Abstract:
In recent years, the import and export scale of auto parts industry grows increasingly in Jilin Province. According to the index of intra-industry trade of auto parts, the intra-industry trade level of the Jilin Province’s auto parts is relatively lowly, there are a great of room for development. In order to enhance the level of intra-industry trade, the enterprises should promote the upgrading of the processing trade, improve the quality of imports, take the independent brand and intellectual property rights as the key, to enhance the export competitiveness. The auto parts enterprises must shift gradually to the plurality of supporting activities from the original single production activities.

Abstract:
Over the past 15 years the auto industry has shifted from a regional industry to a global industry. As a result of this shift the original equipment supplier base has been pulled in the same direction. The globalization process has paralleled the consolidation of the supplier base that has taken place. These two trends have brought new challenges and opportunities to the supplier community.

Abstract:
This paper traces the evolution of employment relations in the U.S. auto industry over the post World War II period with particular emphasis on recent developments. There is a strong movement toward growing variation in employment relations within both the assembly and parts sectors of the auto industry. Variation appears both through the spread of more contingent compensation and team systems of work organization. There is also wide variety across plants and industry segments in basic employment systems including low wage, human resource, Japanese-oriented, and joint team-based approaches. Declining unionization is a particularly strong influence in the parts sector although nonunion operations have now spread to the assembly sector. While these trends are well illustrated by developments in the auto industry, they are trends common to other parts of the U.S. economy.

Abstract:
Affected by the Internet, computer, information technology, etc., building a smart city has become a key task of socialist construction work. The smart city has always regarded green and low-carbon development as one of the goals, and the carbon emissions of the auto parts industry cannot be ignored, so we should carry out energy conservation and emission reduction. With the rapid development of the domestic auto parts industry, the number of car ownership has increased dramatically, producing more and more CO2 and waste. Facing the pressure of resources, energy, and environment, the effective and circular operation of the auto parts supply chain under the low-carbon transformation is not only a great challenge, but also a development opportunity. Under the background of carbon emission, this paper establishes a decision-making optimization model of the low-carbon supply chain of auto parts based on carbon emission responsibility sharing and resource sharing. This paper analyzes the optimal decision-making behavior and interaction of suppliers, producers, physical retailers, online retailers, demand markets, and recyclers in the auto parts industry, constructs the economic and environmental objective functions of low-carbon supply chain management, applies variational inequality to analyze the optimal conditions of the whole low-carbon supply chain system, and finally carries out simulation calculation. The research shows that the upstream and downstream auto parts enterprises based on low-carbon competition and cooperation can effectively manage the carbon footprint of the whole supply chain through the sharing of responsibilities and resources among enterprises, so as to reduce the overall carbon emissions of the supply chain system.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the study of technology upgrading in late industrialising countries. This research aims to understand the process of technology upgrading of SMEs in the automotive industry by looking at the internal and external sources of technology for these firms. To do so, the main bodies of literature of this research are i) technological capabilities and absorptive capacity, ii) global value chains, and iii) NLSs. Technology upgrading has not been a well-developed notion in the literature. The literature has focused on technical change in industrialised economies and it has omitted the process of incremental changes and the shortcomings existing in the system of innovation for late industrialising countries. To observe technology upgrading in developing countries, I look at the transfer of technology from up-to-date firms (assemblers) to the less knowledgeable firms (SMEs) and the assimilation of this technology by the latter. To look at other sources of technology, I observed the country' context and the role of other actors in the industry. In this regard, National Learning Systems (NLSs) permit to understand and explain the differences of the process of technical change in late industrialising countries where they learnt through the diffusion of technology created somewhere else rather than the creation of it within the system. In this research, I offer new findings for the literature which has paid little attention to the process of technology upgrading and SMEs. I also confirm that the use of NLSs instead of NIS is more accurate for late industrialising countries and I offer new paths for future research in these issues.

Abstract:
This thesis studies the determinants and outcomes of the skill systems in Mexico and Turkey, two crucial cases of middle-income countries (MICs). Despite the similarities in their previous institutional environments and links to the global economy, Turkey has experienced higher economic growth and better social development compared to Mexico. This PhD project focuses on the Mexican and Turkish skill systems, which have been significant institutions that affect the (different) economic and social characteristics of advanced industrialised countries in the literature on comparative capitalisms (CCs). This study builds its theoretical approach on the arguments of CCs literature and the claims of globalisation, where it draws from the studies on global value chains (GVCs). It scrutinises the patterns of convergence due to globalisation and ongoing divergence because of the variation of institutional structures. It examines the complementarities and outcomes of the skill systems, which will then help to understand the divergence of development experiences between Mexico and Turkey. This PhD project carries out a multi-level research and focuses the empirical study on auto parts-automotive value chains (AACs), which is an important industry for many MICs including Mexico and Turkey. The multi-level research first includes a macro-level study of local institutions in Mexico and Turkey, as well as the convergence patterns through the AACs. This is complemented with a micro-level analysis of firms' strategies to find workers with technical skills in production functions. The findings show that while there is some convergence in the Mexican and Turkish auto parts producers' skill needs, firms from these two countries adopt different strategies to address their needs. The distinctive national institutions in Mexico and Turkey, which are shaped by the differences in the state's involvement, are the main reasons for this divergence. The differences between the Mexican and Turkish skill systems have created different outcomes for both the firms and workers in these countries, and hence are expected to have contributed to their diverging development paths.

Resumo: A competitividade mundial está cada vez mais acirrada entre as empresas e a busca de diferenciais para os clientes passa diretamente pelos custos de seus produtos. Países com alta tecnologia de produção e também com elevados custos de produção interna estão optando por obter fontes de fornecimento em regiões onde os custos de produção são baixos e, conseqüentemente, reduzindo muito os custos do produto final sendo assim capazes de aumentar a atratividade para seus produtos. Devido à busca constante pela para redução de custos dos produtos finais, em especial, as empresas sistemistas estão atuando de forma a desenvolver novas fontes de fornecimento na região asiática que oferece preços altamente competitivos. O estudo mostra as relações e os impactos gerados pelo processo de Global Sourcing, as incertezas deste processo na cadeia de suprimentos e seus possíveis impactos na manufatura dos clientes destes componentes. Atualmente as empresas e seus administradores não possuem todos os recursos e conhecimentos necessários para a avaliação e tomada de decisão correta considerando as vantagens e desvantagens entre manter-se com a fonte atual e uma nova, originária da Ásia. Diante deste problema, este trabalho colaborará com os administradores a ter uma visão sobre quais são algumas das principais variáveis existentes neste processo. Como não há uma regra geral, o grande problema para os administradores é escolher a estratégia correta e, quantificar e qualificar seus benefícios podem ser de grande ajuda. O resultado deste trabalho será uma matriz de decisão que considera os três pilares usualmente considerados na escolha de uma fonte com relação à cadeia de fornecimento: compras, logística e qualidade. O objetivo deste trabalho é definir um método para combinar os três pilares usualmente considerados na escolha de uma fonte de fornecimento para indústria de autopeças, são eles: compras, logística e qualidade com o método AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) que auxiliará os gestores deste processo na tomada de decisão
Abstract: The global competition is increasingly fierce among companies and the search for differentials passes directly to customers the costs of their products. Countries with high technology production and also have high costs of domestic production are opting for more sources of supply in regions where production costs are low and, consequently, greatly reducing the cost of the final product is thus able to increase their attractiveness to products. Due to the constant search for cost reduction of final products, in particular, the systems are operating companies in order to develop new sources of supply in the Asian region offering highly competitive prices. The study shows the relationships and impacts generated by the process of Global Sourcing, the uncertainties of this process in the supply chain and its possible impacts on customers' manufacturing these components. Now the companies and their managers do not have all the resources and knowledge needed to evaluate and correct decision making considering the advantages and disadvantages of keeping up with the current source and a new, native to Asia. Faced with this problem, this paper will work with managers to gain insight into what are some of the main variables in this process. Since there is a general rule, the big problem for managers is to choose the right strategy, and quantify and qualify its benefits can be of great help. The result of this work is a decision matrix that considers the three pillars usually considered in choosing a source with respect to the supply chain: purchasing, logistics and quality. The objective of this work is to define a method for combining the three pillars usually considered when choosing a supply source for auto parts industry, they are, purchasing, logistics and quality with the AHP method (Analytic Hierarchy Process) to assist managers in this process of decision making

The present dissertation has the goal to verify the reasons which Metal Leve relinquished share-holder majority to an international competitor and to compare the existent situation in the time of denationalization and the situation in the new controlling company Mahle Metal Leve S.A. in production form and administration, after the reorganization of the productive restructuring. That process of productive internationalization r4sult in modification in the company restructuring of the production and of the administration and occasion a new virtous circle and represent the bases of a new economical growth, with a strategic project of long term, associated to his economical power, managerial capacity and his tradition. The study is based in a group of information about the two moments, focusing the financial results, managerial aspects, leadership, competitive capacity and the evolution to the long of those of the two compared moments. Concluding that not just the phenomenon of the globalization of the international economy turned inevitable the cession of the shareholders capital. But, it also lacked strategic vision to perceive the changes that unavoidably happened his turn. The new controlling Mahler Metal Leve brought a new managerial competence that resulted in increased of productivity and it improved his competitiveness.
A presente dissertação teve como objetivo verificar as razões pelas quais a empresa Metal Leve cedeu o controle acionário a uma empresa concorrente de porte internacional e comparar a situação existente à época da sua desnacionalização e o estágio em que se encontra a nova controladora Mahle Metal Leve S. A. em termos de produção e gestão, após a reorganização produtiva. Esse processo de internacionalização produtiva acarretou modificações na empresa ensejando uma reestruturação da produção e da gestão e um novo círculo vicioso, constituindo as bases de um novo crescimento econômico, com um projeto estratégico de longo prazo, associado ao seu poder econômico, a sua capacidade gerencial e a sua tradição. O estudo está fundamentado em um conjunto de informações sobre os dois momentos, focalizando os resultados financeiros, aspectos gerenciais, liderança, capacidade competitiva e a evolução ao longo desses dois momentos comparados. Concluindo que não apenas o fenômeno da globalização da economia internacional tornou inevitável a cessão do controle acionário. Porém, também faltou visão estratégica para perceber as mudanças que inevitavelmente ocorriam a sua volta e que a nova controladora, a Mahler Metal Leve, trouxe uma competência gerencial que resultou em ganhos de produtividade e melhorou sua competitividade

Resumo: Neste trabalho, buscou-se investigar se o crescimento e fortalecimento das atividades de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (P&D) das subsidiárias brasileiras de empresas multinacionais (MNCs), na indústria automobilística brasileira, tem levado ao envolvimento de seus fornecedores localizados no Brasil em atividades tecnológicas e resultado em sua maior capacitação tecnológica. A tese se vale do quadro conceitual desenvolvido por Lall (1992) a respeito do processo de aquisição de capacidades de inovação das empresas industriais em países em desenvolvimento, bem como de sua taxonomia para classificar os tipos e níveis dessas capacidades. A contribuição das relações entre fornecedores e clientes da indústria automotiva para a aquisição de capacidades inovativas pelos fornecedores é estudada a partir dos conceitos de tipos de vínculos de aprendizado entre empresas, desenvolvidos por Ariffin e Bell (1999). A tese analisa os resultados da investigação das trajetórias percorridas por empresas de autopeças, dispostas em cinco grupos, segundo seus processos de acúmulo de capacidades tecnológicas. Procurou-se identificar quais são os tipos de vínculo de aprendizado que empresas subsidiárias clientes (montadoras e sistemistas) estabelecem com seus fornecedores (nacionais ou subsidiárias de MNCs), e sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento das capacidades inovativas desses fornecedores. Procurou-se também entender se e como os vínculos com instituições, como universidades e institutos de pesquisa, contribuíram para a aquisição de competências para inovar dos fornecedores de autopeças. A metodologia privilegiou estudos de caso, focados no detalhamento dos eventos inovativos mais expressivos - inovações tecnológicas específicas, de maior alcance em cada empresa - liderados por subsidiárias brasileiras de montadoras ou por produtores de autopeças locais. Para cada inovação, buscou-se identificar a participação dos diversos atores da cadeia de inovação, bem como, a qualidade e intensidade dessa participação e seus efeitos para o aprendizado. Assim, o foco nos eventos inovativos permitiu identificar o grau de capacitação tecnológica alcançado pelas empresas pesquisadas. A amostra compreendeu 6 subsidiárias de multinacionais produtoras de sistemas e autopeças e 8 empresas fornecedoras de autopeças nacionais. Os principais achados sugerem que, efetivamente, o incremento e a intensificação de atividades de P&D de MNCs automotivas no Brasil gera demanda por atividades tecnológicas nos fornecedores locais e contribui para seu progresso em termos de aquisição de capacidades tecnológicas. O desenvolvimento das capacidades de inovação dos fornecedores locais refere-se primordialmente a seu envolvimento com o codesenvolvimento de produtos. Apenas nos casos em que as subsidiárias efetivamente se engajam em atividades de pesquisa tecnológica, isso se desdobra no envolvimento de parceiros brasileiros com a criação de novas tecnologias. Por outro lado, a pesquisa também constatou que o incremento das capacidades tecnológicas dos fornecedores locais atua como fator de atração importante nas decisões de investimento em P&D das MNCs em suas subsidiárias brasileiras.
Abstract: The thesis investigates whether the growing and strengthening of Research and Development (R&D) activities performed by Brazilian subsidiaries of multinational companies in the automotive industry has led their suppliers located in Brazil to engage in technological activities, thus resulting in the upgrading in their technological capabilities. The thesis departs from the conceptual framework developed by Lall (1992) and by Bell and Pavitt (1995) respective to the acquisition of innovation capabilities of industrial firms in developing countries. It also makes use of their taxonomy to classify types and levels of such capabilities. The investigation has also focused how the relation between suppliers and customers contributes for the acquisition of innovation capabilities by suppliers. In this connection, it is based on concepts of types of learning links between companies, developed by Ariffin and Bell (1999). The work analyzes the results of the empirical study of the trajectories carried out by autopart companies in Brazil, which have been arranged in five groups, according to their accumulation of technological capabilities. The thesis seeks to identify the types of learning links that customer, subsidiary companies (assemblers and system suppliers) establish with their suppliers (national firms or multinational subsidiaries), and also their contribution to the development of the innovative capabilities of these suppliers. The thesis also seeks to understand whether and how the learning links with institutions - such as universities and research institutes - have contributed to the acquisition of innovation competencies by autopart suppliers. The research methodology was primarily based on case studies, which focused the detailed development of the most significant innovation events in each firm - specific technological innovations which impacted the companies in a larger scale - which have been leaded by Brazilian subsidiaries of local assemblers or of local autopart suppliers. For each innovation event, there was an attempt to identify the involvement of the several actors in the innovation chain, as well as an attempt to identify the quality and the intensity of this involvement and its impact on learning. Thus, the focus on innovation events allowed the identification of the level of technological capability reached by the companies studied. The sample comprised 6 subsidiaries of systems and autopart multinationals and 8 national autopart suppliers. The main findings suggest that improving and intensifying the R&D activities of automotive multinationals in Brazil generates demand for technological activities among local suppliers, besides contributing for their progress in terms of the acquisition of technological capability. The development of innovation capabilities by suppliers is basically related to their involvement in product co-design. Only in the cases in which the subsidiaries are actually engaged in activities of technological research, this leads to Brazilian partners being involved in the creation of new technologies. On the other hand, another finding was that improving the technological capabilities of local suppliers plays an important role in the decisions about R&D investments in Brazilian Subsidiaries of multinational companies.

In the 1950s, Japanese companies in the automotive sector, in particular the Toyota Motor Company, began to develop different methods to manufacture vehicles in relation to those used by U.S. industry, known at the time as a system of mass production (OHNO 1997; WOMACK et al. 1992; CUSUMANO, 1989). Breaking this paradigm resulted in a new production model, known as the Toyota Production System (TPS) and popularized in the west by the name of lean manufacturing (LM) or lean production (LP). With the implementation of new production systems, it is generally verified that changes occur in production strategies (PSs), in coordinating the flow of materials and information and also the relationships between customers and suppliers, and these can have major impacts on the ways organizational implemented. Given this context, the main objective of this work is to identify and analyze the relationships between production strategies and lean manufacturing approach in three companies of the auto parts industry that have adopted lean manufacturing as a system for production management, trying to verify the role that STP has in the PSs of each company. We opted for a qualitative approach and the research strategy used was the case study. The results of the study indicate that production strategies and lean production are effectively aligned in the cases studied, showing that LP acts supporting the PS of the companies.
Na década de 1950, as empresas japonesas do setor automobilístico, em especial a Toyota Motor Company, começaram a desenvolver métodos diferentes de fabricar veículos em relação aos utilizados pela indústria americana, conhecido na época como sistema de produção em massa (OHNO, 1997; WOMACK et al., 1992; CUSUMANO, 1989). A quebra desse paradigma resultou em um novo modelo de produção, conhecido como Sistema Toyota de Produção (STP) e popularizado no ocidente com o nome de manufatura enxuta (ME) ou produção enxuta (PE). Com a implantação de novos sistemas de produção, verifica-se geralmente que ocorrem mudanças nas estratégias de produção (EPs), na coordenação do fluxo de materiais e informações e ainda, nas relações entre clientes e fornecedores, e estes podem ter impactos importantes nas formas organizacionais implementadas. Diante deste contexto, o objetivo principal deste trabalho é identificar e analisar as relações existentes entre as estratégias de produção e a abordagem da manufatura enxuta em três empresas do setor de autopeças que adotaram o lean manufacturing como sistema para a gestão da produção, procurando verificar o papel que o STP exerce nas EPs de cada companhia. Optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa e a estratégia de pesquisa utilizada foi o estudo de caso. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que as estratégias de produção e a produção enxuta se encontram efetivamente alinhadas nos casos estudados, mostrando que a PE atua dando suporte à EP das empresas.

ABSTRACT Remanufacturing is an important source of sustainable development. Remanufactured products provide quality standards of new products with low cost. In addition, remanufacturing companies represent a potential growth in employment, as are intensive in manpower due to the operations of disassembly, reconditioning and reassembly. Due to the unique characteristics of the remanufacturing process, it clearly has many differences compared to conventional manufacturing. These characteristics, which makes it a complex activity, requiring a good performance of the activities of the Production Planning and Control (PPC). In this research we intend to cope with PPC, specifically for the automotive parts remanufacturing, one of the most representative of the category in Brazil. The research objectives are to identify the main characteristics and challenges of remanufacturing auto parts, with respect to PPC, identifying the main features, management tools and challenges of remanufacturing in the literature with regard to PPC, and propose a model / method to fill the identified gaps about the difficulties in practice and literature on PPC in remanufacturing. The proposed method, to fill one of the gaps identified, is to perform the disassembly master production scheduling considering stochastic routings. Thus, the results of this study contribute effectively to the development of theory and practical application with respect to PPC in remanufacturing.
A remanufatura é uma importante fonte de desenvolvimento sustentável. Os produtos remanufaturados são de qualidade e de baixo custo. Além disso, as empresas remanufatureiras representam um potencial crescimento no nível de emprego, pois são intensivas em mão-de-obra devido às operações de desmontagem, recondicionamento e remontagem. Em função das características singulares dos processos de remanufatura, esta possui claramente muitas diferenças em relação à manufatura convencional. Essas características, que a torna uma atividade complexa, requerem um bom desempenho das atividades de Planejamento e Controle da Produção (PCP). Nesta pesquisa pretende-se atuar justamente nas atividades do PCP, mais especificamente no PCP para a remanufatura de autopeças, uma das maiores representantes da categoria no Brasil. Os objetivos da pesquisa são: identificar as principais características e dificuldades da remanufatura de autopeças, no que se refere ao PCP; identificar as principais características, ferramentas gerenciais e dificuldades da remanufatura na literatura, no que se refere ao PCP; e propor um modelo/método para preencher uma das lacunas identificadas a respeito das dificuldades na prática e na literatura sobre PCP na remanufatura. O método proposto, para preencher uma das lacunas identificadas, é para realização da programação mestre de desmontagem considerando roteiros estocásticos. Com isso, os resultados da presente pesquisa contribuem efetivamente para o desenvolvimento da teoria e para a aplicação prática com relação ao PCP na remanufatura.

The history of the automobile in Brazil began around 1890, when the first vehicle imported from Europe, landed on home soil. From then on, the car that from the beginning has a relationship of love and hate with the population, is gaining space and the auto industry growing in importance for the industrial development of this country. Since the 1950s, when the government begins the process of developing a genuinely Brazilian automobile industry, several adjustments had to be made for this to happen. In parallel to the development of the automotive industry, developed to the auto parts industry. In the beginning, all the pieces were imported from Europe and the US, to the time when a national auto parts industry develops. The national automotive industry consists of original and independent auto parts suppliers. The first supply the car manufacturers and the last the aftermarket. The investigation begins in automotive History it is developed by aftermarket features and the relationship of suppliers to automakers ends with a multiple case study, that investigates 4 original and independent parts manufacturers. The research method used in this study is the study of multiple case study. The main contribution of the study was to add the independent auto parts supplier in the supply chain structures of the automotive industry presented by Bede (1996) and Scavarda and Hamacher (2011).
A História do automóvel no Brasil teve início por volta de 1890, quando o primeiro veículo importado da Europa, desembarca em solo nacional. A partir de então, o automóvel que desde do início tem uma relação de amor e ódio com a população, vai ganhando espaço e a indústria automobilística crescendo em importância para o desenvolvimento industrial desse país. Desde os anos de 1950, quando o governo inicia o processo de desenvolvimento de uma indústria automobilística genuinamente brasileira, diversos ajustes tiveram de ser feitos para que isso pudesse acontecer. Em paralelo ao desenvolvimento da indústria automobilística, desenvolvia-se a indústria de autopeças. No início, todas as peças eram importas da Europa e dos EUA, até o momento em que uma indústria nacional de autopeças se desenvolve. A indústria nacional de autopeças é formada por fornecedores de autopeças originais e independentes. Os primeiros abastecem as montadoras de automóveis, e os últimos o mercado de reposição. A investigação se inicia na história da indústria automobilística, se desenvolve pelas características do mercado de reposição e o relacionamento dos fornecedores com as montadoras encerra-se com um estudo de caso múltiplo, com 4 fabricantes de autopeças originais e independentes. O método de pesquisa utilizado no presente estudo é o estudo de caso múltiplo e exploratório. A principal contribuição do estudo foi acrescentar o fornecedor de autopeças independente, nas estruturas de cadeia de suprimento da indústria automobilística apresentados por Bedê (1996) e Scavarda e Hamacher (2011).

Abstract:
The enactment of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was intended to reduce tariffs on most goods by 2008 among Canada, the United States, and Mexico, and to create the largest regional market outside the European Union. Early research conducted to investigate the relationships between tariffs elimination and trade volume focused mainly on macrolevel effects with mixed results, without acknowledging the possible influence from exchange rate fluctuations. After 20 years, NAFTA has provided the opportunity to observe a significant reduction in tariffs between 1994 and 2013. Skepticism regarding the relationship between trade liberalization and the regional economy, and the controversy still surrounding NAFTA, suggests that other factors might influence trade, making the current study relevant. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible relationships between exchange rate fluctuations and trade volume during a period when tariffs were eliminated. This study focused on 2 basic theories of preferential trade and the exchange rate, and data were collected on imports-exports between Mexico and the United States. Regression analyses showed a relationship between exchange rate fluctuation and trade volume when tariffs are eliminated. The findings may help exporters and unions understand the implications of other factors affecting trade. The findings may also help union leaders understand how other economic factors may have implication on global economy rather than focusing solely on trade agreements, and to better strategize in addressing social issues of concern related to globalization.

Abstract:
Exponential increase in the use of auto vehicles, and thus the fuel consumption, which relates to the air pollution, vehicle industry are in a strict environmental regulation from government. Due to which the innovation related to light-weighting is not only an option anymore but became a mandatory necessity to decrease the fuel consumption. To achieve this target, industry has been looking in fabricating components from high strength to ultra-high strength steels. With the usage of these material the lightweight was achieved by reducing a gage thickness. However due to their high strength property often challenges occurred are higher machine tonnage requirement, sudden fracture, geometric defect, etc. The geometric defect comes from elastic recovery of a material, which is also known as a springback. Springback is commonly known as a manufacturing defect due to the geometric error in the part, which would not be able to fit in the assembly without secondary operation or compensation in the forming process. Due to these many challenges, other research route involved is composite material, where light materials can be used with high strength material to reduce the overall vehicle weight. This generally includes, tailor welded blanks, multi-layer material, mechanical joining of dissimilar material, etc. Due to the substantial use of dissimilar materials, these parts are also called as hybrid components. It was noted that the part weight decreases with the use of hybrid components without compromising the integrity and safety. In this paper, a springback analysis was performed considering bilayer metal. For this two dissimilar materials aluminum and composite was considered as bonded material. This material was then bent in a channel forming set-up. The bilayer springback was compared in different condition like aluminum layer on punch side and then on die side. These results were then compared with the baseline springback of only aluminum thin and thick layer. It was found that the layer, which sees the punch side, matters due to the differences in elastic properties for both material and thus it directly influences the springback.

Abstract:
Water ice powder constitutes a potentially important manufacturing tool. Availability and cleanliness of this powder constitute its major advantage. It was shown that the ice particles can be used as an abrasive in the course of waterjet machining. Although the erosion potential of ice particle is inferior to that of the conventional abrasives the environmental soundness of ice enables us to expend the use of the ice abrasive jets on food industry, medicine, precision machining, etc. The principal issue in the use of the ice abrasives is particles formation. Analysis of various technologies showed that the most effective avenue in particles production is integration of the water freezing and ice decomposition. As the results, the desired flow rate of ice particles at the desired temperature and size distribution can be generated. The objective of the presented paper was the experimental investigation of the production of ice particles. An experimental set up was constructed and used for particles fabrication at controlled conditions. The acquired information was applied for the analysis of the phenomena leading to the particles formation. As the result a hypothetical mechanism of the ice decomposition was suggested and validated. The experiments involving the decontamination of the electronic devices, semiconductors, fabric, leather, food products, polished metal, soft plastics, rusted auto parts, etc were carried out in order to demonstrate the potential application of the ice blasting.

Abstract:
As American vehicle fuel efficiency requirements have become more stringent due to the CAFE standards, the auto industry has turned to fiber reinforced polymer composites as replacements for metal parts to reduce weight while simultaneously maintaining established safety standards. Furthermore, these composites may be easily processed using established techniques such as injection molding and compression molding. The mechanical properties of these composites are dependent on, among other variables, the orientation of the fibers within the part. Several models have been proposed to correlate fiber orientation with the kinematics of the polymer matrix during processing, each using various strategies to account for fiber interactions and fiber flexing. However, these all require the use of empirical fitting parameters. Previous work has obtained these parameters by fitting to orientation data at a specific location in an injection-molded part. This ties the parameters to the specific mold design used. Obtaining empirical parameters is not a trivial undertaking and adds significant time to the entire mold design process. Considering that new parameters must be obtained any time some aspect of the part or mold is changed, an alternative technique that obtains model parameters independent of the mold design could be advantageous. This paper continues work looking to obtain empirical parameters from rheological tests. During processing, the fiberpolymer suspension is subjected to a complex flow with both shear and extensional behavior. Rather than use a complex flow, this study seeks to isolate and compare the effects of shear and extension on two orientation models. To this end, simple shear and planar extension are employed and the evolution of orientation from a planar random initial condition is tracked as a function of strain. Simple shear was imparted using a sliding plate rheometer designed and fabricated in-house. A novel rheometer tool was developed and fabricated in-house to impart planar extension using a lubricated squeeze flow technique, where a low viscosity Newtonian lubricant is applied to the solid boundaries to minimize the effect of shearing due to the no-slip boundary condition. The Folgar-Tucker model with a strain reduction factor is used as a rigid fiber model and compared against a Bead-Rod model (a semi-flexible model) proposed by Ortman. Both models are capable of predicting the data, with the Bead-Rod model performing slightly better. Orientation occurs at a much faster rate under startup of planar extension, and also attains a much higher degree of flow alignment when compared with startup of steady shear.

Abstract:
Abstract A detailed model of human thermoregulation and a numerical algorithm to predict thermal comfort is a novel field of research and has wide applications in the auto/transportation industry and in the heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) industry. Anatomically specific convective and radiative heat transfer coefficients for the human body will be required to understand the human thermal physiological and comfort models. It necessitates to create hygienic and thermally comfortable spaces for the best productivity of the users. The physiological nature of thermal comfort during a transient condition such as a physical exercise or travel in an automobile are not yet well understood. In this paper, thermography has been applied to measure the convective and radiative heat transfer coefficients which has not been done before. Three different recovery processes were considered after the running of a human model on a treadmill with a range of speeds starting from 2 miles/hour to 10 miles/hour for stretch of twenty minutes. The recovery process included, (a) fan-assisted cooling with an air velocity of 0.5 m/s for 30 minutes, (b) fan-assisted cooling with an air velocity of 1.5 m/s for 30 minutes, and (c) natural cooling with no assistance of fan for 30 minutes. Thermal images were taken for forehead, trunk, arms, hands, legs of the models and the convective heat transfer coefficient and radiative heat transfer coefficient were calculated. The human models included both male and female, and belonged to two different age groups of less than 15 and above 40 with a total of 24 participants. The results show that though the temperatures, measured using thermography, for various parts of the human body changed locally, the overall calculated radiative heat transfer coefficients matched with the ASHRAE handbook values, and the calculated convective heat transfer coefficient increased with the increase of air velocity, while the models cooled down after the workout. Interestingly, the skin temperature decreased, initially, as the exercise progressed. After the completion of exercise, the skin temperature exhibited a quick rise during the recovery period with a subsequent decrease in the temperature, later. This trend was the same with all different age groups and sex of the models. The results also confirm that thermal images can be relied on for calculating the convective and radiative heat transfer coefficients of the human body to determine the heat transfer rate.
