In this paper, a new cascaded wheel-slip control strategy based on wheel slip and wheel acceleration measurements is presented. This new algorithm is able to stabilize globally and asymptotically the wheel slip around any prescribed setpoint, both in the stable and unstable regions of the tyre.

The multibody dynamics analysis software, AUTOSIM, is used to develop automated linear and nonlinear models for the hand derived motorcycle models presented in (Sharp, 1971, 1994b). A more comprehensive model, based on previous work (Sharp and Limebeer, 2001), is also derived and extended. One version of the code uses AUTOSIM to produce a FORTRAN or C program which solves the nonlinear equation...

The present investigation aims at the study of properties of concrete in which stone dust is used as a partial replacement for coarse sand and tyre-chips of size 4.7 to 10 mm as partial replacement of coarse aggregate by weight.

Keller, T. 2004. Soil Compaction and Soil Tillage Studies in Agricultural Soil Mechanics Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249, ISBN 91-576-6769-1 This thesis deals with various aspects of soil compaction due to agricultural field traffic, the draught force requirement of tillage implements and soil structures produced by tillage. Several field experiments were carried out to study the mechanic...

The adsorption of toluene from aqueous solution using waste tyre rubber granules (WTRG) was investigated in a batch system. The effect of various factors such as contact time, amount of adsorbent, size of adsorbent particles, and temperature of solution on the adsorption capacity of WTRG was determined. The equilibrium contact time was obtained to be 30 minutes indicating fast adsorption. The a...
