This document contains details of the SCM deformable soil model implemented in Chrono. The soft soil model discussed herein is an extended version of the classical SCM Soil Contact Model used at DLR for predicting rover mobility. The model, which is based on a fast semi-empirical expeditious approach that requires few parameters, is ideal for scenarios that require a fast (near real-time) simul...

Electric vehicle is considered to be the solution for energy crisis and environment pollution in individual transportation. However, electric vehicles are still not competitive with conventional vehicles limited by the driving range with the state-of-art power battery technology. Therefore, energy efficiency is of crucial importance for battery electric vehicles due to the limited stored energy...

this paper describes the theoretical and experimental investigations of the key components and also the performance analysis of a rotary wheel for using as a solid desiccant dehumidifier and also indirect evaporator cooling system. solid desiccants have long been used in dehumidification and cooling systems for energy efficiency or reduce electricity. although many mathematical models on the ro...

This study aims to improve the vehicle vertical dynamics performance in sprung and unsprung state for in-wheel-motor-driven electric vehicles (IWMD EVs) while considering unbalanced magnetic force effects. An integrated vibration elimination system (IVES) is developed, containing a dynamic vibration-absorbing structure between IWM suspension. It also includes an active suspension based on delay...

This research is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of the grinding process. A kind of robust grinding wheel reciprocating arrangement is schemed out, which realizes the precise point-grinding machining. The grinding wheel reciprocating movement is driven by a linear motor to replace the traditional crank or hydraulic pressure drive device. Based on the time series method, the modal exp...

In the bare public-key model, introduced by Canetti et al. [STOC 2000], it is only assumed that each verifier deposits during a setup phase a public key in a file accessible by all users at all times. As pointed out by Micali and Reyzin [Crypto 2001], the notion of soundness in this model is more subtle and complex than in the classical model. Indeed Micali and Reyzin have introduced four diffe...
