Hybrid Electric Vehicles-The Present and Future

Ever since the inception of automobiles, the fossil fuel driven engines have dominated as the best

power source for propulsion owing to high energy content, ease of handling and economical and

abundant supplies of fuel they run on.

Today, however, in times of fast growing automotive industry with sky rocketing fuel consumption

(≈ 88 million barrels/day worldwide) vomiting huge amount of emissions (≈ 40 billion metric

tonnes of CO2 globally) and rapidly dwindling petroleum deposits having led to fuel prices hitting

all times high (≈111USD against nearly 40USD in 2000), technical inabilities of this engine

technology to offer higher fuel economy and inherent tendency to engender tremendous

environmental degradation by combustion by-products, are making them victims of their own

success.

Underpinned by growing intrinsic and extrinsic sense of responsibility concerning exacerbating

environment and burden of exorbitant fuel costs, a global paradigm shift is ignited systemically

amidst consumers, researchers, industry players and policy-makers and an urgent need is felt to

explore technically efficient and environmentally benign alternative forms of mobility resolving

these engine related challenges and delivering unprecedented performance.

Numerous options including improved conventional fuel quality, advanced vehicle technologies

and alternative fuels proposing innovative ideas for power systems far more efficient than

anything that we have today have been thought of over the past few years. However, their

acceptance and commercialization is plagued by high initial costs, on-board energy storage issues

and lack of infrastructural and safety concerns.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs), among these, are topping the list to emerge out as a sustainable

and environment friendly synergistic means of mobility owing to their inherent ability of utilizing

existing fuel quantum more efficiently, evading technical and environmental constraints of ages

old, well proven conventional technologies.

An HEV employs an intelligent, electronically controlled complex integration of engine and electric

motor, complimenting their strengths and eliminating individual weaknesses skillfully leading to a

reliable vehicle meeting up criterions of fuel efficient performance and stringent emissions.

The performance and environmental benefits of an HEV are influenced by sizing and selection of

subsystems and their synergistic integration, characterized by the hybridization factor, within a

sophisticated control strategy that continuously monitors and balances the energy flow onboard

the vehicle to result into various configurations. The best hybridization configuration is still the

subject of ongoing investigation; however a few widely adopted configurations worth mentioning

are Series, Parallel and Power-Split hybrids.


XIII

The series configuration preferred generally for city driving and heavy-duty vehicles dealing with

frequent stop and go nature of applications is the hybridization of energy sources. In series

hybrids, only electric motor drives the drivetrain, and engine works as a generator to power

electric motor or to recharge batteries. The series structure derives its benefit from the optimal

traction characteristics of an electric motor on one hand, while operating engine at its best

efficiency point on the other hand.

The parallel configuration is the hybridization of drive systems wherein, engine and electric motor

are both connected to the mechanical transmission and can simultaneously transmit power to

drive the wheels. As engine here is not set for its best operating range, its emission and thermal

efficiency are worse than those of the series type. However, it eliminates the inefficiency of

converting mechanical power to electricity and back, which makes these structures quite efficient

on long trips on highways.

Power-split hybrids, albeit more expensive proposition than a parallel one, offer the benefits of a

combination of series and parallel characteristics and hence are more efficient overall, over the

entire range of operation.

Unlike ordinary vehicles, where a lot of energy is wasted during idling, braking and losses

associated with oversized engines, in hybrids with some state of the art advanced technological

features such as Regenerative Braking and Idle Off in place, this energy is harnessed and utilized

effectively thereby reducing additional energy requirements making an HEV more energy

efficient, potentially achieving almost double the fuel-mileage and as high as 90% reduction in the

tail pipe emissions.

The launch of the first HEV on the Japanese roads with increasing concern for air quality and

energy security in the form of the Toyota Prius turned out to be a watershed and since then HEVs

are gaining increasing popularity with all top in the line auto giants flourishing newer models,

capturing significantly the dominating American, European and Japanese markets and even those

of developing and transitional countries, like China and Brazil. More than 5.8 million HEVs have

been sold worldwide by the end of October 2012, led by Toyota Motor Company followed by

Honda Motor Co. Ltd. with cumulative global sales of more than 1 million hybrids and Ford Motor

Corporation with more than 200 thousand hybrids sold in the U.S.by June 2012. The global

production figures of HEVs are expected to increase to 1.7 million vehicles by 2014 from merely

541,000 hybrids produced in 2007 and just 150,000 earlier in 2004.

HEVs as we are witnessing at the moment are just the infantile models, representative of a small

portion of the vehicles on the road today. However, a continued research spotlighted on

mastering the hybridizing concepts and technological improvements in mass production

procedures, backed by government incentives and tax benefits would surely pave the path for

wide spread penetration of the next generation hybrids in automotive sector foreshadowed to

meet up the targets of significant reduction in fuel consumption and environmental degradation

in the years to come.

Challenges ahead on Manufacturing Technology for Aerospace Industry

The root instinct to fly in the sky is well imprinted in the minds of human beings right from

the evolution, when making first steps on earth also fascinated homosepians getting

inspired from the flying birds. This eventually gave rise to the flying objects having

aerodynamic shapes and profiles like boomerangs used in search for the food needs. This

has later seen development of techniques to fly in the air from place to place giving birth to

Aircraft technology now realizing personal flying jet pack machines. Efforts to conquer the

space followed. This century witnessed artificial satellite sputnik in the orbit in 1957. In this

year ISRO is completing 50 years of space achievements. The Aerospace Journey is

challenging both for indigenous evolution of Manufacturing Technology both in-house and

very active outsourced support from the Industry. Launch vehicle Technology is highly

complex, encouraging disciplines including aeronautics, structures, Manufacturing

Technology, avionics, propulsion and chemical engineering. Satellite Technology helped

launching of earth observation and communication satellite spearheading programs of

societal benefit such as tele-medicine and tele-education. ISRO has just completed its

100th mission successfully with the commercial launch of ‘SPOT-6’ a French satellite

through PSLV C-21. Diverse Manufacturing techniques and development of complex

materials capable of meeting challenging aerospace requirements is the need of the hour.

Intensive involvement of R & D facilities, academic institution, has led to exemplary track

record of Indian industry in meeting Technological challenges having visited to Moon,

poised for the journey to Mars. In future this will make doors open for new frontiers of

technology and to new history of services in space communication, remote sensing,

navigation and planetary explorations.

Remote sensing satellites look forward for high resolution imaging, light weight structures

and manufacturing accuracy and sub-micron positional accuracy of optical elements.

Communication satellites require high gain transponders and electronic hardware with

high definition positional accuracy in geo stationary orbits. This necessitates latest

manufacturing technology both conventional like CNC milling, turning, EDM, wire cut EDM

CNC drilling etc. To non-conventional machining techniques like electo-chemical

machining, Laser machining, Electron beam machining, CAD CAM simulated stereo

lithographic techniques realizing from art to part direct realization .The pressure of foreign

and domestic competition are powerful incentives to keep price of Aerospace goods

manufacturing to competitive levels. Mechanical reliability at reduced cost is required to be

embedded in the design and process. Producing right quality product with cost effective

right kind of process with reduced turn around time is the challenge of hour. Advanced

CAM techniques for tool optimization path, efficient cycles and controls are upcoming with

on line measurement challenges through contact and non-contact coordinate measuring

techniques. Residual stress is to be effectively combated through various techniques.


XV

Ultimately the degree of innovation or manufacturing progress depends on basic scientific

research in the manufacturing area. Traditionally, the relationship of manufacturing

industries to science has been a somewhat parasitic one .Although industry has applied

the findings of science; it has yet to sponsor basic scientific research that is applicable to

innovative manufacturing. Concept of conglomerated consortium of small and medium

sector industrial support through cooperative model to the Aerospace manufacturing

needs is on horizon. Virtual machining concepts have made the world smaller in to high

tech information village. Making parts and assemblies in few operations not only by metal

removal but precision forging, cold extrusion, casting techniques, polymer composite

components, explosive forming, Nanotechnology powder metallurgy and direct forming

methods are up coming. Aerospace industry needs like working functionality of

components in hostile space environment, inter planetary missions, radiation tolerant

components for deep space Human space flight travel are future manufacturing

challenges.

Abstract Finite element analysis has now become an important part of engineering world for design. For analysis of structure, solid and fluid in physical condition is time consuming so application of computer programme and simulation codes is helping for them. The finite element procedures are set of governing algebraic equations which can be programmed and simulated with computer application. In this developing world material properties are also changing day by day. As material changes, analysis software must have to get upgraded for future requirement. We already have Tria and Quard elements for plane stress but geometry will be important aspect for future transformation materials. This paper contains research work for development of a new finite element with hexagon shape. A Hexagon shaped plane stress element will be effective. This paper contains element generation formulation and its behaviour analysis comparison with analytical results as well ANSYS. KEY WORDS: 6 node Hexagon element, hexagon finite Element, Plane stress element in FEA, Hexagon element.

1.0 INTRODUCTION In FEA world we have few definite elements like for 1-D we have line element and as well for 2-D we are having 2-D spar element, Beam element, Pipe element, Tria element (3 node, 6 node, etc..), Quard element (4 node,8 node , etc...) and for 3-D we have tetrahedral(4 node,10 node,etc...), hexahedral element ,wedge shaped(6 node, 8 node etc...) and pyramid(5 node, 7 node ,etc...) shaped elements. Almost all major problems are related to constant thickness of material and application of load on that constant thickness parts. Due to this all FEA solvers have started concentrating on 2-D element with thickness formulations. Due to this the 2-D tria, quard element are more useful to analyse different physics of structure. As the elements grown the major physics match with geometry with thickness formation. So 2-D elements are more preferable in general practice. Basically Tria element contains 3 node and 3 vertices, Quard element have 4 node and 4 vertices. With passage of time introduction of 6 nodes, 12 nodes, etc... Tria element and 8 nodes, 12 nodes, etc... Quard elements have gone developed. As node increase within vertices the results become more accurate. The increment of node within vertices gives the structure different mechanical behaviour like shear and tortional properties. To merge advantages of Tria and quard element hexagon shaped element development concept rises. Geometrical continuity of hexagon shaped element is C0. “If two adjacent elements are generated from element which contains the shape continuity of C0 continuity requirements then the distorted elements will be continuous and compatible.”[12]
