The third volume, Materials Usage, Design, and Analysis, of this six-volume compendium provides methodologies and lessons learned for the design, analysis, manufacture, and field support of fibre-reinforced, polymeric-matrix composite structures. It also provides guidance on material and process specifications and procedures for using the data that is presented in Volume 2. The information provided is consistent with the guidance provided in Volume 1, and is an extensive compilation of the current knowledge and experiences of engineers and scientists from industry, government, and academia who are active in composites. The Composite Materials Handbook, referred to by industry groups as CMH-17, is a six-volume engineering reference tool that contains over 1,000 records of the latest test data for polymer matrix, metal matrix, ceramic matrix, and structural sandwich composites. CMH-17 provides information and guidance necessary to design and fabricate end items from composite materials. It includes properties of composite materials that meet specific data requirements as well as guidelines for design, analysis, material selection, manufacturing, quality control, and repair. The primary purpose of the handbook is to standardise engineering methodologies related to testing, data reduction, and reporting of property data for current and emerging composite materials. It is used by engineers worldwide in designing and fabricating products made from composite materials.

Volume 1, Guidelines for Characterization of Structural Materials, of this six-volume compendium contains guidelines for determining the properties of polymer matrix composite material systems and their constituents, as well as the properties of generic structural elements, including test planning, test matrices, sampling, conditioning, test procedure selection, data reporting, data reduction, statistical analysis, and other related topics. Special attention is given to the statistical treatment and analysis of data. Volume 1 contains guidelines for general development of material characterisation data as well as specific requirements for publication of material data in CMH-17.

The second volume, Materials Properties, of this six-volume compendium contains statistically-based data for polymer matrix composites that meets specific CMH-17 population sampling and data documentation requirements, covering material systems of general interest. Selected historical data from previous versions of the handbook that do not meet current data sampling, test methodology, or documentation requirements, but that still are of potential interest to industry are also included in this volume.

This book discusses automotive telematics from a technical perspective, with reference to the business model and to the value for the user. Automotive telematics is a concept that combines telecommunications and computing (informatics) technologies to connect vehicles to a communication infrastructure. This enables car manufacturers and service providers to provides services to consumers and commercial users by exchanging information among vehicle systems, attached consumer electronics devices, and telematics service centers. Contents: Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Value Chain and Business Model; Chapter 3: Telematics System View - End-to-End System, In-Vehicle System, Back-End Infrastructure; Chapter 4: Enabling Technologies - Positioning and Location Technologies, Telematics Services Delivery Technologies, Networking and Protocols; Vehicle Communications; Audio and Speech Processing, Distributed Computing; Chapter 5: Services and Applications - Communications, Convenience, Floating Car Data (FCD), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Product Feedback, Productivity-Asset Status Update, Infotainment; Safety and Security; Chapter 6: Telematics Products - Broadcast Systems, Two-Way Communications Systems, Safety and Security Systems; Fleet Management Systems, Connected Infotainment Systems; Chapter 7: Challenges and Future Research - Driver Distraction and Human-Machine Interface (HMI), Life Cycle Disparity, Communication Networks, Distributed Applications, Telematics-Assisted Safety Systems.
