Abstract: The energy dissipated in a vehicle suspension system due to road roughness affects rolling resistance and the resulting fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission. The key parameters driving this dissipation mechanism ...

Abstract: Recently, hydrogels have been employed in a variety of engineering applications as promising materials, since their porous structure and hydrophilicity enables them to absorb a large amount of water. Atomistic simulations ...

Abstract: A novel figure of merit based on the concept of signature curve for cold formed steel (CFS) cross sections is used to improve the structural member’s overall behavior regardless of length and boundary conditions. The ...
