In this paper, we investigate a generalization of the Adams-Bashforth method by using the Taylor’s series. In case of m-step method, the local truncation error can be expressed in terms of m − 1 coefficients. With an appropriate choice of coefficients, the proposed method has produced much smaller error than the original Adams-Bashforth method. As an application of the generalized Adams-Bashfor...

An in-wheel motor electric vehicle has high unsprung mass because of its in-wheel motor, which decreases vehicle ride comfort and vehicle safety. This paper presents a controllable suspension employing an optimal design hybrid damping control strategy based on ideal skyhook and groundhook as a reference. A sliding mode controller is designed to make the plant track the ideal reference model. Th...

A dynamic model of a manipulative machine for automobile clutch is setup in ADAMS and further analysis is made to an automatic clutch for AMT. Since the engaging process of clutch is complex and related to riding performance and life span of friction plate, it has to be researched intensively using modern control theory. Adaptive control is effective to avoid engine flameout, which guarantees s...

This study numerically investigates the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of an elastically mounted rigid cylinder by using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with computational fluid dynamic (CFD) tools. CFD analysis is performed for a fixed-cylinder case with Reynolds number (Re) = 104 and for a cylinder that is free to oscillate in the transverse direction and possesses a low mass...
