Drive simulation tests for electric drilling rig

Ergonomic Exposure Assessment on a Drilling Rig

Graphical and Visual Simulation of Electric Drive Systems

This paper introduces a new software environment, the Virtual Test Bed (VTB), which has been particularly developed for graphical and visual simulation of large-scale electric power systems. A possible application of the VTB to analysis of an electric drive system is also described.

Planetary Drilling Automation Blind Tests

Introduction: Commercial drilling, even deep-sea or remote, depends on human teleoperation. Lightspeed delays mean that coring and drilling beyond the Moon requires automation in order to not get stuck or risk mission failure. The Drilling Automation for Mars Exploration (DAME) is a NASA project for developing critical-path drilling software technologies. The DAME project’s purpose was to devel...

Preliminary results on multi-body dynamic simulation of a new test rig for wheel-rail contact

The ability to perform rolling contact fatigue (RCF) experiments in wheel–rail material is provided by a new small–scale test rig, manifesting the actual dynamic behaviour of the railway system. In this paper, a multi-body dynamics (MBD) model is proposed, simulating the vibration behaviour of the prescribed rig. The new testing facility is modelled using a three-dimensional model of the vehicl...

Type-2 Fuzzy Braking-Torque Electronic Stability Control for Four-Wheel Independent Drive Electric Vehicles

The electronic stability control (ESC) system is one of the most important active safety systems in vehicles. Here, we intend to improve the Electronic stability of four in-wheel motor drive electric vehicles. We will design an electronic stability control system based on Type-2 fuzzy logic controller. Since, Type-2 fuzzy controller has uncertainty in input interval furthermore of output fuzzin...
