Optimal Roll Center Height of Front McPherson Suspension System for a Conceptual Class A Vehicle

In this paper, the effects of roll center height of McPherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle are first studied, and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual Class A vehicle. ADAMS/Car software was used for the analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center. Next, optimization...

The Effect of a 6-Week Core Stability Training Program on the Stroke Index and Front Crawl Record of Male Swimmers

Objective For optimal performance of swimmers, it is necessary to determine a level for the functional interaction of upper and lower limbs. This level, created by more than 20 pairs of muscles, is the core of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of six weeks of core stability exercise on the stroke index and front crawl record of male swimmers. Methods In this quasi-...
