This paper proposes SSM(Sensor Steering Mechanism) for lateral guided vehicle with rear wheel steering mechanism. Authors demonstrated the geometry of SSM for the front wheel steer type and the reverse phase four-wheel steer type one. SSM presents a stable lateral guiding performance for automated vehicle which follows a straight and curved path created by guideway. The other hand, SSM is not e...

The problem of finite element modeling and analysis of dynamic interactions between the launcher and a remotely piloted aircraft structure is considered. The governing equations of motion are shown to constitute a set of ordinary differential equations with time varying structural matrices. An iterative strategy that treats separately the dynamics of the launcher and the aircraft is developed. ...

Abstract This paper proposes SSM (Sensor Steering Mechanism) for a lateral guided vehicle with an articulated body. Authors demonstrated the simple lateral guiding method SSM for the front wheel steer type, the reverse phase four-wheel steer type and the rear wheel steer type vehicle. SSM presents the stable lateral guiding performance for automated vehicle which follows a straight and curved p...

This paper investigates the thermal characteristics of a vertical guideway system for precision milling machine applications by considering three heat sources, namely motor heat, viscous shearing hydrostatic bearings, and friction from ballscrew nut. A finite element (FE) model using ANSYS/Fluent was used to simulate oil film bearings in operational feed speed generation Eight K-type thermocoup...
