Abstract: For the evaluation of the effectiveness of the brake system, most countries have a system of technical review. The test of brake inspection is done on a machine called brake tester. This checkpoint is uncomfortable for the user and it consumes some time of inspection that results in longer waiting time. To minimize this problem arises in this article a methodology to predict, in a large number of occasions, the result of the inspection of the braking system without having to resort to testing inspection by brake tester. The methodology is based on an exhaustive inspection data processing as well as validation of other checkpoints already exist in reviewing ITV consisting primarily of the visual inspection of the vehicle.This electronic document is a “live” template. The various components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] are already defined on the style sheet, as illustrated by the portions given in this document.

Abstract: Tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) are primarily used in the automotive industry. Popular applications include: side frames, doors, pillars and rails. The TWB concept has several disadvantages. The most important disadvantage is the effect of the weld line on the formability of the TWB. This paper investigates the weldment quality by evaluating the localized stresses, strains and distortions that develop during welding. For the purpose of investigation, TWBs made of 304 stainless steel and A619 low carbon steel have been numerically simulated using a finite volume formulation. Blanks with different configurations (blank sizes, thicknesses and weldment type) have been simulated, so that the optimal processing parameters for each configuration can be determined. Conclusion about the scaling effect and the residual stresses in the welded blanks could be drawn based upon the evaluation of the different configurations
