Ride comfort and handling performances are known conflicts for off-road vehicles. Recent publications focus on passenger vehicles class B C roads, while, vehicles, they should be able to run rougher roads: D, E, or F roads. In this paper, a quarter vehicle model with nonlinear damping is established analyze the suspension performance of medium road. The ride comfort, road holding, indicated by weighted root mean square (RMS) value vertical acceleration sprung mass, travel, tire deflection....

Many crystals in nature have simple interatomic microstructures, such as cubic (SC), body-centered (BCC), and face-centered (FCC) lattice symmetries, making these structures extremely stable. Inspired by arrangements, a series of architected micro-channel heat exchangers with rationally designed 3D microstructures were established. A multi-physics mathematical model using thermal-fluid-structure interaction (TFSI) was employed to investigate the coupled transfer performance mechanical...

The operational temperature of the magnetorheological (MR) fluid retarder is usually over 80 °C, and it reaches 150 °C when heat dissipation doesn't function well. high will seriously affect working efficiency MR by decreasing viscosity fluid, which affects generated braking torque. For analysis behavior retarder, an experimental study a thermal management system using thermoelectric cooling (TEC) module with sink as unit was conducted. variation tendencies for TEC were investigated during...

Abstract Vehicle overload seriously affects the traffic safety, damages road infrastructure, and service life is reduced. There are many shortcomings in current detection methods for overloaded vehicles. Traditional static weighing stations relatively fixed affect efficiency; cost of motion station high, while precision not enough; on-board electronic products require modification vehicles, which difficult to promote. In this paper, a non-contact method based on body vibration proposed....

The inertia, damp and friction force of machine reduces steering-wheel returnability, which drivers occasionally perceive as unpleasant. This phenomenon occurs in any EPS system regardless motor type or mounting location.
