Abstract: Experimental findings are presented which demonstrate the coupled transport, mechanical and morphological changes in porous battery materials when they are cycled electrochemically. These materials, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a feedback control performance of a full-car suspension system featuring electrorheological (ER) dampers for a passenger vehicle. A cylindrical ER damper is designed and ...

Abstract: Mechanical degradation in fibrous composite electrodes in use in NiMH(nickel metal hydride) batteries is being studied. NiMH cells exhibit failure in the positive plate due to swelling induced ...

Abstract: Models are presented for the evolution of transport and mechanical properties of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery substrates. In the first paper in this series (Wang et al., 1999), conductive ...

Abstract: The limitations of the current generation of robotic systems has triggered a new research thrust for predicting the elastodynamic response of assemblages of articulating flexible-bodied systems. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a semi-active seat suspension with an electrorheological (ER) fluid damper. A cylindrical ER seat damper is devised on the basis of a Bingham model of an arabic gum-based ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design and experimental implementation of a longitudinal control system for the operation of automated vehicles in platoons. The control system on each vehicle is designed ...
