Design and experimental validation stages of an independent front suspension (IFS) that is designed for truck tractors articulated commercial vehicles are summarised. Firstly, the geometry, which satisfies required conditions minimum deviation camber angle track width during wheel travel, obtained within given design volume by using Multibody Systems (MBS) Experiments (DOE) approaches. Subseque...

Abstract: In this paper a three dimensional non-linear model has been derived to describe the dynamics of an unstable moment exchange unicycle robot. The robot uses a driving wheel to provide stabilization in longitudinal direction, while a second moment exchange wheel with a large inertia is used for stabilization in lateral direction. For validation purposes, the resulting equations of motion...

Abstract This paper discussed the performance changes under a rated operation state and permanent magnet loss-of-field fault of 5KW synchronous motor (PMSM) in 200 mm shaftless rimless thruster. These key parameters include air gap flux density, back electromotive force, output torque, current magnetic field. Using these to analyze running provides reference for early diagnosis at simulation le...

In this investigation, experiments were carried out to understand the influence of various grinding parameters like wheel speed, workspeed and depth of cut on the grinding temperature at the surface of the Al-SiCP composite workpiece with different grinding wheels. The temperature distribution within the workpiece was studied by simulating the grinding process and using finite element analysis ...
