报告摘要：
Modern powertrain engineering faces newly emerging needs such as higher fuel efficiency and lower emission as well as maintaining an acceptable level of comfort and durability. Downsizing, friction reduction, turbo charging, cylinder de-activation, stop start, electrification and hybridization are some of the possible technologies to achieve superior efficiency in modern powertrains. Integration of these technologies in the current powertrains and vehicles brings additional complexities to the design and development stage. In order to understand these complex and less known underlying physics, it is essential to utilize multi-physics models and analysis tools, expanding across the scales from nano-micro level interaction of surface asperities of components to the macro-system level.
报告人简介：
Dr Mohammadpour studied Mechanical Engineering in Urmia University/Iran. He joined the R&D department of ZF AG subsidiary in Iran in 2005 as a design engineer. He served as a transmission design and application engineer in several projects. In 2010, he joined Loughborough University as a PhD researcher working with Ford on the efficiency and NVH of differential hypoid gears. He developed several component and system level models. In 2013, he started his job as a post-doctoral research associate, working on high performance racing transmissions with Mercedes-AMG F1. He became a lecturer (assistant professor) in Loughborough University in 2015 in the field of dynamics and tribology of powertrain systems. As results of his industrial and academic activities, he has published in excess of 30 journal papers, 25 conference papers and standard chapters. He has served as guest editor in the Journal of Multi-Body Dynamics and International Journal of Powertrains and has been co-chair of “Powertrain Modelling and Control 2016” and “International Conference on Advanced Vehicle Powertrain 2017”. He is currently working on more than ￡1.5M publically or industrially funded projects in collaboration with Ford, JCB, Mercedes, AVL and UK funding bodies.
