Vehicle Speed Control to Damp the Transient Output Response

Robust Output Fuzzy Control: Application to Vehicle Lateral Dynamics

This paper deals with the robust control for Four Wheels Steering (4WS) vehicle dynamics when the road adhesion conditions change and the sideslip angle is unavailable for measurement. The nonlinear model of the vehicle, is firstly represented by a uncertain Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model. Next, robust output stabilization of vehicle is considered. The controller and the observer are designed in ter...

Transient response of sap flow to wind speed

Transient responses of sap flow to step changes in wind speed were experimentally investigated in a wind tunnel. A Granier-type sap flow sensor was calibrated and tested in a cylindrical tube for analysis of its transient time response. Then the sensor was used to measure the transient response of a well-watered Pachira macrocarpa plant to wind speed variations. The transient response of sap fl...

Transient hypotension after high-speed head-on motor vehicle collision.

A 43-year-old woman was taken to the accident and emergency department after a high-speed motor vehicle collision. She had only minor external injuries, but developed an episode of hypotension, which rapidly responded to fluid infusion. Chest X-ray showed a widened superior mediastinum. Computed tomography confirmed thoracic aortic injury. In patients with high-speed deceleration injury, even t...
