In this study, the performance of shred tire mixed with railway subgrade is evaluated to reduce environmental vibrations caused by trains’ passage. Since incorporating the Shred Tire seeds in soil affects on its shear strength and deformability parameters so, the first stage of the study was allocated to conducting a series of laboratory tests such as the unconfined compression test, and CBR an...

Tire recycling and reuse in North America worldwide have increased considerably, intending to reduce the harmful effects of scrap tires on environment. Accordingly, use tire derived aggregates (TDA) as backfill material civil engineering applications is rise at an unprecedented rate. However, TDA construction industry, its strength stiffness parameters properties must be evaluated. One key fact...

The current development of safety systems within the automotive industry heavily relies on the ability to perceive the environment. This is accomplished by using measurements from several di erent sensors within a sensor fusion framework. One important part of any system of this kind is an accurate model describing the motion of the vehicle. The most commonly used model for the lateral dynamics...

In this paper, a realistic simulation model for Wheeled Mobile Robot (WMR) is given by a dynamical system that switches between three models corresponding to three different tire/road contact conditions: ideal condition, skidding condition and slipping condition. Then, an algebraic based numerical identification for the discrete state (tire/road contact condition) of this switching system is pr...

in which ground glass connections could not be used because of the large size of the flasks, it was found that benzene extracts of rubber stoppers previously washed with ether and methanol still contained blue-green fluorescing substances. These extracts had the ultraviolet absorption spectra of carcinogenic hydrocarbons and other compounds of interest. This discovery seemed of such great possi...
