This brief provides an overview on the most relevant nonlinear phenomena in internal combustion engines with a particular emphasis on the use of nonlinear circuits in their modelling and control.

The brief contains advanced methodologies ?based on neural networks and soft-computing approaches among others? for the compensation of engine nonlinearities by using the combustion pressure signal and proposes several techniques for the reconstruction of this signal on the basis of different engine parameters, including engine-block vibration and crankshaft rotational speed. Another topic of the book is the diagnosis of the nonlinearities of injection systems and their balancing, which is a mandatory task for the new generation of gasoline direct injection engines.

The authors come from both industrial and academic backgrounds, so the brief represents an important tool both for researchers and practitioners in the automotive industry.

Dr. Eng. Ferdinando Taglialatela Scafati got a Master degree in Chemical Engineering at the University of Naples “Federico II” in 2001. In 2002 he joined STMicroelectronics working as a researcher in the Soft Computing Group - Corporate R&D. In this period he focused his activities on the design of models for Automotive systems and on the use of soft cmputing techniques for IC Engine Control. In 2005 he moved to the Automotive Group of STMicroelectronics where he currently works. Here he is involved in the design, implementation and validation of engine control systems for traditional and innovative power trains. He is a Member of Technical Staff of STMicroelectronics as recognized expert in the field of electronic control of power train system and engine management. He is author of several patents and publications in peer review journals, and he collaborates with several original equipment manufacturers, universities and international research centers.

Mario Lavorgna was born June 26th, 1957 in Rome, Italy. He got a Master degree in Physics in 1982 at the University of Naples, Federico II. Until 1987 he worked as a researcher in General Relativity and Cosmology at the University of Naples, Federico II, publishing several scientific papers in international scientific journals. Since 1987 he has worked at STMicroelectronics, where he drives R&D activities in advanced microelectronic applications, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, soft computing methodologies in different application areas: consumer, industrial, robotics, automotive. He is currently in charge of mass market system and application for the Automotive Group at STMicroelectronics in Naples, Italy, developing electronic control solutions for the next generation of power trains, cooperating with key original equipment manufacturers and international research centers. He is author of several patents, technical books and scientific papers.
