In general three wheelers are one of the most popular city transport vehicles in the world and particularly in developing countries especially for short hauls. In the present work finite element model of three wheeled motor vehicle chassis has been developed using ANSYS software by taking into account the chassis longitudinal/cross members, the suspensions, the axles and the tires. Modal analys...

results mean age was 41.6 ± 9.2 for the military truck drivers and 43.4 ± 10.9 for commercial truck drivers (p > 0.05). no significant difference between military and commercial drivers was found in terms of driving experience, number of mvcs, binocular va, frequency of color vision defects and cs scores. in contrast, the last ocular examination was significantly earlier in military drivers tha...

In this paper, the performance of the mobile phone handset antenna–chassis combination is analyzed based on an approximate decomposition of the waves on the structure into two resonant wavemodes: the antenna-element wavemode and the chassis wavemode. A double resonator equivalent circuit model is presented and used to estimate the impedance bandwidth and the respective distribution of radiation...

Motivated by the field sta routing and scheduling problem of an Austrian infrastructure service provider, which involves the planning of subroutes, we study the truck and trailer routing problem (TTRP) [2]. In the TTRP, two types of customers are considered: customers that can be visited by a truck pulling a trailer (denoted as vehicle customers) and customers that can only be visited by a truc...

The purpose of this study is to clarify the chemical characterization of PM2.5 and PM10 in diesel exhaust particles (DEP). Sampling of PM2.5 and PM10 in DEP was carried out in November 1999 using an automobile exhaust testing system at the National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory, with a diesel truck (engine type: direct injection, displacement: 7,961 cc, carrying weight: 2,020 kg, eq...

Identification of efficient key enzymes in biosynthesis pathway and optimization of the fitness between functional modules and chassis are important for improving the production of target compounds. In this study, the taxadiene biosynthesis pathway was firstly constructed in yeast by transforming ts gene and overexpressing erg20 and thmgr. Then, the catalytic capabilities of six different geran...

1 The traffic flow heterogeneity caused by the different car-following dynamics among the different types 2 of vehicles has drawn increasing attention recently. This paper explores the characteristics of the four 3 types of car-truck car-following combinations, car-following-car (CC), car-following-truck (CT), truck4 following-car (TC) and truck-following-truck (TT), and their impacts on traffi...

The solution to the problem of increasing productivity tow trucks and cranes on chassis serial cars largely depends issues mastering production new types heavy lifting capacity, development creation progressive technological processes maintenance operation. Compared a simple truck, vehicles equipped with manipulator have number advantages: higher technical economic indicators; ability vary carr...

In this research, Ride quality of a three-axle truck is investigated to understand its vibration specifications and influence of it on special load. The truck is Benz 2624, and the load is rather sensitive to vibrations. The system is considered for an off-road duty. Hence, the vehicle is modeled as a nineteen-degree of freedom system and its equations of motion are derived by employing Lagrang...

A nanovehicle with a new photoactive moiety has been synthesized. The incorporation of the azobenzene chassis allows for potential wormlike movement accompanying the rolling behavior of the wheels. Two versions, the fullerene-wheeled and carborane-wheeled nanoworms, were synthesized to examine the solution-based photoisomerization yields of the chassis.
