Design and Control of Automotive Propulsion Systems

Dr. Zongxuan Sun is an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. He was a researcher from 2000 to 2007 at the General Motors Research and Development Center in Warren, Michigan. Dr. Sun received his BS in automatic control from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in 1995, and his MS and PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in 1998 and 2000, respectively. He has published more than 90 refereed technical papers and received 19 U.S. patents. His research interests include controls and mechatronics with applications to the automotive propulsion systems.Dr. Guoming (George) Zhu is a professor of mechanical engineering and electrical/computer engineering at Michigan State University. His BS and MS (1982 and 1984, respectively) were from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in China. He has authored or coauthored more than 140 refereed technical papers and received 40 U.S. patents. He was an associate editor for ASME Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control and a member of the editorial board of International Journal of Powertrain. Dr. Zhu is a Fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

"This book brings together the major propulsion system components with control oriented models and actuators to enable software and hardware-in-the-loop simulations. ... This book will provide students with a detailed set of component models and simulation tools to learn Rapid Control Prototyping methods." -Douglas J. Nelson, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech
