RESEARCH KEYWORDS
Research conducted by automotive research panel cover vast automotive-related area including:
1. Vehicle Dynamics: ride and comfort, handling, kinematics and kinetics behaviours of vehicle dynamic essentials systems and subsystems.
2. Vehicle Powertrain: Research on power plant and transmissions. Focus on current technology such as Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) and also alternative powertrain system including Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV).
3. Engine Turbocharging: one of the key technologies for current and future engine developments in order to meet the ever-stringent fuel consumption and emission regulations. The study into engine turbocharging will involve the matching of turbo machines and internal combustion engine for performance enhancement, engine downsizing, together with its associated engineering complexities.
4. Internal Combustion Engine: Latest technology related to internal combustion engine powered vehicle including alternative fuel/Biofuel, engine performance modelling, vehicle modelling, and energy efficient vehicle.
5. Tribology: involves the study on friction, wear and lubrication of machine elements in relative motion. In the automotive sector, tribology plays an important role not only in reducing frictional power losses in moving parts (e.g. piston ring/cylinder liner, bearings, valve train, tire/road) but more importantly, it helps protect these parts from premature failure due to excessive wear and tear during operation
6. Automotive Braking: various research regarding braking system including brake squeal noise, electro-mechanical parking brake, and disk brake judder and its suppression approach.
7. Automotive emissions control: Catalytic converter, Diesel Particulate Filter, Ceramic Hollow Fibre Monolith, and Energy Recovery Technology.
8. Others: Underwater vehicle, vehicle cabin temperature study, battery technology, wiper noise and vibration, vehicle simulator, and design of various mechanical component & system.
