Description
Book Synopsis Better Understand the Relationship between Powertrain System Design and Its Control Integration
While powertrain system design and its control integration are traditionally divided into two different functional groups, a growing trend introduces the integration of more electronics (sensors, actuators, and controls) into the powertrain system. This has impacted the dynamics of the system, changing the traditional mechanical powertrain into a mechatronic powertrain, and creating new opportunities for improved efficiency. Design and Control of Automotive Propulsion Systems focuses on the ICE-based automotive powertrain system (while presenting the alternative powertrain systems where appropriate). Factoring in the multidisciplinary nature of the automotive propulsion system, this text does two thingsadopts a holistic approach to the subject, especially focusing on the relationship between propulsion system design and its dy
Trade Review
"This book brings together the major propulsion system components with control oriented models and actuators to enable software and hardware-in-the-loop simulations. … This book will provide students with a detailed set of component models and simulation tools to learn Rapid Control Prototyping methods."
