Abstract The axle load acts on the box unit and has shock-pulse nature when car is moving, that can lead to a mutual change in surface positions of roller ends with edges bearing races. ways are proposed optimize internal geometry radial end contact elements unit. It eliminate occurrence possible conditions movement rollers into thrust locking by increasing minimum limit clearance box.

Title of Document: ADAPTIVE MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL SEAT SUSPENSION FOR SHOCK MITIGATION. Harinder Jit Singh Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Norman M. Wereley Minta Martin Professor and Chair Department of Aerospace Engineering This research focuses on theoretical and experimental analysis of an adaptive seat suspension employing magnetorheological energy absorber with the objective of minim...

Computational algorithm for the solution of 2D and 3D dynamic problems of the Cosserat elasticity theory using multiprocessor computer systems is worked out. The algorithm is based on the two-cyclic splitting method with respect to the spatial variables in combination with the explicit monotone finite-difference ENO–scheme for solving 1D problems adapted for the calculation of discontinuities. ...

The menisci are two semilunar-shaped fibrocartilagenous structures, which are interposed between the femoral condyles and tibial plateaux. They have an important role in knee function. Long-term follow-up studies showed that virtually all meniscectomized knees develop arthritic changes with time. The meniscus has functions in load bearing, load transmission, shock absorption, joint stability, j...

AC interference from high voltage power lines can constitute an electric shock hazard and a threat to equipment integrity during both load and fault conditions. Mitigation systems are usually installed to reduce the touch voltages so that the nearby metallic utilities are safe. This paper discusses the states of the touch and step voltages for a few typical right-ofway systems under load and fa...
