The art and science of glass engineering, specifically applied to
automotive projects, are not at all commonplace. Although
windshields, side, and backlights seem to be obvious parts of any
car, truck, or bus, designing, sourcing, and manufacturing them are
unique challenges. From the business perspective, cost control
makes the choice of the ideal supplier a vital decision, greatly
impacting availability and production. From the technical
standpoint, the most creative designs can be rendered impractical
due to regulations, lack of economies of scale, or convoluted
logistics. Glass Engineering: Design Solutions for Automotive
Applications tackles all these variables using a no-nonsense,
step-by-step approach. Written by Lyn R. Zbinden, a mechanical
engineer and glass specialist, this book narrows the gap between
the reader and a technical subject by using language that is easy
to understand, a good variety of examples, and a series of
invaluable reference design tables. With a career spanning over 30
years in the automotive industry, Lyn R. Zbinden breaks down
complex concepts into "knowledge bites," building up a solid base
that both students and practitioners can profit from, and use on a
regular basis, for years to come. Glass Engineering: Design
Solutions for Automotive Applications addresses the theme of glass
from the manufacturing stage to the design, installation, and
warranty aspects. It also flags, along the way, the pitfalls and
the important questions to ask. More importantly, it provides the
reader with practical ways to solve the not-so-obvious problems
associated with the use of automotive glass. Developed with the
goal to offer effective training on the subject, this book is a
must-have for those just starting to get acquainted with the world
of automotive glass applications as well as those looking for the
ultimate source of practical knowledge in this field.
