MEMS for automotive and aerospace applications reviews the use of
Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) in developing solutions to
the unique challenges presented by the automotive and aerospace
industries.
Part one explores MEMS for a variety of automotive applications.
The role of MEMS in passenger safety and comfort, sensors for
automotive vehicle stability control applications and automotive
tire pressure monitoring systems are considered, along with
pressure and flow sensors for engine management, and RF MEMS for
automotive radar sensors. Part two then goes on to explore MEMS for
aerospace applications, including devices for active drag reduction
in aerospace applications, inertial navigation and structural
health monitoring systems, and thrusters for nano- and
pico-satellites. A selection of case studies are used to explore
MEMS for harsh environment sensors in aerospace applications,
before the book concludes by considering the use of MEMS in space
exploration and exploitation.
With its distinguished editors and international team of expert
contributors, MEMS for automotive and aerospace applications is a
key tool for MEMS manufacturers and all scientists, engineers and
academics working on MEMS and intelligent systems for
transportation.
Chapters consider the role of MEMS in a number of automotive
applications, including passenger safety and comfort, vehicle
stability and controlMEMS for aerospace applications are also
discussed, including active drag reduction, inertial navigation and

This is the first book to combine classical vehicle dynamics with
electronic control. The equation-based presentation of the theory
behind vehicle dynamics enables readers to develop a thorough
understanding of the key attribute to both a vehicle's driveability
and its active safety. Supported by MATLAB tools, the key areas
that affect vehicle dynamics are explored including tire mechanics,
the steering system, vehicle roll, traction and braking, 4WS and
vehicle dynamics, vehicle dynamics by vehicle and human control,
and controllabiliy.
As a professional reference volume, this book is an essential
addition to the resources available to anyone working in vehicle
design and development. Written by a leading authority in the field
(who himself has considerable practical experience), the book has a
unique blend of theory and practice that will be of immense value
in this applications based field.
* Get a thorough understand of why vehicles respond they way they
do with a complete treatment of vehicle dynamics from theory to
application
* Full of case studies and worked examples using MATLAB/Simulink
* Covers all variables of vehicle dynamics including tire and
vehicle motion, control aspects, human control and external
disturbances
ISO/TS 16949: 2002 (TS2) will have a huge impact on the whole of
the automobile industry as it formalises, under a single world-wide
standard, the quality system that must be met by vehicle
manufacturers and their suppliers. This handbook is the only
comprehensive guide to understanding and satisfying the
requirements of ISO/TS 16949: 2002. Written by best-selling quality
author David Hoyle ("ISO 9000 Quality Systems Handbook") this new
book is ideal for those new to the standard or establishing a
single management system for the first time, as well as those
migrating from existing quality management systems. It will suit
quality system managers and quality professionals across the
automotive industry, managers and executive level readers,
consultants, auditors, trainers and students of management and
quality.
*The only complete ISO/TS 16949: 2002 (TS2) reference: essential
for understanding both TS2 and ISO 9001: 2000
*TS2 becomes mandatory for all auto manufacturers and their many
thousands of suppliers in 2006
* Includes details of the certification scheme, the differences
with previous standards, check lists, questionnaires, tips for
implementers, flow charts and a glossary of terms
*David Hoyle is one of the world's leading quality management

From the national bestselling author of The Food Explorer comes the untold story of Alice Hamilton, a trailblazing doctor and public health activist who took on the booming auto industry—and the deadly invention of leaded gasoline, which would poison millions of people across America.
At noon on October 27, 1924, a factory worker was admitted to a hospital in New York City, suffering from hallucinations and convulsions. Before breakfast the next day, he was dead. Alice Hamilton was determined to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
By the time of the accident, Hamilton had pioneered the field of industrial medicine in the United States. She specialized in workplace safety years before the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was created. She was the first female professor at Harvard. She spent decades inspecting factories and mines. But this time, she was up against a formidable new foe: America’s relentless push for progress, regardless of the cost.
The 1920s were an exciting decade. Industry was booming. Labor was flourishing. Automobiles were changing roads, cities, and nearly all parts of American life. And one day, an ambitious scientist named Thomas Midgley Jr. triumphantly found just the right chemical to ensure that this boom would continue. His discovery—tetraethyl leaded gasoline—set him up for great wealth and the sort of fame that would land his name in history books.
Soon, Hamilton would be on a collision course with Midgley, fighting full force against his invention, which poisoned the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the basic structure of our brains.
American Poison is the gripping story of Hamilton’s unsung battle for a healthy planet—and the ramifications that continue to echo today.
