This paper proposes a double layered multi parameters braking energy recovery control strategy for Hybrid Electric Vehicle, which can combine the mechanical brake system with motor in process to achieve higher utilization efficiency and at same time ensure that vehicle has sufficient performance safety performance. The first layer of proposed this aims improve force distribution coefficient fro...

The Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is the most common safety system in the vehicles, which works to increase the generating braking force between the tire and the road surface in way to keep the stability in vehicles during braking. The high nonlinearity due to the interaction between the tire and road, the uncertainties in vehicle dynamics always exist and using the standard PID controller wil...

OBJECTIVE To study the limitations in function and adjustment strategies of lower limb amputees in gait termination. DESIGN Observational cohort study. SETTING University Medical Centre. PARTICIPANTS Unilateral transfemoral and transtibial amputees, and able-bodied control subjects. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Leading limb preference, temporal variables, lower limb joint angles, ground reacti...

The interaction between fascicle and tendinous tissues (TT) in short-contact drop jumps (DJ) with three different drop heights [low (Low), optimal (OP), and high (High)] was examined with 11 subjects. The ground reaction force (F(z)) and ankle and knee joint angles were measured together with real-time ultrasonography (fascicle length) and electromyographic activities of the medial gastrocnemiu...

This study used a video-based braking simulation dual task to carry out a preliminary evaluation of the effect of a sudden brake warning system (SBWS) in a leading passenger vehicle on the response time of the following driver. The primary task required the participants (N=25, 16 females, full NZ license holders) to respond to sudden braking manoeuvres of a lead vehicle during day and night dri...

BACKGROUND Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a prevalent orthopedic problem in children ages 10 to 16years. Although genetic, physiological and biomechanical factors are considered to contribute to the onset and progression of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between spinal deformity and i...

The dynamic strength index (DSI), often calculated as the ratio of countermovement jump (CMJ) propulsion peak force to isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) peak force, is said to inform whether ballistic or maximal strength training is warranted for a given athlete. CMJ propulsion peak force is highly influenced by jump strategy, however, which is not highlighted by the DSI alone. This study aimed t...
