In this paper, we developed truck fuel consumption models for the particular assistance of professionals in charge road project valuation terms predicting used by trucks, which is an important topic on vehicle operating costs to be considered benefit–cost analysis projects. On other hand, has a direct impact emissions atmosphere, and thus future research can conducted regarding estimations abou...

Automobile sector is always focusing on enhancing level of comfort, fuel economy, customer satisfaction and safety. Vehicle weight reduction increases the overall fuel efficiency. Use of composite materials has made it possible to reduce the weight of the vehicle, without reduction in load carrying capacity. Now a day's manufacturers and researchers are trying to replace conventional material p...

Firstly this article briefly describes the technology of topology optimization. Then the design space of frame of aircraft deicing vehicle is established and the model of finite element is gained by meshing. Loads and DOF constraints are applied based on the analysis of working conditions. The results of topology optimization are attained by calculation. On the basis of aforementioned results, ...

MDG-1, a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from Ophiopogon japonicus, has potent hypoglycemic and weight control effects. We investigated the impact of MDG-1 on body weight, indirect calorimetry, body composition, plasma biochemical indices and obesity-related mitochondrial activity in diet-induced obese mice. Obese C57BL/6 mice induced by a high fat diet were given either vehicle or vehic...

Reducing weight of vehicle components will contribute towards overall weight reduction of a vehicle, lower its energy consumption demand, therefore, will improve its fuel efficiency. Material resources will be saved too. The objective of this research is reduce weight of an existing steering knuckle component of a local car model by applying shape optimization technique. A finite element modeli...

Previous research has shown that mifepristone can prevent and reverse weight gain in animals and human subjects taking antipsychotic medications. This proof-of-concept study tested whether a more potent and selective glucocorticoid receptor antagonist could block dietary-induced weight gain and increase insulin sensitivity in mice. Ten-week-old, male, C57BL/6J mice were fed a diet containing 60...
