Many patents have suggested that spinning the aircraft wheel before touchdown would lessen tyre wear as indicated by landing smoke and rubber deposites on the runway caused by skidding wheel at the point of impact. In this paper, the required torque to spin the aircraft wheel at approach speed has been calculated using ANSYS Workbench CFX, which is used to determine the wheel aerodynamic forces...

This paper describes an implemented design of an autonomous vehicle used in precision agriculture for weed and crop map construction with special focus on the onboard controlsystem, the embedded system and the datacommunication system. The vehicle is four wheel driven and four wheel steered (eight DC motors in total) with dimension of approx. 1x1x1 meters. It is constructed with four simular wh...

A method for kinematics modeling of a six-wheel Rocker-Bogie mobile robot is described in detail. The forward kinematics is derived by using wheel Jacobian matrices in conjunction with wheel-ground contact angle estimation. Te inverse kinematics is to obtain the wheel velocities and steering angles from the desired forward velocity and turning rate of the robot. Traction Control also developed ...

An exploratory computational investigation using RANS & URANS was carried out to understand the aerodynamics around an isolated single rotating wheel with decreasing ground proximity. The wheel was initially modelled in free air conditions, then with decreasing ground proximity and increased yaw angle with rotational speeds. Three speeds of rotation were applied to the wheel so that the effect ...

This paper describes the theoretical and experimental investigations of the key components and also the performance analysis of a rotary wheel for using as a solid desiccant dehumidifier and also indirect evaporator cooling system. Solid desiccants have long been used in dehumidification and cooling systems for energy efficiency or reduce electricity. Although many mathematical models on th...

direct yaw moment control systems (dyc) can maintain the vehicle in the driver’s desired path by distributing the asymmetric longitudinal forces and the generation of the control yaw moment (cym). in order to achieve the superior control performance, intelligent usage of lateral forces is also required. the lateral wheel forces have an indirect effect on the cym and based upon their directions,...

We introduce new classes of valid inequalities, called wheel inequalities, for the stable set polytope P G of a graph G. Each \wheel connguration" gives rise to two such inequalities. The simplest wheel connguration is an \odd" subdivision W of a wheel, and for these we give necessary and suucient conditions for the wheel inequality to be facet-inducing for P W. Generalizations arise by allowin...

In this paper, an Ultrasonic testing method for inservice wheel by use of phased array technology is introduced. To meet the ultrasonic test criterion of inservice CRH wheel, groups of phased array probes and conventional probes are combined used. By study echo wave in wheel rim and wheel disk form different probes, defect analyzing methods in wheel rim and wheel disk are studied. Tests on CRH ...
