Optimal Design of an Autotensioner in an Automotive Belt Drive System Via a Dynamic Adaptive PSO-GA
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Noise, vibration, and harshness performances are always concerns in design of an automotive belt drive system. The design problem of the automotive belt drive system requires the minimum transverse vibration of each belt ...
Periodic Response of a Timing Belt Drive System With an Oval Cogged Pulley and Optimal Design of the Pitch Profile for Vibration Reduction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A complete dynamic model of a timing belt drive system with an oval cogged pulley and an auto-tensioner is established in this work. Periodic torsional vibrations of all accessory pulleys and the tensioner arm are calculated ...
Modeling Road Surface Temperature from Air Temperature and Geographical Parameters—Implication for the Application of Floating Car Data in a Road Weather Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrecise forecasts of road surface temperature (RST) and road conditions allow winter roads to be maintained efficiently. The upcoming ?big data? application known as ?floating car data? (FCD) provides the opportunity ...
On the Displacement of a Two-Dimensional Eshelby Inclusion of Elliptic Cylindrical Shape
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a companion paper,ff2 we have obtained the closed-form solutions to the stress and strain fields of a two-dimensional Eshelby inclusion. The current work is concerned with the complementary formulation of the displacement. ...
Explicit Analytical Solutions for the Complete Elastic Field Produced by an Ellipsoidal Thermal Inclusion in a Semi-Infinite Space
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal inclusion in an elastic half-space is a classical micromechanical model for describing localized heating near a surface. This paper presents explicit analytical solutions for the complete elastic fields, including ...
