A Novel Adaptive and Nonlinear Electrohydraulic Active Suspension Control System with Zero Dynamic Tire Liftoff

Machines, 2020
In this paper, a novel adaptive control system (NAC) is proposed for a restricted quarter-car electrohydraulic active suspension system. The main contribution of this NAC is its explicit tackling of the trade-off between passenger comfort/road holding ...

Direct and Indirect Impacts of Vegetation on Building Comfort: A Comparative Study of Lawns, Green Walls and Green Roofs

Energies, 2016
Following development and validation of the SOLENE-microclimat tool, the underlying model was used to compare the impacts of various “greening strategies” on buildings’ summer energy consumption and indoor comfort. This study distinguishes between direct
