In this paper, multi-objective uniform-diversity genetic algorithm (MUGA) with a diversity preserving mechanism called the ε-elimination algorithm is used for Pareto optimization of 5-degree of freedom vehicle vibration model considering the five conflicting functions simultaneously. The important conflicting objective functions that have been considered in this work are, namely, vertical accel...

Simulating the full dynamic response of a rolling sculpted tire requires not only taking into account various non-linearities but also considering multi-scale nature itself. On one hand, there is macroscopic behavior that operates around rotating frequency with relatively high amplitudes. other vibratory in larger window low In contrast to straightforward strategy consists using an energy-conse...

The United States Army began developing Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) in the early 1900’s. Concurrently, researchers developed and enhanced passenger and commercial ground vehicles. Although significant progress has been made for improving vehicle mobility for all ground vehicles throughout the past century, mobility has lacked a concise mutually agreed definition and analytical standardized c...

The value of the motion resistance is one important characteristics that determines technical and operational properties vehicle, in particular its fuel economy under operating conditions. This article summarizes approaches to determining rolling a wheeled vehicle straight motion, which separate case from curved motion. this parameter components along path. regularities changes two-axle curvili...

It is generally known that the groove on tire tread can increase friction force between and road surface under wet condition because of improvement drainage performance. Although wheel actual railway rolling stocks have a turning trace like tread, characteristics tangential contact wheel/rail not clarified in detail. In this study, measurement using pair small cylindrical specimens was carried ...

The purpose of this study was to (a) characterize the temporal aspects of a popular strongman event, the tire flip; (b) gain some insight into the temporal factors that could distinguish the slowest and fastest flips; and (c) obtain preliminary data on the physiological stress of this exercise. Five resistance-trained subjects with experience in performing the tire flip gave informed consent to...

In this study a real-time open loop estimate of the disturbance displacement input to the tire and an external disturbance force, representing handling and aerodynamic forces, acting on the sprung mass of a quarter-car suspension test rig was generated. This information is intended for use in active control methods applied to vehicle suspensions. This estimate is achieved with two acceleration ...

In this research study, one of the most crucial automotive engineering problems is intended to be solved. The necessity of tire pressure monitoring system is beyond doubt. Such systems are now provided relying on expensive sensors. In this study an indirect tire pressure monitoring system is proposed, utilizing identification techniques, which will reduce the cost of monitoring considerably in ...

a nonlinear model consisting “yaw, roll, longitudinal, lateral and pitch” has been developed in which, tire and suspension characteristics have been considered. tire model is based on the elliptic concept and tire calspan data. according to this tire model, cornering force and aligning moment are computed as a function of slip and camber (inclination) angles, normal load, tire adhesion characte...
