SUMMARY Details are given of the static calibration of a hemispherrcal-headed drfferentral pressure yawmeter, 0.6 to 1.2; rn the Mach number range from the xnstrument has a central pitot pressure hole and two pairs of holes m perpendroular planes for flow directron measurement. The results show that ths sensitivity to yaw (for angles up to 8') as determined from pressure differences between opp...

BACKGROUND Most cases of facial asymmetry involve yaw deformity, and determination of the yaw correction level is very difficult. METHODS We use three-dimensional soft tissue simulation to determine the yaw correction level. This three-dimensional simulation is based on the addition of cephalometric prediction to gradual yaw correction. Optimal yaw correction is determined visually, and an in...

An ultrasonic stimulus induced negative phonotactic steering in the yaw axis of tethered, flying Australian field crickets. The forewings, hindwings and twisting of the thorax generated the forces which induced the yaw turn. However, abdominal ruddering did not contribute to yaw turns. Each aspect of the yaw steering response depended upon the stimulus intensity. At higher ultrasonic intensitie...

In this paper, the composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) technique is applied for yaw tracking control of active front steering system with the objectives to improve the transient performance of yaw rate response. For lateral and yaw dynamics analysis, nonlinear and linear vehicle models are utilized as actual vehicle plant and for controller design respectively. The designed controller is evaluat...

In this paper, we develop a new online walking controller for biped robots, which integrates neural-network estimator and an incremental learning mechanism to improve the control performance in dynamic environment. With aid of iteration algorithm updating, some newly incoming data can be used straightforwardly update into original well-trained model, order avoid time-consuming retraining proced...

AbshocT-The accurate measurement of vehicle yaw rate is vital for vehicle dynamics control, such as yaw control and traction control. Generally vehicle yaw rate is measured by gyro that will cost too much to he wed commercially as an on-vehicle sensor. Based on soft sensor technique in inferential control theory, a novel method for the estimation of vehicle yaw rate is proposed, The estimation ...

Simulation results on dynamic yaw stability derivatives of a gull bird by means of computational fluid dynamics are presented. Two different kinds of motions are used for determining the dynamic yaw stability derivatives Nr C and β& N C . Concerning the first one, simple lateral translation and yaw rotary motions in yaw are considered. The second one consists of combined motions. To determine d...

Electric vehicles with multiple motors allow torque-vectoring, which generates a yaw moment by assigning different motor torques at the left and right wheels. This permits designing the steady-state cornering response according to several vehicle handling quality targets. For example, as widely discussed in the literature, to make the vehicle more sports-oriented, it is possible to reduce the u...
