The characterisation of transportation hazards is paramount for protective packaging validation. It is used to estimate and simulate the loads and stresses occurring during transport which are essential to optimise packaging and ensure that products will resist the transportation environment with the minimum amount of protective material. Characterising road transportation vibrations is rather ...

Understanding the behavior of human body under the influence of vibration is of great importance for the optimal motor vehicle system design. Therefore, great efforts are being done in order to discover as many information about the influence of vibration on human body as possible. So far the references show that the major scientific attention has been paid to vertical vibration, although inten...

The biodynamic response of the seated human body has been investigated with 20 males exposed to upward and downward shocks at 13 fundamental frequencies (1-16 Hz) and 18 magnitudes (up to ±8.3 ms-2). For 1- and 2- degree-of-freedom models, the stiffness and damping coefficients were obtained by fitting seat acceleration waveforms predicted from the measured force to the measured seat accelerati...

The core theme of the paper is misfire detection using random forest algorithm and decision tree based machine learning models for emission minimization in gasoline passenger vehicles. The engine block vibration signals are used for misfire detection. The signal is a combination of all vibration emissions of various engine components and also contains the vibration signature due to misfire. The...

We consider an oscillator with a random mass for which the particles of the surrounding medium adhere to the oscillator for some random time after the collision (Brownian motion with adhesion). This is another form of a stochastic oscillator, different from oscillator usually studied that is subject to a random force or having random frequency or random damping. We calculated first two moments ...

Abstract Random vibrations occur in many engineering systems including buildings subject to earthquake excitation, vehicles traveling on a rough road and off-shore platform random waves. Analysis of for linear has been well studied. For nonlinear systems, particularly multi-degree-of-freedom however, there are still challenges analyzing the probability distribution transient responses system. M...
