Advanced Structures India was established with a motive to address the rising demand for better engineered products in India, particularly in Passenger, Commercial and Agricultural Vehicles segment
2. Introduction
Advanced Structures India Pvt
Ltd has been established to cater
to the rising needs for better
engineered products in
passenger, commercial and
agricultural vehicle sectors in our
part of the world, especially
India.
Our capabilities in field testing
and advanced simulation puts us
in a unique position to be able
to provide engineering support
at every stage of product
development.
3. Why partner with us?
ASI
Various Government
Labs
International Consulting
Companies
Why partner with us?
Focus Developmental Testing.
Homologation and
Certification.
Both Homologation and
Product Development
All activities, teams and
resources at ASI are focused
towards only one objective:
Faster Product Development
A phone call
away
All engineering delivery is done from
our facility in Bangalore. Flexibility of
our team members will ensure
minimum response time.
Large scale operations,
Inefficient workforce
and slow processes likely
to affect overall
response time.
Engineering delivery is
handled by overseas
teams.
Product Development is
inherently full of uncertainties
and we are the quickest to
respond.
Cost
Effectiveness
Local delivery ensure local cost.
Furthermore, our internally
developed tools and processes allow
us to automate a variety of activities.
Flexibility leaves a lot to
be desired.
Cost effectiveness is not
a strength here.
Best bang for buck.
Experience and
Competence
We have delivered turnkey projects
starting from electric smart two
wheelers to a family of Bus Body
Structures.
In house teams have not
participated in product
development processes.
Limited information,
benchmarks and
database on Indian
market/road/consumers.
Developing products that are
best suited for your target
market.
4. Bus Body Engineering
Safety, comfort and higher performance
requirements are pushing the industry
towards better engineered buses.
Competition in the industry is rising and
this calls for more efficient development
and manufacturing processes.
Banking on the experience and
capabilities developed at ASI while
delivering turnkey bus body development
projects to leading players, ASI is your
perfect partner for development of next
generation bus bodies and for setting up
complementary manufacturing processes.
5. Automotive Testing
Our Capabilities in testing and data
acquisition has a force multiplier effect on
your internal product development teams.
Our Capabilities in testing:
• Road Load Data Acquisition (Strain, wheel
displacements and all relevant
parameters)
• NVH Testing
• AC performance testing
• Industry leading signal processing and
data analysis tools.
Following aspects set us apart from
competition:
• OEM trained testing team.
• All instruments used by ASI are duly
calibrated.
• Industry benchmarked SOPs for testing
and reporting.
6. User Experience Benchmarking
We conduct a series of over 70 tests, measuring all aspects in which a
user interacts with a vehicle. This gives product planners a bird’s eye
view of the market and forms the basis for product positioning.
Brief overview of the tests:
• NVH benchmarking: Up to 20 Locations inside the cabin.
• Effort measurement: Steering, Pedal and others.
• AC performance: Cooling gradient at various locations inside the
cabin.
• Vehicle dynamics measurements
• Seat performance: Measurement of seat pressure map in various
drive cycles and road profiles coupled with our in house tools for
comfort and support ratings.
• Fuel Efficiency Testing: Development of duty cycles and
measurement of real world fuel efficiency on a large number of cars
at very high efficiency.
7. Automotive Product Development
As more and more companies take up
complicated product development
activities, our simulation and testing
capabilities are the perfect compliment
for your in house teams.
Please refer the subsequent slides to
know how we can support in your next
ambitious project.

8. The philosophy of approaching every
problem with both simulation and testing
methods simultaneously enables ASI to:
• Deliver more accurate results faster.
• Validate the solution through actual
field testing.

simultaneously
Our Approach
Testing enables
engineers to give
accurate inputs to
simulation tools for
reduced no of
iterations and more
realistic results.
More accurate
simulation enables
faster products
development with
reduced number of
prototypes.
9. Our role in overall development process
Benchmarking
•Vehicle and sub-system level
benchmarking of NVH, Fatigue
and other properties for
target setting.
Support for more
accurate FE Models
•Property measurement
activities like Modal
parameter extraction and
Composite laminate ASTM
testing etc.
•Test-CAE correlation
•FE model updation based on
test data.
Prototype Testing and
validation
•Testing of prototypes against
previously set targets.
•Gap estimation
Troubleshooting
•Testing and simulation
activities for noise and
vibration control in existing
vehicles or sub-systems.
•Field failure root cause
identification and solution.
•Analysis of vibration
behaviour of structural parts
using CAE and testing tools for
design modification for
compatibility with specific
engines/transmission/other
operational inputs
