A configuration of a single-phase full-bridge AC-DC converter and dual active bridge (DAB) converter used in V2G (vehicle to grid) and G2V (grid to vehicle) technology is proposed in this paper. It can well realize the bi-directional energy fluidity. The numerous controllers can be designed by MATLAB SISOTOOL easily and quickly. And PLECS software is used to validate the function of the propose...

SYNOPSIS Advanced bridge analysis and design methods have been simplified with the aid of modern bridge software. This paper provides a summary of these new analysis and design methods and the advantages that can be achieved. Topics covered include automated vehicle load pattern generation methods to the new Australian Bridge Code (AS5100) and the New Zealand Transit Manual, recent developments...

Perceptual user interfaces are becoming important nowadays, because they offer a more natural interaction with the computer via speech recognition, haptics, computer vision techniques and so on. In this paper we present a visual-based interface (VBI) that analyzes users’ facial gestures and motion. This interface works in real-time and gets the images from a conventional webcam. Due to this, it...

System identification technique is used widely in the damage assessment of engineering structures. It is regarded as the key part of a structural health monitoring system, which identifies the physical parameters from the raw measurement data. The changes in the identified parameters will be used to assess the damage of the structure. Most system identification methods need the input loading an...

Bridge rails are a type of longitudinal barrier that serves the important purpose of keeping vehicles on the bridge structure. Many different designs have evolved for bridge rails, including some based upon the cross sections used for rigid concrete safety shapes. These designs need to conform to the crashworthiness requirements of NCHRP Report 350 or MASH to be acceptable for use on U.S. highw...

a new design for replacing a missing anterior tooth is described. in this article, a lingually fixed partial denture, its advantages, disadvantages, indication and contraindications have been explained. the ability of this design to replace a single missing central or lateral incisor is discussed.

In order to calculate the vehicle load model of Baijianhe Bridge, based on data health monitoring system, type, weight, wheelbase, and other information were counted processed diagraphed obtain probability density distribution. At same time, automobile parameters relative national current code finite element method are calculated. The results show that 2-axle 6-axle vehicles main types, account...

Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by decreased regional cerebral blood flow. Supporting this concept, both cognitive training exercises and physical activity promote blood flow increase and correlate with healthy cognitive aging. The terminal branches of the posterior circulation supply blood to areas of the brain, such as the thalamus, hippocampus, occipital lobe, and cerebellum, i...
