Abstract: Vehicles connected to electric systems are considered “pluginâ€‌ vehicles. They can be an integral part of a microgrid. Ground vehicles have become more electrified over time, providing electrical power for the propulsion ...

Abstract: Computational simulation models support a rapid design process. Given model approximation and operating conditions uncertainty, designers must have confidence that the designs obtained using simulations will perform as ...

Abstract: This paper discusses fundamental issues related to the integration of computer aided design and analysis (ICADA) by introducing a new class of ideal compliant joints that account for the distributed inertia and elasticity. ...
