The drawbar pull, travel reduction (slip), and rolling resistance are the main criteria to describe the traction behaviour of off road vehicles. Besides the engine performance, the drawbar pull is influenced by the traction conditions such as soil and the tire parameters. These traction conditions have to be described by a limited number of parameters which can be easily determined. Empirical e...

in this paper, we study the effects of hall and ion-slip currents on the steady magneto-micropolar of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid over a horizontal plate by taking in to account the viscous dissipation effects. by means of similarity solutions, deviation of fundamental equations on the assumption of small magnetic reynolds number are solved numerically by using qu...

The boundary layer flow of Cu-water based nanofluid with heat transfer over a stretching sheet is numerically studied. Second order velocity slip flow model is considered instead of no-slip at the boundary. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary one using similarity transformation, before being solved numerically. Numerical solutions of these equations are ob...

The effects of hydrodynamic and thermal slip boundary conditions on the double-diffusive free convective flow of a nanofluid along a semi-infinite flat solid vertical plate are investigated numerically. It is assumed that free stream is moving. The governing boundary layer equations are non-dimensionalized and transformed into a system of nonlinear, coupled similarity equations. The effects of ...

Off road ground vehicles have many potential applications, including space, defence, agriculture, mining and construction. Increased autonomy of ground vehicles will not only improve the safety of the operators but also assist in trajectory tracking. Accurate estimation of slip is essential in developing autonomous navigation strategies for mobile off road vehicles operating in unstructured ter...

The effect of slip boundary conditions on the blood flow taking blood as a Casson fluid has been studied. It is observed that axial velocity, volumetric flow rate and pressure gradient decrease along the radial distance as the slip length increases but the wall shear stress increases with increase in slip length. All the results derived are presented analytically and graphically by selecting su...

We present 2D dynamic rupture models of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake based on linear slip-weakening friction. We use different types of available observations to constrain our model parameters. The distribution of stress drop is determined by the final slip distribution from slip inversions. As three groups of along-dip slip distribution are suggested by different slip inversions, we present ...

In this paper, empirical mode decomposition technique is used to analyze the spatial slip distribution of five past earthquakes. It is shown that the finite fault slip models exhibit five empirical modes of oscillation. The last intrinsic mode is positive and characterizes the non-stationary mean of the slip distribution. This helps in splitting the spatial variability of slip into trend and th...

We study the flow of concentrated hard-sphere colloidal suspensions along smooth, nonstick walls using cone-plate rheometry and simultaneous confocal microscopy. In the glass regime, the global flow shows a transition from Herschel-Bulkley behavior at large shear rate to a characteristic Bingham slip response at small rates, absent for ergodic colloidal fluids. Imaging reveals both the "solid" ...

The precise position control, of multi-motor electric vehicles (EVs) by generating the asymmetric pulse generation is presented. The energy saving algorithm is implemented in the power drain control of EV system to improve the electrical safety and slip control of electric vehicle. The acceleration and Deceleration of the electric vehicle for wheel slip control were analyzed using the parameter...
