Automotive Industry is targeting sustainable transportation in near future. Therefore hybrid and electric vehicles are going to be popular due to their sustainability, energy saving and zero emission. Electric motors play significant role in EV’s. In-wheel motor technology is being used in modern electric vehicles to improve efficiency, safety and controllability of vehicle nowadays. BLDC motor...

Electric vehicle (EV) due to its running zero emission, sustainability and efficiency is of interest for future transportation. In-wheel technology has been one of the main research concentration points in last decade. BLDC motor is on demand for in-wheel application because of its high efficiency, torque/speed characteristics, high power to size ratio, high operating life and noiseless operati...

OBJECTIVE This paper's first objective is to determine whether motor priming assistance (consisting of directional steering wheel vibrations) can be of some benefit compared with more traditional auditory (lateralized sound) or vibratory (symmetric steering wheel oscillation) warning devices. We hypothesize that warning devices favor driving situation diagnosis, whereas motor priming can improv...

A simple method for studying operant wheel running in rats. The present report describes an operant running device for rats. The apparatus makes use of an activity wheel driven by a small electric motor. The motor is started by a bar press; once activated, the wheel turns for 3-30 sec. depending on the setting of a timing device. The system is well suited to long term studies of activity patter...

Original scientific paper By introducing a novel permanent magnetic bi-stable electromagnetic clutch unit (PMBECU) in the driveline of directly-driven electric vehicle, a flexible connection between motor and hub is realized with characteristic of separated starting process of drive motor and wheel load. Firstly, the working principle and power supply scheme for the PMBECU is discussed. Then th...

This paper presents an integration design scheme and an optimization control strategy for electric wheels to suppress the in-wheel vibration and improve vehicle ride comfort. The in-wheel motor is considered as a dynamic vibration absorber (DVA), which is isolated from the unsprung mass by using a spring and a damper. The proposed DVA system is applicable for both the inner-rotor motor and oute...

This article deals with the dynamic properties of individual wheel electric powertrains for fully electric vehicles, characterised by an in-board location of the motor and transmission, connected to the wheel through half-shafts. Such a layout is applicable to

Motor control is critical in daily life as well as in artistic and athletic performance and thus is the subject of intense interest in neuroscience. Mouse models of movement disorders have proven valuable for many aspects of investigation, but adequate methods for analyzing complex motor control in mouse models have not been fully established. Here, we report the development of a novel running-...

The series Hybrid-Electric Drive (HED) architecture brings a significant range of potential benefits to military ground platforms. Electric-drive wheeled vehicles can feature electric traction motors in a conventional driveline, but also offer potential for motor incorporation into the axle or the wheel hub. The implementation of in-wheel hub drives presents challenges both in their design and ...
