Energy dissipators, isolated-resistant and specific structural forms for earthquake resistance are popular topics in the research to improve shock-resistance. In this work, experimental methods were used to investigate the property of low yield strength steel. Carbon content in LYS material is lower than that in other steels; the ultimate stress is three times the yield stress. The ultimate elo...

This paper presents the results of a study of using a neural network black box model of a shock absorber of an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle, four wheel drive, off road, single person vehicle) for accurate load modeling. This study is part of a larger investigation into the dynamic behavior and associated fatigue of an ATV vehicle, which is conducted under the auspices of the Fatigue Design and Eval...

Many processes in the body are effected and regulated by highly specialized protein molecules: These molecules certainly deserve the name "biochemical nanomachines". Recent progress in single-molecule experiments and corresponding simulations with supercomputers enable us to watch these "nanomachines" at work, revealing a host of astounding mechanisms. Examples are the fine-tuned movements of t...

Active and send-active suspensions have been evaluated for application on tractor/semi-trailer trucks using a pitch plane simulation model called "VESYM". VESYM is a fully nonlinear time domain simulation model. This paper reviews the effect of alternative heavy truck suspensions on pavement damage by using the flexible pavement simulation program "VESYS". It is shown that by estimating axle ti...

By elastic mechanics, the deformation of single throttle-slice for shock absorber was analyzed, the formula of its deformation was established. According to the relation of the deformation of multi-throttle-slices with the pressure on each slice, the analytic formula of equivalent thickness of multi-throttle-slices was established. Followed is a practical example for the computation of the equi...

We study the physical origin of the low-redshift Lyα forest in hydrodynamic simulations of four cosmological models, all variants of the cold dark matter scenario. Our most important conclusions are insensitive to the cosmological model, but they depend on our assumption that the UV background declines at low redshift in concert with the declining population of quasar sources. We find that the ...

In order to investigate the effects of non-linear springs in vibrating behavior of vehicles, the independent suspension of conventional vehicles could be modeled as a non-linear single degree of freedom system. The equation of motion for the system would be a non-linear third order ordinary differential equation, when considering the elasticity of rubber bushings in joints of shock absorber. It...

This paper describes third aircraft model with 2 degrees of freedom. The aim of this study is to develop a mathematical model for investigation of adoptable landing gear vibration behavior and to design Proportional Integration Derivative (PID) classical techniques for control of active hydraulic nonlinear actuator. The parameters of controller and suspension system are adjusted according to be...
