Improved Vehicle Vibration Control through Optimization of Suspension Parameters Using the Response Surface Method and a Non-Linear Programming with a Quadratic Lagrangian Algorithm

open access: yesActuators, 2023
Vibration-control techniques generally fall into two categories: passive methods that optimize the structure of the suspension to absorb any impact from the ground, and active methods that directly control the vertical force of the suspension by ...

Trapping dust particles in the outer regions of protoplanetary disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Aims. We attempt to explain grain growth to mm sized particles and their retention in the outer regions of protoplanetary disks, as observed at sub-mm and mm wavelengths, by investigating whether strong inhomogeneities in the gas density profiles can ...

Improvement of Boeing Bump Method Considering Aircraft Vibration Superposition Effect

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Pavement evaluation is critical for the decision-making process of pavement preservation and rehabilitation. Roughness is a key airport pavement characteristic that has been linked to impacts such as safety and service life. The Boeing Bump is one of the

Map++: A Crowd-sensing System for Automatic Map Semantics Identification

open access: yes, 2015
Digital maps have become a part of our daily life with a number of commercial and free map services. These services have still a huge potential for enhancement with rich semantic information to support a large class of mapping applications. In this paper,

Dust Evolution and the Formation of Planetesimals

open access: yes, 2016
The solid content of circumstellar disks is inherited from the interstellar medium: dust particles of at most a micrometer in size. Protoplanetary disks are the environment where these dust grains need to grow at least 13 orders of magnitude in size. Our

Multi-field Inflation with a Random Potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Motivated by the possibility of inflation in the cosmic landscape, which may be approximated by a complicated potential, we study the density perturbations in multi-field inflation with a random potential.

Stellar irradiated discs and implications on migration of embedded planets I: equilibrium discs

open access: yes, 2012
The strength and direction of migration of low mass planets depends on the disc's thermodynamics. In discs where the viscous heating is balanced by radiative transport, the migration can be directed outwards, a process which extends the lifetime of ...

Bump Modeling and Vehicle Vertical Dynamics Prediction

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2014
During a journey, motor vehicles are subjected to different types of irregularities in the pavement. Some of these irregularities are introduced for a specific purpose over a stretch of road to slow down the vehicle at certain road points.

Dynamical Synapses Enhance Neural Information Processing: Gracefulness, Accuracy and Mobility

open access: yes, 2012
Experimental data have revealed that neuronal connection efficacy exhibits two forms of short-term plasticity, namely, short-term depression (STD) and short-term facilitation (STF).
