—— This paper describes the preliminary research and implementation of an experimental test bench set up for an electric vehicle Antilock Braking System (ABS)/Traction Control System (TCS) representing the dry, wet and icy road surfaces. A Fuzzy logic based controller to control the wheel slip for electric vehicle antilock braking system is presented. The test facility comprised of an induction...

This study aims to investigate the effects of shoe traction and obstacle height on lower extremity relative phase dynamics (analysis of intralimb coordination) during walking to better understand the mechanisms employed to avoid slippage following obstacle clearance. Ten participants walked at a self-selected pace during eight conditions: four obstacle heights (0%, 10%, 20%, and 40% of limb len...

Objective: To determine the efficacy in treatment of vertically unstable sacral fractures with pelvic external fixation and skeletal traction. Patients and Methods: The pelvic external fixation and skeletal traction were applied on 12 cases of vertically unstable sacral fracture (eight males and four females, at age of 19 52 years, mean 35.2 years) including two cases of Denis Zone I, nine of Z...

As an athlete accelerates, stops, and changes direction, numerous forces are transmitted to the lower extremities. The interaction between an athlete’s shoe and the playing surface has been indicated as a factor in lower extremity injury risk. In particular, high rotational forces may result in increased injuries to the lower extremities. Rotational traction forces produced by eight different c...

The development of electromobility involves the electric cars charging infrastructure. increase number chargers poses new demands for AC power grid, especially in regard to its capacity delivering high peak power. As an alternative public urban electrified transportation systems (trams, trolleybuses, and metro) can be used supplying chargers. article discusses four options integrating with a tr...

A new homogeneous traction power supply scheme based on Vv wiring transformers and modular multilevel converters (MMC) is proposed, which due to address the electrical quality problems negative effects of splitting locomotives in electrified railways. The three-phase converter this paper adopts MMC-based active compensator (APC), can eliminate bridge arm one phase step-down isolation transforme...

To address the question of how cell-generated forces regulate the organization and function of endothelial cells, I investigated the mechanical forces in a simple model of cell-cell contact: paired cells contacting each other via a single cell-cell junction. To study the responsiveness of AJs to force, I adapted a system of microfabricated force sensors to quantitatively report both the cell-ce...

The complexity in design and dimensioning of electric traction fixed installations necessitates the development of a methodology for dimensioning based on numerical simulation models. This solution gives faster and more reliable results than those obtained by the empirical and inaccurate methods previously used. A computer aided design tool implementing this methodology is presented in this pap...
