Abstract Windshield glasses of Maruti Alto 800 (A800), Hyundai i20 (H20), and Suzuki Eeco (SE) are taken from an automotive repair shop for investigating their physical, optical, mechanical properties to check durability. These amorphous, which is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Energy dispersive spectroscopy confirms that the windshield contain SiO 2 , Na O, MgO, CaO, Al O 3 K in variabl...

The technological advancements of embedded system and electronics within the vehicle are being driven by the challenge to make the vehicle safer, more energy efficient and networked. Implementation of Automotive tasks has become easier with various advancement in software and hardware design modules. These Automotive tasks are implemented on a controller called ECU. Heart of any ECU is a Flash-...

Tempered windshields commonly used in Europe have been shown to be related to the relatively high incidence of ocular injuries. Although windshields of the High Penetration Resistant (HPR) type in cars in North America are not at all significantly involved in ocular injuries, still about 50 % of the injuries of the eye area are caused by glass. The HPR windshield probably is the main reason for...

Abstract The main aim of this experimental study is to test the novel type coupon installation. This set-up was used carry out corrosion process under aggressive conditions. Moreover, effect inhibitors on scale-forming tendency evaluated. corrosive conditions were defined by using Langelier Saturation Index (this index an approximate indicator degree saturation CaCO 3 in water) and Ryznar stabi...

Variable 4 is a multichannel sound installation that uses meteorological sensors and a multi-layered array of algorithmic processes to transform weather data into musical patterns in real time. This paper describes the work in detail, outlining its historical context, systems infrastructure and installation specifics. The piece is discussed in relation to sonification and environmental installa...

Off-road cars’ windshields are vulnerable to different types of stones, road debris and pebbles due to common off paved and gravel surfaces in which they drive. Any attempt to design windshield that minimizes injury and death of occupants during a vehicle accident requires a thorough understanding of the mechanical behavior of automotive windshield subjected to foreign object impact loads...
