Formal Representations

While requirements engineering has received considerable attention inacademia over the past years, formalization of requirements for physicallyinfluenced systems is still a difficult task in practice. In this paper, we giveformal representations of some typical requirement classes arising in theautomotive industry. We divide these patterns into three main classes:those mostly referring to properties of continuous signals, those mostlyreferring to discrete events and those referring to similarity to a referencesignal. We discuss these patterns on concrete examples from automotiveembedded systems, where specifications are used for test case generation.

In Model Based Development (MBD) of embedded systems, it is often desirable to verify or falsify certain formal specifications. In some cases it is also desirable to find the range of specification parameters for which the specification does not hold on the system. We illustrate these methods on a challenge problem from the automotive industry on a high-fidelity, industrial scale engine model.

Green Strategy

The purpose of this paper is to examine the green management and sustainable growth operations interventions specifically in the automotive industry perspective. Existing literature on green management and sustainable development has been studied with special focus on green strategy in the automotive industry as explored in the environmental-oriented research in respect of the selected automotive firms. The research unfolds the prodigious concern witnessed among the world governments, international agencies and policy decision-makers in global firms, related to green economy, green management and green strategy in order to achieve triple bottom-line impact. Paradoxically, the dominant automotive players have different green strategies for developed and developing economies. Approaches, internalizing the strategic decision-making, range from proactive to reactive. The investigation leads to a focus on main environmental initiatives and issues in the automotive industry of Pakistan. Significant improvement is needed to tackle environmental concerns and to acquire the catalyst effect of green management interventions to abate and reverse the damage already done to environment. The study of Pakistan may offer value for researchers and practitioners for further research in green management and green strategy in national industry context.

Abstract The extension of Shell’s landmark sentence to all the foreign affiliates of multinational enterprises (MNEs) would imply a global emissions reduction of 2.76 GtCO2. Between 28% and 43% of the total 2030 emissions reduction target of not exceeding 2°C would be achieved. While 91% of multinational affiliates’ output belongs to high-income countries, 54% of their emissions occur in low- and middle-income countries. Therefore, these commitments could crucially help emerging countries meet their mitigation targets. We place a special focus on MNEs in the vehicle industry and find that the current targets disclosed in the sustainability reports of the leading automotive MNEs (such as Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, and Ford) ignore the upstream emissions of their production, as they consider only scopes 1 and 2. This biased approach would have them reducing only 8%-22% of the required reductions of their upstream emissions if the Shell sentence were to be extended to the automotive industry.

Body In White

Two important objectives of the automotive industry are the decrease of the body-in-white weight and the improvement of the passenger safety. High strength steels (HSS) are widely used to achieve these objectives. Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) has recently been proposed to achieve high strength steel grades for the third generation of advanced high strength steels (AHSS), which contain a considerable amount of retained austenite. Due to their microstructure these new steel grades combine a high tensile strength with good elongation values, as long as cementite precipitation is avoided. A model describing the involved phase transformations is presented. Special focus is put on the cementite precipitation and how it is influenced by silicon and aluminum additions.

Light weight materials which possess high strength and durability are being utilized by the automotive industry to increase fuel economy. Rapidly solidified (RS) Al alloys are currently being extensively studied for this purpose. In this investigation the microstructure of an extruded Al-8Fe-2Mo alloy, produced by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, Goverment Products Div. was examined in a JE0L 2000FX AEM. Both electropolished thin sections, and extraction replicas were examined to characterize this material. The consolidation procedure for producing this material included a 9:1 extrusion at 340°C followed by a 16:1 extrusion at 400°C, utilizing RS powders which have also been characterized utilizing electron microscopy.
