High comfort for the driver in working vehicles is an important feature as well as a demand from the drivers. Low noise level is an essential factor for the manufacturer to maintain a high standard and comfort of vehicles. In many cases the noise inside the cabin can be related to the engine orders. Hydraulic pumps and fans are also related to the engine but not necessarily integers of the engi...

Low frequency tonal noise, associated with engine firing frequency, often makes a significant contribution to sound levels that exist inside tractor cabins. Because these tones are low frequency in nature, they present a considerable challenge to passive noise control techniques, but are good candidates for active noise control applications. The presence of such noise can also threaten machiner...

The wealth of information available on seemingly every topic creates a considerable challenge both for information providers trying to rise above the noise and discerning individuals trying to find relevant, trustworthy information. We approach this information problem by investigating how passive versus interactive information interventions can impact the antecedents of behavior change using t...

Passive flow control techniques, and particularly vortex generators have been used successfully in a broad range of aero- hydrodynamics applications to alter the characteristics boundary layer separation. This study aims review how such techniques can mitigate extent impact cavitation incompressible flows. focuses first on characterize key physical principles. It then considers complete passive...
