چکیده

Plus-sizing, or the fitting of larger diameter rims and lower profile tires to vehicles, continues to be a significant commercial force in the tire marketplace. When offering plus-size fitments to customers, many sellers simply offer “what fits” on a given vehicle. However, the various choices made by the seller, such as wheel width, wheel offset, inflation pressure, and so on, have the potential to influence the life of the tires and the dynamic performance of the vehicle itself. This presentation will discuss the influence of these larger and wider tires and wheels on basic vehicle handling and limit stability. In addition, matching tire size to wheel width and tire pressure to vehicle load will be covered, since these easily overlooked parameters must be correct to protect tire durability. Potential risks from the change of wheel/tire weight and inertia, as well as steering geometry, will also be covered.

Sizing of a Packed Bed Storage for Solar Air Heating Systems (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Packed bed units generally, represent the most suitable storage units for air heating solar systems. In these systems the storage unit receives the heat from the collector during the collection period and discharges the heat to the building at the retrieval process. A method for sizing of packedbed storage in an air heating system is represented. The design is based on the K-S curves, which hav...

Optimal Placement and Sizing of Fault Current Limiter in a Real Network: a Case Study (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this paper, the effect of number and fault current limiter(FCL) location has been investigated in order to have maximum reduction of short circuit current level in all buses in a real network. To do so, the faulty buses were identified in terms of short circuit current level by computing short circuits on the desired network. Then, while the fault current limit was modeled, its optimal locat...

iMAPS: A Review of Software Sizing for Cost Estimation

A variety of Software Sizing approaches have been conjectured in the literature. While many of these approaches have been used for Software Cost Estimation, none were specifically designed for Software Costing. This paper reviews current methods of Software Sizing to determine their suitability for Software Cost Estimation. The approach differs from previous approaches in that it is based on a ...
