This paper introduces a novel passive suspension system for ground vehicles. This system is based on a flexible Electromagnetic Shock Absorber (EMSA). In the proposed system, efforts are made to a) select a high damping coefficient usable in a car b) determine Physical dimensions and geometry not much different from those of the mechanical shock absorbers and c) seletct EMSA weight and volume l...

We use the Covid-19 pandemic to assess whether diversification in various dimensions can protect European banks from substantial negative valuation shocks. Our results demonstrate that functional acts as an economically significant shock absorber: it mitigates banks’ stock market decline by approximately 10 percentage points. Loan portfolio also contributes dampening shock, but with a much lowe...

With regenerative braking technology reaching maturity manufacturers are studying other forms of energy regeneration, amongst these, regenerative suspension. Although there have been several regenerative shock absorber developments over the past decade, including linear-tubular electric motors and hydraulic actuator based systems, cost and complexity have delayed large scale deployment in serie...

This paper investigates the feasibility of using machine learning algorithms to predict the loads experienced by a landing gear during landing. For this purpose, results on drop test data and flight test data will be examined. This paper will focus on the use of Gaussian Process regression for the prediction of loads on components of a landing gear. For the learning task, comprehensive measurem...
