Axisymmetric and quasi-static finite element analysis of an inflated tire rotating with constant angular velocity and contact to road has been performed. Centrifugal force effect was added to load stiffness matrix and equation of effective material properties were calculated by the Halpin-Tsai formulation. In this report, radial truck/bus tire was analyzed. It was inflated and rotated at speeds up to 140 km/h. Then, contact problem was performed to calculate stress-strain field of tire wiht flat rigid road under the load due to the self-weight of a vehicle. Significant changes of stress-strain field of tire were observed in the finite element analysis. Shear stress, strain and strain energy density were rapidly increased at the dege of #2 belt at freely rotating state. This concentrated stress and strain made belt edge sparation. Under the condition of flat riged road contact, strain energy density of #2 belt, carcass turn-up part were concentrated and bigger values than only freely rotation state. Therefore, dynamic behaivor of tire has to considered as design factors which are affected to belt edge separation and bead breakage.

The impact behavior of a multigirder concrete bridge under single and multiple moving vehicles is studied based on correlated road surface characteristics. The bridge structure is modeled as grillage beam system. A 3D nonlinear vehicle model with eleven degrees of freedom is utilized according to the HS20-44 truck design loading in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) specifications. A triangle correlation model is introduced to generate four classes of longitudinal road surface roughness as multi-correlated random processes along deck transverse direction. On the basis of a correlation length of approximately half the bridge width, the upper limits of impact factors obtained under confidence level of 95 percent and side-by-side three-truck loading provide probability-based evidence for the evaluation of AASHTO specifications. The analytical results indicate that a better transverse correlation among road surface roughness generally leads to slightly higher impact factors. Suggestions are made for the routine maintenance of this type of highway bridges.

Multi-radio multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network requires an effective management policy to control the assignment of channels to each radio. We concentrated our investigation on modeling method and solution to find a dynamic channel assignment scheme that is adapted to change of network traffic. Multi-path routing scheme was chosen to overwhelm the unreliability of wireless link. For a particular traffic state, our optimization model found a specific traffic distribution over multi-path and a channel assignment scheme that maximizes the overall network throughput. We developed a simple heuristic method for channel assignment by gradually removing clique load to obtain higher throughput. We also presented numerical examples and discussion of our models in comparison with existing research.

Calorific value of mixed gas, like liquefied natural gas (LNG), is strongly depends on its compositions which are affected by the mining place and producing time. The variation in calorific value have an direct influence on the combustion characteristics and performances of boiler, burner, vehicle, power plants etc. Thus, developing experimental method to measure exact calorific value is becoming an issue in the related industrial fields. Flame calorimeter is developed to get calorific value at the dynamic equilibrium state using electric substitution method. Refrigerant-11 carries heat from combustor and/or heater to the Peltier elements which pumped it out to the cooling water. It is found out that error in the measured calorific value of methane is 2.86% compared with the theoretical one. Developed design technique and the experimental data will be applied to design the national standard gas calorific value measuring apparatus.

This paper presents the attitude algorithm using Fuzzy technique to mix gyro information with accelerometer. The attitude angle calculated by the low-cost gyros only increases its error with time rapidly because of the integration process of the algorithm and large sensor error. It is known that the accelerometer output includes the attitude information of a vehicle and its information is more effective during low dynamic maneuver. Therefore it is needed to combine two information appropriately for obtaining the attitude information from low-cost MEMS inertial sensors. Because Fuzzy logic is very effective to make a decision of maneuvering state, it is applied to the mixed algorithm. It is shown by experiment ...

The most important difference of an airship from conventional vehicle is that it has the apparent mass and inertia provided from the existence of Helium gas inside the airship. To acquire To acquire the exact response of the airship, the longitudinal responses of airship with respect to the vertical gust, which is the non-linear system, have been studied. An Airship has neutral buoyancy in equilibrium state. When it moves, its motion shows much difference comparing with conventional aircraft. Here, we compare two cases, the one has the apparent mass and the other hasn´t. With the apparent mass, the magnitude of the former response is smaller than the latter, while the frequency is higher. However, the apparent mass delay ...

In this study, steady and unsteady aerodynamic analyses of a huge rocket configuration have been conducted in a transonic flow region. The launch vehicle structural response are coupled with the transonic flow state transitions at the nose of the payload fairing. The developed fluid-structure coupled analysis system is applied for aeroelastic computations combining computational structural dynamics(CSD), finite element method(FEM) and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) in the time domain. It can give very accurate and useful engineering data on the structural dynamic design of advanced flight vehicles. For the nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics in high transonic flow region, Navier-Stokes equations using the structured grid system have been applied to the rocket configurations. Also, it is typically shown that the current computation approach can yield realistic and practical results for rocket design and test engineers.

In this paper, an efficient attitude determination algorithm based on the Kalman Filter which combines earth/sun sensor data with gyro data in a mutually compensating manner is presented. Quaternion is used as the attitude state to save computation time and to prevent the gimbal-lock situation associated with Euler angles. Gyro data allows the use of the kinematic equation instead of space vehicle's dynamic equation which is usually based on approximation of the actual dynamics and inaccurate torque information. The gyro data are used to propagate the attitude through kinematic equation and the earth/sun sensor data are used to update the attitude and estimate the gyro bias. Simulation results for the KOMPSAT attitude determination system are presented.

In this paper, we propose the novel behavior control algorithm by using the efficient searching method based on the characteristic of the swarm robots in unknown space. The proposed method consists of identifying the position and moving state of a robot by the dynamic modelling of a wheel drive vehicle, and planing behavior control rules of the swarm robots based on the sensor range zone. The cooperative search for unknown space is carried out by the proposed behavior control. Finally, some experiments show the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed method.

Fruits are subjected to complex dynamic stresses in the transportation environment. During a long journey form the production area to markets, there is always some degree of vibration present. Vibration inputs are transmitted from the vehicle through the packaging to the fruit. Inside, these cause sustained bouncing of fruits against each other and container wall. These steady state vibration input may cause serious fruit injury, and this damage is particularly severe whenever the fruit inside the package is free to bounce, and is vibrated at its resonant frequency. The determination of the resonant frequencies of the fruit may help the packaging designer to determine the proper packaging system providing adequate protection for the fruit, and to understand the complex interaction between the components of fruit when they relate to expected transportation vibration inputs.
