Many people experience vibration effects on whole-body throughout their lives frequently. Vibrating energy absorbed is exposed all-body caused with vibration hazard in the vertically on body and biodynamic responses from body in speed 2.37 to 5.14 m/s could captivate with car seat on user body, so the vibration energy transferred to a seated people body. In this paper, the human body is modeled...

Context. If relativistic particle acceleration takes place in colliding-wind binaries, hard X-rays and γ-rays are expected through inverse Compton emission, but to date these have never been unambiguously detected. Aims. To detect this emission, observations of η Carinae were performed with INTEGRAL, leveraging its high spatial resolution. Methods. Deep hard X-ray images of the region of η Car ...

Newton’s second law describes the motion of the center of mass of most objects that we encounter in everyday life, including the complex motion of a spoon when we eat, the acceleration of a car, and even the trajectories of planets and stars. Only if objects move extremely fast, do we need to replace Newton’s second law with Einstein’s theory of relativity, and only if objects are extremely sma...

In this paper, the effects of roll center height of McPherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle are first studied, and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual Class A vehicle. ADAMS/Car software was used for the analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center. Next, optimization...

Brechue, WF, Mayhew, JL, and Piper, FC. Characteristics of sprint performance in college football players. J Strength Cond Res 24(5): 1169–1178, 2010—To investigate sprinting strategy, acceleration and velocity patterns were determined in college football players (n = 61) during performance of a 9.1-, 36.6-, and 54.9-m sprints. Acceleration and velocity were determined at 9.1-m intervals during...

A novel model based scheme for the state estimation during anti-lock braking is presented based on a LuGre tyre model and a quarter car model. The wheel angular speed and longitudinal vehicle acceleration information are used to design a nonlinear observer based on the unscented Kalman filter theory. This nonlinear observer provides the necessary information for the anti-lock control despite th...

An analytical investigation of a half-car model with passenger dynamics, subjected to random road disturbance, is performed. Two diierent methods of deening the performance index for optimal controller design are proposed. Nondeterministic inputs are applied to simulate the road surface conditions more realistically. Results obtained illustrate that using an optimal state-feedback controller, w...

STUDY DESIGN Seventeen healthy volunteers were subjected to right and left lateral impacts 5.0, 6.8, 9.2, and 16.8 m/s acceleration while positioned in a Volvo car seat with lap and shoulder seat belt restraint in laboratory setting. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using a standard 3-point lap and shoulder seat belt and Volvo car seat on the response of the...
