Online Estimation of Engine Driveline Dynamic Properties
This paper investigates the dynamics of the engine driveline system for achieving accurate and online diagnostics of engine conditions using instantaneous angular speed (IAS). Based on a state space modelling approach and key structures of the system, a torsional vibration model is developed and its modal properties: modal frequency, damping ratio and shapes are evaluated. Then taking the outpu...
متن کاملOptimizing Vehicle NVH Characteristics for Driveline Integration
The automotive marketplace has seen a steady increase in customer demands for quiet and more comfortable vehicles. A customer’s expectations for NVH refinement often contradicts the constraints for lightweight vehicle designs and the need for a powertrain with increased fuel efficiency. The driveline of a vehicle can be a substantial cause of NVH issues. Variants in the driveline architecture (...
متن کاملDriveline torque observer for heavy duty vehicle
In addition to fuel consumption and efficiency the expectations in driving comfort of heavy duty vehicles were substantially increased in the last years. The driveline has an essential role in drivability performance of the vehicle. Since it determines the driving efficiency as well, simple, but robust devices were quite widespread in production, but these can usually make driving more difficul...
متن کاملLate driveline left ventricular assist device infection treated with frozen-and-thawed allogeneic platelet gel.
In this case report, we report the application of frozen-and-thawed allogeneic platelet gel (PLT-gel) to treat a late driveline exit site infection in a 56-year old patient supported by a Heartware-HVAD left ventricular assist device. The treatment duration was 4 weeks and at the follow-up the skin around the exit site was free from further infection. PLT-gel can be used to treat local infectio...
متن کاملLeft ventricular assist device driveline infection and the frequency of dressing change in hospitalized patients.
OBJECTIVES To determine if driveline infection is related to dressing change frequency in hospitalized adult patients with newly implanted left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). BACKGROUND Guidelines do not exist for the frequency of driveline exit-site dressing change in hospitalized patients resulting in wide variation in practice. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted on 68...
