An Advanced Anti-Slip Control Algorithm for Locomotives Under Complex Friction Conditions
Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics, 2021The locomotive wheelsets configured with high-power AC traction motors are very prone to slip under poor friction conditions, which usually impair traction/braking efficiency.

Comparative evaluation of fuel cell based powering systems for cleaner locomotives
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress, 2021Due to the high carbon dioxide emissions added to the atmosphere from the transportation sector, it is imperative to replace current transportation powering systems with more environmentally benign alternatives. This paper provides a comparative study of

ABSTRACTMost species of caterpillar move around by inching or crawling. Their ability to navigate in branching three‐dimensional structures makes them particularly interesting biomechanical subjects. The mechanism of inching has not been investigated in detail, but crawling is now well understood from studies on caterpillar neural activity, dynamics ...
