Preface
Design and development are the aspirations of tomorrow’s technologies for aero and
auto industries to be alive in the competitive world, where cost-effective solutions,
improvements in greenhouse environment, longevity/life cycle, eco-friendly materials and manufacturing, certification and government legislation demands are
becoming stringent. The aerospace/automotive industries are looking for prominent
solutions to improve their performance in air/road. Both the industries have come to
symbolize the essence of utilizing the state-of-the-art and cutting edge technologies
for satisfying the customer demands. Perhaps more than any other single icon, it is
associated with a desire for independence and freedom of movement; an expression
of economic status. For the next decades, they are marching towards a new concept
designs, analysis and manufacturing technologies, where more swing is for
improved performance through specific and/or multifunctional linguistic design
aspect to downsize the system, improve the weight-to-strength ratio, fuel efficiency,
make better the operational capability at room and elevated temperatures, reduce
wear and tear, NVH aspects while balancing the challenges of beyond Euro VI
emission norms, greenhouse effects and recyclable materials. The conference covered the research areas such as additive manufacturing, aerodynamics, CAD, CFD,
cryogenics, design engineering, environment, finite element method, fuels and
energy source, hybrid and electric vehicles, instrumentation and sensors, modeling
and simulation, manufacturing, materials, NVH, optimization technologies, product
development, propulsion systems, quality, reliability and durability, safety and risk
assessment, sustainable manufacturing, UAVs and autonomous systems and vehicle
dynamics and control. The conference aimed at addressing these issues of tomorrow
where academia—industry—R&D partnerships and collaborative programs can be
shared and implemented. The organizers of the 4th International Conference on
Innovative Design, Analysis and Development Practices in Aerospace and
Automotive Engineering (I-DAD 2020) wish to provide a platform for deliberations
on design engineering, numerical methods, analysis/optimization techniques, life
cycle engineering, system engineering, configuration managements, advanced
