Influence of Active Camber Control on Steering Feel

On Torque Control of Vehicle Handling and Steering Feel for Avoidance Maneuver with Electric Power Steering

This paper evaluates EPS control strategies for improving vehicle handling and steering feel during high speed avoidance maneuver. Theoretical analysis of frequency response of steering angle and vehicle lateral acceleration relative to steering torque input is performed. Closed-loop simulation studies are also conducted by adopting a driver model to describe the human steering behavior. Based ...

Active Tape Steering Control System

Abstract: Lateral tape motion (LTM) in tape drives hinders accurate servo head positioning and can cause damage to the tape. It is one of the major obstacles to developing high density, high performance tape drives. This paper presents the development an active tape steering system to reduce LTM. A robust controller is designed using the Robust Bode (RBode) Plot, which translates an robust perf...

Aiaa 2002–0413 Active Flow Control of Separation on a Wing with Oscillatory Camber

Aiaa 2001–0293 Active Control of Separation on a Wing with Conformal Camber

A preliminary investigation of a wing with a conformal camber is discussed. The wing uses an adaptive actuator mounted internally to alter the shape of the suction surface which results in a change in the effective camber by increasing the maximum thickness and moving the location of maximum thickness aft. Since the actuator motion can be altered continuously, this allows the wing shape to be e...

Effect of steering model fidelity on subjective evaluation of truck steering feel

The steering behaviour in a driving simulator has a significant influence on a driving realism. This study investigates the influence of the complexity of a steering-system model on the subjective assessment of truck steering feel in on-centre handling. Ten subjects drove a highway task with and without lateral wind disturbance with 4 steering-system model variants. The results show that detail...
