Authors: D.A. Parker
Addresses: Managing Director, AE Developments Ltd., Rugby, UK
Abstract: The techniques available for the development of engine components include the use of new and improved materials and coatings, the use of specially machined shapes to give small departures from a flat or cylindrical surface and experimentally verified mathematical modelling. This article explores the developments.
Keywords: automotive components; engine components; materials innovation; vehicle design; mathematical modelling.
