Design for Additive Manufacturing: Toward End-Part Production Web Course RePlay

Additive manufacturing (AM), is a manufacturing process of choice for functional part production, adding to the suite of choices a designer has available when designing a part for manufacturing. Like other traditional processes like casting and machining, AM has its set of constraints. An added layer of complexity comes from the fact that there are several different AM processes, and some of the design constraints are process-specific. On the other hand, AM offers a range of opportunities in design freedom and mass customization as well as in cost and lead time reduction in some cases. Today, it is essential for designers to embrace AM as a possible manufacturing method to ensure their products are competitive and also to unlock the design innovation that AM enables. The goal of this 10-hour course is to give designers the information needed to start designing for AM at all levels - identifying and justifying use of AM technology for a particular part, selecting the right process and

Infinitely Variable Transmissions Using a Toroidal Traction Variator Web Seminar RePlay

An Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) is a subset of a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) defined as a device that has a range of ratios of input shaft speed to output shaft speed which includes an Infinite ratio in which the output speed is zero. Typically these devices include both positive and negative ratios on either side of zero resulting in the ability to move forward and reverse from rest without a clutch: IVTs can improve vehicle performance while maintaining or exceeding benchmark functionality and performance. IVTs are a good candidate for future, fuel-efficient vehicles, particularly hybrids and AWDs. An IVT can maintain superb functionality and performance while reducing fleet CO2 levels. No vehicles other than heavy tractors currently use IVT transmissions.

Fundamentals of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) for Aerospace Systems

With the world aircraft fleets growing exponentially, the maintenance burden on airlines is also becoming overwhelming. One way to counter this is by making systems “smarter” so that they can self-diagnose themselves, help with troubleshooting, and estimate remaining useful life.

Estimated to take up to 10 hours to complete, this course is particularly adapted for training all levels of an organization on the requirements of this standard but also on how to lead or conduct internal audits and supplier audits using ISO 19011:2018, the guideline standard on how to audit management systems

LIDAR for ADAS and Autonomous Sensing

Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle technologies have disrupted the traditional automotive industry with potential to increase safety and optimize the cost of car ownership. Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensing, a sensing method that detects objects and maps their distances, is seeing rapid growth and adoption in the industry. However, the sensor requirements and system architecture options continue to evolve. This course will provide the foundation to build LIDAR technologies in automotive applications. The course reviews infrared basics: electromagnetic spectrum, spectral irradiance, night vision and eye safety. The instructor will dive into LIDAR – flash, scanning, wavelengths, lasers, detectors, scanners, range and resolution calculations, optics, thermal design, challenges to automotive qualification, and sensor fusion. The course will conclude with a short discussion on trends and challenges facing optical sensing in autonomous vehicles. The course
