I t gives me immense pleasure in reaching out to SAENIS fraternity and extend my warm greetings through this SAEINDIA Northern Section Newsletter “Sampark”. I recall the year 1998, where a group of Engineers and Managers came together to start the activities of SAE in India. The main purpose of starting SAE activities was to benchmark best practices in automotive industry and to upgrade the knowledge in the field of automobile industry. The formation of SAENIS has played an important role in spreading out the activities through membership, student chapters and by organizing various technical seminars. SAENIS has successfully organized three International Mobility Conferences in the years of 2000, 2004 and 2008 and the SAENIS team has shown a good team work while organizing these successful conferences in Delhi. I understand that SAENIS is once again going to organize the next International Mobility Conference in 2012, for which the preparations have already started. I wish all SAEINDIA and Section board members as well as organizing committee of the conference a grand success for this event. One of the important requirements for SAENIS members is to get proper communication through a media to get acquainted with all the happenings in SAENIS and this gap is now reduced by way of our SAEINDIA, Northern Section Newsletter “Sampark”. The automotive industry in India is growing fast and there is a strong need to meet the future demands in terms of technology and modernization. I appeal to all the present members of SAENIS to spread the word among their fellow members to promote SAE activities to take this to the level of SAE International, USA.

Innovative Solutions on Electroplating Technologies, 5th February 2011, Gurgaon A seminar on ‘Innovative Solutions on Electroplating Technologies’ was held recently. It emphasized on the various challenges faced by electroplaters and focused on the new corrosion resistance technologies in the electroplating industry.

with a participation of more than 110 people from a diverse setof companies such as Lumax, Bajaj Electroplaters, JDEnterprises, Victora Tools.

For the global automotive manufacturers to survivechallenges like stiff competition, cost pressure,excessive production capacity, there is a need to focus

Organized by SAEINDIA (Northern Section), the event started with a presentation by Maruti Suzuki India Limited on its experience of ELV implementation in its product lineup. This was followed by case study on the challenges faced by the electroplating industry.Electroplating, which is useful as it not only makes the surface attractive, but also ensures protection of the surface against corrosion and for repairing of finer machine parts.

The event also covered areas like future technologies, application and

In IC engines, gasoline direct injection (GDI) is a variant of fuelinjection employed in modern 2 & 4 stroke gasoline engines.The gasoline is highly pressurized, and injected via a common rail fuelline directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder, as opposedto conventional multi-point fuel injection that happens in the intake tractor cylinder port.

In some applications, gasoline direct injection enables stratified fuelcharge (ultra lean burn) combustion for improved fuel efficiency, andreduced emission levels at low load.

process of zinc protector technologies, complete chrome free technology and recent trends in electroplating & geomet applications.

The seminar saw an overwhelming response

on minimizing cost and maximizing efficiency.

Upfront design validation is crucial and engineers need a robust,integrated analysis toolset to assure success in this field.Virtualsimulation tools can enable the Automotive Industry to shorten up theproduct development time as well as cost.

The seminar gave an overview of the simulation tools available for studying the linear, nonlinear, and transient dynamic load cases using only a single simulation tool. It witnessed an overwhelming participation of over 60 participants from OEMs and automotive suppliers.

A welcome address by Dr.Tapan Sahoo (Secretary, SAENIS) marked the beginning of the seminar wherein he emphasised on the need for

Gasoline Direct Injection

shorter product development cycle along with superior quality.

Application experts from Dassault Systems Simulia Pvt Ltd, delivered sessions on process integration and design exploration, durability analysis, ride and handling. The seminar concluded with an insightful session of case studies on occupant safety presented by the worldwide OEMs.

In direct gasoline-injection engines, the Air/Fuel mixture is formed directly in the combustion chamber. During the intake stroke, only combustion air is drawn in through the open intake valve, the fuel being injected at high pressure into the combustion chamber by a high-pressure pump

compressing the fuel to the high pressure level required in thefuel rail. The injectors are attached to the fuel rail meter andatomize the fuel extremely fast and under high pressure in orderto achieve the best possible mixture formation directly in thecombustion chamber.

The engine management system continually chooses amongthree combustion modes: Ultra lean burn, Stoichiometric, andFull power output. Each mode is characterized by the air-fuelratio. The stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for gasoline is 14.7:1 by

weight, but ultra lean mode can involve ratios as high as 65:1. These mixtures are much leaner than in a conventional engine and reduce fuel consumption considerably.

The contents of the program were well appreciated by the participants who primarily constituted of experienced people from the field of Computer Aided Engineering.
