Multiscale COmponents-MATerials-COntact interactions in braking systems and aircraft compressors – CoMatCo
In turbojet aircraft engines, reducing fuel consumption and specific emissions of CO2 and NOx need to control the clearance between rotor and stator and consequently to master the blade-casing interactions. These interactions are strongly conditioned by the choice of the coating inside the casing.
Aeronautic and Automotive Gathering for Pulsating Heat Pipe Development – AARDECO
Facing primary societal challenges (greenhouse effect reduction, fossil energy rarefaction), the industry of transportation vehicles has to change profoundly to provide the economic use of resources for the sake of future generations. This important transformation passes through the minimization of
Virtual lab based on co-simulation to include impairments of wireless tElecommunication such as GSM-R in the evAluation of ERTMS components – VEGAS
The deployment of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) in Europe will be mandatory on the major high-speed railway corridors, but this process will be long and expensive. Industry needs faster roll-out and a reduction of costs in order to obtain the certification and authorization to
Decision Support System for Robust Design and Service Quality Indicators of Railway Transport Plans – SCRIPT
Rail traffic should grow significantly in the coming years but this evolution won't really occur without users’ acceptance of the service provided by rail transport. To fulfill the future demand for transport, railway companies must therefore ensure a stable and reliable transport plan which requir
Performing Enhanced Rail Formal Engineering Constraints Traceability – PERFECT
When a train crosses a border, it will need to change its onboard signalling system for example, which will generate an important financial cost. Interoperability of the rail system within Europe is therefore key to its competitiveness. It aims at creating a rail network allowing transport that is s
TRain ENergy Efficiency via Rankine-cycle exhaust Gas heat recoverY – TRENERGY
Up to now, Rankine systems have been mainly used for stationary equipment (power plants, heat recovery from boilers and furnaces, ...), although applications to transport have been studied (for trains, trucks, and more recently, cars) or even implemented, in the case for large ships. For lighter tr
Downsized Spark-Ignition Engine with Controlled Oxygen Concentration – MACDOC
The propulsion of automobile vehicle is currently ensured and will continue for a few decades by an internal combustion engine of the spark-ignition engine or diesel engine type. As the emission standards became more and more stringent, the depollution of diesel engines made this engine uncompetitiv
Aerodynamics and Sprays during TRansients of Gasoline Direct Injection Engines – ASTRIDE
The objective of ASTRIDE js to contribute to a better understanding of the mixture preparation and the formation of liquid films during cold transients of internal combustion, gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines. Recent work has indeed shown that transients are responsible for important levels o
Ignition Fundamentals for Internal Combustion Engines – FAMAC
To develop a high performance ignition system at acceptable cost for the automotive industry, it is important to avoid strong technology changes by conserving the spark based system. For this it is important to understand the energy path from the power electronics through the arc until the initiatio
Limitation of the Impact of vehicules on the environment by means of aerodynamic control using synthetic microjets – LIVE CAMS
The goal of the present project of industrial research is the development of an efficient and validated methodology of drag reduction of automobile vehicles (up to 10%) using integrated MMEMS synthetic microjets (MMEMS : Micro-Magneto-Electro-Mechanical-Systems). The aim is the reduction of greenhou
