Abstract: The steering control laws of commercial three-axle vehicle are studied based on the closed-loop control model of the driver-vehicle-road. The steering characteristics of the three-axle vehicle can ...

Abstract: This research investigates the dynamic analysis of a single-rotor shaft system with nonlinear elastic bearings at the ends mounted on viscoelastic suspension. Timoshenko shaft model is utilized ...

Abstract: In this paper, a mass-spring-friction oscillator subjected to two harmonic disturbing forces with different frequencies is studied for the first time. The friction in the system has combined ...

Abstract: Axially moving materials can represent many engineering devices such as power transmission belts, elevator cables, plastic films, magnetic tapes, paper sheets, textile fibers, band saws, aerial ...

Abstract: The vibrations and stability are investigated for an axially moving rectangular antisymmetric cross-ply composite plate supported on simple supports. The partial differential equations governing the ...

Abstract: A linear damped hybrid (continuous/discrete components) model is developed in this paper to characterize the dynamic behavior of serpentine belt drive systems. Both internal material damping and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel design paradigm as well as the related detailed mechanical design embodiment of a mechanically hybrid mobile robot. The robot is composed of a combination of parallel ...

Abstract: A uniaxial cyclic stretch apparatus is designed and developed for tissue engineering research. The biostretch apparatus employs noncontact electromagnetic force to uniaxially stretch a rectangular ...
