Nebrija Research Group on Automotive Engineering Acronym: GREEN


Abstract and Research Lines

Abstract:The group focuses on vehicle dynamics, including analysis, simulation, design, optimization, test, sensorization, vibroacoustic dynamic data acquisition and analysis.
Current projects mainly focus on the recovery of thermal and mechanical energy recovery in vehicles (Energy Harvesting) and in the development of low-cost and reliable electronic products for vehicle instrumentation and data acquisition.

Research Lines:

  • Energy Harvesting in vehicles.
  • Thermal energy harvesting using thermoacoustic systems.
  • Mathematical-experimental development of tyre models.
  • Identification of parameters in vehicle systems.
  • Dynamics of railway vehicles.
  • Minimally invasive and low-cost sensorization of vehicles.
