature and the resistance evolution can be measured. To quantify these parameters at the contact zone, a numerical modeling, using the finite element software Ansys, is used to give the change of the insertion force during several insertion-extraction cycles and to solve the differential equations for heat transfer in a transitory mode.

Secondary compressors for Low Density Poly-Ethylene are very critical machines. Safety aspects and reliability expectations determine a thorough evaluation of the service and the parameters involved. The solution used for the machine requires a long experience of positive results in these applications. Cylinder performance is strongly influenced by the design and also related to the combination of operation and maintenance activities. The capability to withstand the high fatigue stresses and the need to avoid any leakage of gas around the compressor area involves due considerations and design solutions to minimize such occurrences also during abnormal operations and emergencies. In addition to the cylinder valves, packings represent important components with great influence on the availability of machine and plant. The operating conditions of the packing, due to the high pressures involved, and the geometry of the components, create the condition for a relative movement of the cups mating surfaces. In general at disassembly, when maintenance and reconditioning activities are carried out wear, pitting, corrosion and local defects can be detected on the cups and sealing elements, as a function of the life of the cylinders. The condition of the cups may also evidence some damages, with evident deposit of polymers, oil and wear of the components. Fretting corrosion phenomena may be sometime the reason of failure of packing in hyper-compressors for LDPE production. In some cases the repeated occurrence of various abnormalities on the packing life and particular wear pattern on the cups bring to need to discover the reason of the problems and require an accurate investigation, by using advanced laboratory analyses. The results evidence that the origin of such phenomena can be found on the surfaces of the components and on the organic acids, as in such conditions they are able to originate and develop the corrosion reactions. There is a strong connection with process parameters and operating conditions. These situations and particular applications have to be evaluated to put in place adequate actions to improve or have more chances of a reliable and economic operation.

Within the automotive industry one of the most used materials for user comfort is animal skin, this material is used to coat pieces that will have contact with the consumer. One of the most important problems that arise with the handling of the skin in operations of coating and assembly within plants of the automotive sector is the lack of resistance. A treatment that must be applied to the skin to improve its conditions of resistance to mechanical tension, is in function of two factors: percentage of moisture in the skin and amount of surfactant applied. In the present investigation, optimal operating conditions are established for the handling of the skin used in processes of the automotive sector based on a 3k factorial experimental design. The application case was carried out in a company dedicated to manufacture armrests for high-end cars. The results of the investigation show an improvement of 97% in operations where the resistance of the skin is required to meet the quality standards established in the automotive industry.
