Analysis of the Traction Forces in Different Skull Traction Systems

Neurosurgery, 1988
During transportation of patients under skull traction, swinging of the weights produces acceleration forces that not only can cause pain and discomfort for the patient, but also can cause worsening of the cervical fracture or dislocation. Skull traction systems also involve friction forces.

ON THE TRACTION PROBLEM FOR THE STOKES SYSTEM

Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, 2002
The traction problem for the Stokes system is studied in the framework of the theory of the hydrodynamical potentials. Existence theorems and integral representations of classical solutions are given for domains having not connected boundary of class C1,α in both the bounded and exterior cases.

Pins and Rubbers Traction System

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1997
The Pins and Rubbers Traction System (PRTS) is a mobile frame created with wires to support elastic traction, which produces a ligamentotaxis effect in the same direction and of the same intensity whatever the position of the joint. This technique has been used in 11 cases of complex PIP joint fractures with eight excellent results.

Railway Traction Systems

2013
This Chapter presents a general description of the elements that characterize a railway electric transportation systems: the supply system, the traction line, the rolling stock, signalling, and additional subsystems, that equip modern railway transportation systems, in particular urban and suburban railway transportation facilities.

A traction control system for motocross and supermotard

2008 International Workshop on Intelligent Solutions in Embedded Systems, 2008
The traction control is a widely used control system to increase stability and safety of four wheel vehicles. Automatic stability control is used in the BMW K1200R motorcycle and in motoGP competition, but not in other motorcycles. This paper presents an algorithm and a low cost real time hardware implementation for motocross and supermotard ...

Continuous Overvoltages on A.C. Traction Systems

IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, 1983
Methods of calculating a. c. traction system overvoltages caused by harmonic distortion in the locomotive current waveforms are described. A comparison is made between the results of an analogue simulation and measurements obtained during a site test.

A haptic-based traction control system

2013 American Control Conference, 2013
This paper presents a haptic support system for traction control (HTC). The haptic gas pedal exerts a wheel slip dependent force; this enables an efficient information transfer so that the driver is able to close the loop. The paper presents the basic rationale and validates it with an experimental campaign carried out with a driver-in-the-loop ...

An on-board Monitoring System for Electrical Railway Traction Systems

2006 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Proceedings, 2006
Energy saving in electrical railway traction systems has gained more and more relevance in the last years. As a matter of fact, the need for increasing speed in order to provide better quality services, implies an increase in energy consumption, and in operational costs. To keep the latter at the lowest level possible, it is possible to adapt the train'
